Happy Ghasts Boost
by Lupin
Happy Ghasts Boost gives a Happy Ghast a speed increase once a rider keeps flying in one direction for a few seconds.
What it does
Holding a straight course for a short stretch lets the mount build up a speed boost, and that boost stays in place until the rider changes heading. Speed potions stack with it, so a mount that reacts to them can travel faster still. The mod is meant for long trips across open terrain, where a steady heading is common.
The mod needs MonoLib and Vanilla Backport, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.20.1, 1.21, 1.21.1, 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
