Faster Ghastlings

by Proficode

Faster Ghastlings raises the flight speed of ghastlings, and a speed effect can push it further still.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalGNU General Public License v2.0 only1.21.5 – 26.1

What it does

Ghastlings fly faster by default once the pack is installed on the server. The speed effect builds on that base, so a ghastling under the effect moves quicker than one without it. Because the change is applied through a data pack, the server needs it, while players can join without installing anything.

Changes to the flight speed attribute do not return to their original values when the data pack is removed. Ghastlings that were affected stay at the modified speed until their attribute is reset by other means. The author recommends pairing the pack with Explosive Sulfur, another pack that changes the same creatures.

The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across eight release versions, 1.21.5 – 26.1, and as a data pack for server platforms. Its license is the GNU General Public License v2.0 only, so the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Faster default flight

    Ghastlings are given an increased flight speed compared with vanilla behavior.

  2. Speed effect stacking

    The speed effect applies on top of the raised flight speed, so affected ghastlings travel faster still.

  3. Persistent attribute changes

    Speed values already applied to ghastlings remain after the data pack is uninstalled.

  4. Pack pairing

    The author recommends using it with the Explosive Sulfur pack.
