Happy Ghast but Fast (2x Speed)
by LavishAujla
With Happy Ghast but Fast installed on a server, the Happy Ghast flies at twice its normal speed, so players can cross the Nether skies faster.
What it does
The mod raises the flying speed attribute of Happy Ghasts to twice the vanilla value through Minecraft attributes, so every ghast on the server moves faster without any change to how it is ridden or controlled. It is also distributed as a data pack for servers that do not run a mod loader, and it runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Only the server needs it: players can join without installing anything. Released under the MIT License, the mod is not open source. Files cover 1.21.2 – 26.2 across 14 release versions, with snapshot builds published.
