What it does

Only a player who is mounted on a happy ghast gets the faster flying speed, so the ghasts keep their normal pace while idling and their animations stay unchanged. The speed attribute is set to 0.09 by default, nearly double the vanilla value of 0.05, and a slider in the in-game chat lets the speed range from 0 to 200 versus the vanilla 50.

Setup starts with a clickable message in the in-game chat that opens a dialog with autocomplete, which is where the config is found. Earlier versions below 2.1.0 required editing the config file by hand and reloading the world, and a data pack can set any flying speed the server owner wants. Simple Fast Happy Ghasts is a server required mod, and the client is optional, so players may join without installing it. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 11 release versions, 1.21.6 – 26.3, under the MIT License, and it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Faster ridden flight

    Only the mounted player's ghast gets the speed boost, and the switch is applied when a player climbs on or gets off.

  2. In-game speed slider

    A slider in the in-game chat dialog sets the flying speed without editing any file.

  3. Data pack option

    A data pack can set the happy ghast flying speed to any value, for servers that prefer it.

  4. Legacy custom speed

    Versions below 2.1.0 let the speed be set through the config file instead.
