Changelog

1.3.0 — 2026-10-30

• Your ghast really flies to you: when called it climbs to about 20 blocks above the ground, follows the terrain and glides down a few blocks from you, going over obstacles instead of through them.
• Hear it coming: you hear your ghast from wherever you call it, and a message tells you whether it is on its way, has arrived, is busy or cannot reach you.
• Choose how far it hears you: set the call distance from 16 to 512 blocks (100 by default).
• Call it with a goat horn (new option, off by default): any goat horn calls your ghast instead of the key.
• Speed from potions (new option, off by default): your ghast flies at vanilla speed until you splash it with Speed I or Speed II; beacons can count too.
• New "Wander" leave mode: your ghast roams up to 30 blocks, turning to face where it goes and staying within reach. It goes back to it after you untie a lead, like every other leave mode.
• Clearer settings: options are now grouped into sections.

If you play on a server with the mod, update both the client and the server to 1.3.0.

1.2.0 — 2026-10-24

• Mine at normal speed while riding (new option, on by default): break blocks from your ghast as fast as standing on the ground, instead of 5 times slower.
• Pass through entities (new option, on by default): the ghast you fly glides through boats and other ghasts and no longer pushes mobs away.
• First-person visibility: choose how your ghast and its cargo (hanging boats, whoever sits in them, mobs on its leads) look in first person: Normal, Hidden or Semi-transparent. Semi-transparent fades the harness too. Replaces the old "Hide ghast in first person" option, keeping your choice.
• Riding with two: the pilot keeps control when the other rider gets off or stands on top of the ghast.

1.1.0 — 2026-10-16

• Hang a boat from your ghast: while riding, right-click your ghast with a boat in hand and a lead in your inventory, and a boat hangs below it, ready to carry friends or mobs (can be turned off).
• Build through your ghast (new option, off by default): place blocks where your ghast's body is, so it no longer gets in the way when you build looking down.
• Vanilla controls option: fly the way the base game does (look up or down to climb, Sneak gets you off) while keeping pass-through blocks, calling and the other features.
• Calling your ghast now stops it a few blocks away instead of right next to you; if it is already close, it just turns to face you.
• Hiding the ghast in first person now also hides the boats hanging from it and their ropes.
• Descending with Sneak no longer crouches you: the camera stays steady.

1.0.0 — 2026-10-13

First release for Minecraft 26.3 (Fabric). The Happy Ghast as it always should have been: a little bit of creative inside survival, to build comfortably anywhere.

• Ride a harnessed Happy Ghast like creative flight, with smooth, adjustable acceleration.
• Pass through blocks to stay with your ghast while building in the air, inside mountains or in tight spaces (can be turned off).
• Speed presets: faster than vanilla, but much slower than elytra by default; Vanilla, Calm, Recommended, Fast, Creative or your own.
• Call your ghast back with a key (G by default).
• Choose what your ghast does when you get off: float around naturally, stay still or wander like vanilla.
• Dismount with Left Alt, so Sneak can descend. Every key can be changed.
• Simple settings screen with no extra libraries (Mod Menu supported) and an option to hide the ghast in first person.
• Works on servers without the mod (flight controls only); server owners can set limits.
• Available in English, Español (España), Español (México), Português (Brasil), Português (Portugal), Français, Deutsch, Italiano, Nederlands, Polski, Türkçe, Русский, Українська, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語 and 한국어.
