Happy Ghast but Fast (3x Speed)
by LavishAujla
Happy Ghast but Fast raises the flying speed of Happy Ghasts to three times their normal rate, applied through Minecraft attributes.
What it does
Happy Ghasts drift and dart across Nether skies at a pace set by the vanilla flying speed attribute. This mod multiplies that attribute so a ridden ghast covers ground three times faster than usual, while the mob keeps its behavior. It is packaged as a datapack, so it works on servers that load datapacks rather than only mod loaders. The server must run the change, while players may leave it out. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 14 release versions, 1.21.2 – 26.2, under the MIT License, and the code is not open source.
