Happy ghast speed upgrade
Happy ghast speed upgrade changes how fast players ride happy ghasts, with the mount speed set in a config file.
What it does
The mod makes happy ghasts faster for players who ride them. The default speed can be changed, so a server owner decides how quickly mounts travel. Speed applies to the mount itself and is not set separately for each rider, which keeps the setting consistent across a server.
Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything. It is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.6 – 1.21.10 and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with the code open source. Source code and an issue tracker are linked from the project page, and the first build dates from 2025-10-31.
Key features
Configurable mount speed
A config value sets how fast happy ghasts move when ridden, replacing the vanilla default.
Speed per server
Because the setting lives on the server, every player on that server rides at the same speed.
Default speed option
The default speed can be restored by changing the config, so the vanilla pace can be returned to at any time.

How it compares
Faster Happy Ghasts by Dani is a separate mod for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge that runs on client and server, so both sides need it, and it is published for 1.21.6 – 1.21.8 under the MIT License. Happy Ghast but Fast (5x Speed) is server required with the client optional, works on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21.6 – 1.21.11, and is also released under the MIT License. Happy Ghast but Fast (8x Speed) covers the same loaders and version range and is licensed the same way, with a fixed multiplier instead of a speed set in a config.

Tired of super slow happy ghasts? Other mods and data packs make them faster even when nobody is riding them, which makes them look silly when on a leash?
