(Faster) Happy Ghast Mayhem
by CJRVWilliams
(Faster) Happy Ghast Mayhem changes how far and how fast a Happy Ghast carries a rider, while keeping mounting simple.
What it does
Players who ride a Happy Ghast can travel faster than with the vanilla mob, and the ghast moves more slowly once the rider has dismounted. Mounting is left as it is, so getting on stays simple. The floating ghasts that drift around the world keep their ambiance, since their behavior is not replaced. Only the server needs the mod, so players can join without installing anything. Files exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 10 release versions, 1.21.6 – 26.2, and the work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, so it is not open source.
Key features
Faster mounted ghasts
A Happy Ghast carries its rider at a higher speed, which makes long trips across the world quicker.
Slower when unridden
Once the rider dismounts, the ghast drifts at its normal pace instead of keeping the boosted speed.
Mounting unchanged
The process of climbing onto a Happy Ghast is not made harder, so exploring stays accessible.

What the author says
This pack allows for the Happy Ghast to be faster when the player mounts it, and slower when the player is dismounted. This makes it more useful for exploring, without making the mounting process more challenging. In addition, you don't lose the ambiance of happy ghasts floating around. Have a request for this pack…
