Tiny Ghasts

by fish4terrisa-MSDSM

Tiny Ghasts adds small, sad ghasts to the Nether that can be fought, tamed with cake, and revived with a lava bucket after they fall.

FabricClient and serverGNU Affero General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.21.5

What it does

Tiny ghasts spawn rarely in the Nether and follow the same rules as regular ghasts, so players meet them while exploring that dimension. Players can also get one with a summon command, and spawn eggs for tiny ghasts sit in the item group after the normal ghast spawn eggs. Taming needs a stock of cake, so players should gather a good amount before trying. Once tamed, a tiny ghast whose health drops below zero freezes and becomes invincible, and a lava bucket brings it back.

The mod requires Fabric API and runs on Fabric for 1.21.5 only, on the client and on the server, so the server and every player need it. Tiny Ghasts is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, and its source code and issue tracker are public. The latest Fabric file is 1.3.1+1.21.5, released on 2025-12-06, and the mod was first published on 2025-10-26. The author notes that a tamed tiny ghast that moves too far away, or into another dimension, teleports back to its owner, so players do not risk losing it. The release also includes code cleaning and bug fixes, and a tiny ghast cannot teleport a player who died in the Nether or the End and respawned in the Overworld.

\(This screenshot is taken with resource pack Cute Mob Models RP installed! Make sure to check it out! It'll automatically use the render for ghast, so all texture/model applied to normal ghast will apply to tiny ghasts as well!\)
