Happy Ghast Overhaul
by thesymplix
Happy Ghast Overhaul changes how happy ghasts are called, ridden, parked and sped up, and it is a Fabric mod for 26.2.
What it does
The mod overhauls the happy ghast, which the author describes as annoying and slow, by adding three main features that change how the mobs are used. Happy ghasts can be set to move about twice as fast, and the speed is adjusted in the config files. A player can call a happy ghast from anywhere in the same dimension, by blowing a goat horn and following the steps in the mod's instructions, and a nametag can give the ghast a name the horn glows with.
A claimed happy ghast can be parked by shift right-clicking the ground, and it then stays hovering about 2 blocks above the ground. Shift right-clicking a happy ghast with a goat horn starts the calling process. The mod requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric only, for 26.2, with the Paper server platform also listed. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and the license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
