Happy Ghast: Upgrade Snowballs
by TheNev
Happy Ghast: Upgrade Snowballs lets players attach upgrade classes to snowballs, which then change how a Happy Ghast flies and what it can do while carried.
What it does
Snowballs gain several upgrade classes, such as Copper and Diamond, and each class changes the flight behavior of a Happy Ghast. Upgrades let a player fine-tune how fast a Happy Ghast moves, so the ghast can be made quicker and more agile while its handling stays controllable.
Beyond speed, several special upgrades add unique effects for a rider. Some grant Night Vision or Slow Falling, and another turns the ghast into a siege machine that can ignite nearby TNT. Combined, the upgrades make the Happy Ghast a customizable companion for both travel and combat.
The mod requires Fabric API on Fabric. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 11 release versions, 1.21.6 – 26.3, under All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source.
