Happy ghast and ghast origins
by SQRT256_
Happy ghast and ghast origins gives players the option to pick a ghast as their origin, with the mob's flight and fireball abilities attached to the player.
What it does
Origins is the base layer, and Pehkui must also be installed for the scaling the mod relies on. Choosing the ghast origin lets a player fly, stay immune to lava and shoot fireballs, and players can ride one another. The mod is the first origin mod built around the happy ghast, and it fits survival and multiplayer servers where origin choice is part of play. Environment: client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source.
