Faster Happy Ghasts

by dani_dani

Faster Happy Ghasts speeds up Happy Ghasts when a player rides one, since the mobs are slow by default.

What it does

Happy Ghasts are flying mobs that players can ride, and in vanilla they move slowly. This mod raises their speed while a rider is on them, and it changes riding speed only, leaving other behavior alone. Fabric API is required on Fabric. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.21.6 – 1.21.8, and the mod runs on client and server, so both need it.

Key features

  1. Faster riding

    Happy Ghasts carry a rider at a higher speed, which shortens long flights across the world.

  2. Riding-only change

    The speed boost applies to riding, so Happy Ghasts without a rider keep their original movement.

  3. Simple setup

    The mod adds no items, blocks or commands, so it only changes how the mob moves.

How it compares

Full comparison

Happy Ghast but Fast (4x Speed) loads on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21.6 – 1.21.11, needs the server while the client stays optional, and is released under the MIT License without being open source. Faster Happy Ghasts runs on client and server and is not open source either, so the two differ in loaders and version range.

What the author says

This mod is pretty simple, it just makes the Happy Ghasts faster because they're awfully slow. The mod makes the happy ghasts riding speed faster only.
