Even Faster Happy Ghasts
by cazh0
Even Faster Happy Ghasts speeds up the Happy Ghast mount so players reach their destinations sooner, with the rate set in a config file.
What it does
The mod changes how fast a Happy Ghast flies while a player rides it and how fast an empty ghast wanders. Flying and wandering speeds are set separately, so each can be tuned on its own. A separate update interval controls how often the speed changes are applied: higher values save server ticks, and lower values make changes feel more responsive.
The mod is server required and client optional. Players on a dedicated server need nothing installed to see the changes, while a client with the mod gets a built-in config screen powered by YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL). It also adds a pilot seat that gives exact controls for flying ghast mounts. Files are published for Fabric only, in 11 release versions, and the code is under the MIT License, which is not open source.
Key features
Configurable flying speed
The speed of a ghast carrying a rider can be raised to any configured value.
Separate wandering speed
An empty ghast wandering around can be given its own speed, independent of the flying speed.
Update interval setting
How often speed changes are applied can be tuned, trading server work against how quickly changes take effect.
In-game config screen
A built-in settings screen, shown on the client, lets players adjust the values without editing files.

Use cases
Faster travel on a server
Server owners who want ghast rides to cover ground more quickly can raise the flying speed in the config.
Tuning for a lighter server
A larger update interval reduces how often the server applies speed changes, which saves server ticks.
Who it’s for: Server owners who run Fabric servers and want faster Happy Ghast travel, and players who want to tune the speed from the client config screen.
How it compares
Happy Ghast but Fast (2x Speed) is a Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt mod for 1.21.2 – 26.2, under the MIT License and not open source; is needed on the server, with the client optional, and a server alone is enough to change the speeds. Turbo Happy Ghast is open source under the MIT License and works on the same four loaders for 1.21.6 – 26.3, where a server alone is enough and players may skip it. SpeedyGhast is open source under the Apache License 2.0, built for Fabric only, and covers 1.21.6 – 1.21.11 as a server-side only mod.
