Happy Ghast [FORGE/FABRIC]
by kleiders3010
With the Happy Ghast mod, players can ride a ghast after crafting a harness and fitting it to the creature, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
A harness crafted and equipped on a ghast makes it rideable. A rider can step off the ghast and walk on top of it. The mod also adds a dried ghast that can be found in the Nether; hydrating it with water turns it into a ghastling, and waiting or feeding it snowballs turns the ghastling into a Happy Ghast. The creature is modeled on the one from Minecraft Live.
The mod supports multiple passengers on one creature. Its client and server environment means the server and every player need the mod installed. Files exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across seven game versions, 1.16.5 – 1.21.4, and the code is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Snapshot builds are not part of the release.
Key features
Rideable ghast
A harness equipped on a ghast allows a player to ride it, and the rider can step off to walk on the creature.
Multiple passengers
More than one player can ride the same Happy Ghast at once.
Sixteen harness colors
A harness is available in each of the 16 wool colors, so players can tell their creatures apart.
Dried ghast and ghastlings
A dried ghast found in the Nether becomes a ghastling after hydration with water, then grows into a Happy Ghast by waiting or by feeding it snowballs.
