NeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.8

What it does

Ghast variants appear in more than twenty collectible looks, and each one is tied to a biome. A ghast obtained in a plains, meadow, ocean, snowy or cherry grove biome takes the matching appearance, and the same applies to the mushroom island, the End and several forest types including birch and dark oak. Variants can be obtained in survival, including hidden ones that spawn in specific biomes.

The mod is client and server, so a server and every player who joins it need the mod installed. The source code is public, and the code is released under the MIT License, meaning it is open source. Files are published for NeoForge only, with 1.21.8 as the sole game version and 0.1.3 as the latest file, released on 2025-08-18. The first file appeared on 2025-07-30.

Key features

  1. Biome-based variants

    Each variant is assigned to a biome, so a ghast's look reflects where it was found in the world.

  2. Snow and ocean biomes

    Snowy and icy regions have their own looks, and warm and lukewarm oceans each add a distinct variant.

  3. Hidden variants

    Some variants are rarer and only spawn in specific biomes, so they can be found during normal survival play.

  4. Forest and End variants

    Cherry grove, mushroom island, birch forest, dark oak forest and the End dimension each add their own looks.
