Happy Ghast but Fast (5x Speed)
by LavishAujla
Happy Ghast but Fast raises the flying speed of Happy Ghasts to five times their normal rate, so the mobs cover the Nether skies far more quickly.
What it does
The mod changes the flying speed attribute of Happy Ghasts, multiplying it by five, and it does so through standard Minecraft attributes rather than new entities. A companion datapack is also available for servers that prefer that route. Ghasts keep their behavior and only travel faster.
The server needs the mod, and players may add it on their own clients. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering game versions 1.21.6 – 1.21.11, and the code is released under the MIT License. The project is not open source.
Key features
Five times the flight speed
The flying speed attribute of Happy Ghasts is boosted to five times its normal value, so they cross distances much faster.
Livelier encounters
Ghasts drift, dart and turn with more energy, which makes fights and chases in the Nether feel quicker.
Datapack option
A datapack version applies the same speed change for servers that do not want to install a mod.
