Faster Happy Ghast (FHG)
by Jom3a
Faster Happy Ghast changes how fast a ridden Happy Ghast flies, climbs and dives, so a rider can keep up with a sprinting player.
What it does
Default settings make the ridden Happy Ghast twice as fast as vanilla, about 6.6 blocks per second, where the vanilla ghast tops out near 3.3 blocks per second. Holding sprint raises the speed to about 8.6 blocks per second, and vertical movement has its own multiplier and top speed boost. Climbing and diving respond to the jump and forward keys, and the flight direction eases back once the rider lets go of the view.
The mod reworks flight physics and player steering, and it leaves wild ghasts drifting around the world alone. Everything is adjustable in-game through the config screen, and changes apply without a restart. Players reach that screen through Mod Menu on Fabric and through the built-in config on NeoForge. Cloth Config API and Fabric API are required, and Mod Menu is optional.
Key features
Faster flight
The ridden ghast flies at about twice its vanilla speed by default, and sprinting raises the top speed further.
Steering and camera control
Holding Left Alt lets the rider look around without steering, and the flight direction eases back after the view is released.
Climb and dive controls
Holding jump climbs and holding forward dives, while vertical movement has a separate multiplier and speed boost.
In-game configuration
Speed values and other settings can be changed in-game, with sliders that reach up to 1000 percent of vanilla speed.

What the author says
A vanilla ridden Happy Ghast tops out at about 3.3 blocks/second. Walking is 4.3. Sprinting is 5.6. You can outrun your own ghast on foot. Climbing is worse — roughly 1.6 blocks/second, so gaining any real altitude means holding jump and waiting.
