Freeze the Happy Ghasts
by Lupin
Freeze the Happy Ghasts lets players fix a Happy Ghast in place with a wand, so it stays where it was left instead of drifting away.
What it does
A wand freezes any Happy Ghast the player right-clicks, and right-clicking it again releases the mob. A frozen Happy Ghast remains at its position while the player builds, crafts or sorts items nearby, which the vanilla behavior does not allow. The wand is not given at the start of play; it is obtained by trading emeralds with the Wandering Trader.
The mod is meant for construction projects and item organization in survival and multiplayer worlds. Freeze the Happy Ghasts needs Vanilla Backport as a required dependency on every loader. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the latest build for 1.21.1 was published on 2025-11-01. The code is not open source, and the author keeps all rights reserved.

Use cases
Building near a Happy Ghast
A player can pin the mob in place so it does not float away during a construction project.
Organizing a base
Frozen Happy Ghasts keep their spots while the player arranges storage or crafting areas.
Who it’s for: Players who build or organize on a server or in single-player worlds and want Happy Ghasts to hold still. Server owners need the mod on the server and players need it on their clients.
How it compares
Faster Happy Ghasts is released under the MIT License, runs on client and server, and targets 1.21.6 – 1.21.8 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Super Fast Ghasts is also under the MIT License, covers 1.21.6 – 1.21.11 with Quilt support added, and only the server needs it, so players can join without installing anything. Freeze the Happy Ghasts is not open source, with all rights reserved, and changes how the mob behaves rather than its speed.
