FastGhast
Players riding a Happy Ghast can have its flight speed changed by a single Fabric config setting, with FastGhast handling the adjustment.
What it does
FastGhast changes the speed of a Happy Ghast while a player is mounted on it. A config value sets the speed, with a default of 0.15 against the vanilla 0.05, which is three times the standard rate. Server owners can set the value to suit their world, and players who want more or less pace can adjust it there.
The mod requires DACL and Fabric API on Fabric. Builds cover 1.21 – 26.3, with 17 release versions in total, and the latest Fabric file is 1.9 for 26.3, published on 2026-09-17. FastGhast is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public links to the source code and issue tracker. It is also listed for Paper, Spigot, Bukkit and Purpur servers.
The environment is server-side, so players join without installing anything. Snapshot builds are not mentioned on the Modrinth page, so the mod is covered only by the release versions listed above.
Key features
Adjustable mounted speed
The speed of a Happy Ghast a player is riding is changed to the value set in the config file.
Mounted rider control
The adjustment applies while a player sits on the Happy Ghast, so the ride itself is what changes.
Single config value
One setting controls the flight speed, and the change applies to every Happy Ghast on the server.

What the author says
Simple mod that let's you fully control the speed of the Happy Ghast when mounted by a player. In the config you can set the speed of the Happy Ghast, which is 0.15 by default (3x the 0.05 vanilla speed). Looking for a fun place to play Minecraft and try out some of my mods?
