Ghastling Mod
by kgemir18
Ghastling Mod adds the Ghastling, a tameable mini-Ghast that players can hatch from Dried Ghasts and ride across the Nether and the Overworld.
What it does
A Dried Ghast is a rare drop from regular Ghasts, which players find in Nether fortresses. Pouring water on a Dried Ghast revives it into a loyal Ghastling. Once tamed, the Ghastling follows its owner and can be ridden as a flying mount, so players can cross lava lakes without building bridges. A Ghastling flies slowly, takes very little damage from fireballs and is immune to lava.
Ghastlings grow over time when they are fed Ghast Tears, which strengthens them for combat. Both the server and every player need the mod, since the environment is client and server. It is published for NeoForge only, under All rights reserved, with a single build, 1.0.0, for 1.21.4 released on 2025-03-28.
