!The words "simple fast happy ghasts" displayed in large blocky letters. Below, in smaller text, are the words "makes ghasts fly faster when ridden no config necessary".
Features
- Makes happy ghasts fly faster only when being ridden by a player
- Sets all Happy Ghasts' flying speed attribute to 0.09 while being ridden, nearly doubling the default speed (0.05)
- that's all! no config necessary :D
Additional Notes
- The datapack can be configured as directed below to set happy ghast flying speed to whatever you want
(and now it's much simpler & faster!! (v2.1.0)) - Returns Happy Ghasts to normal speed when not being ridden because I think their animations look goofy when idling at high speed.
- Does not utilize any ticking functions - logic only runs when a player mounts or dismounts a happy ghast!
Optional Speed Configuration ⚙️
NEW in Version 2.1.0 - Simple Fast Speed Slider! 😎
!An animated gif showing an in game setting titled "Happy Ghast Flying Speed" being manipulated. The setting is being manipulated with a horizontaly sliding rectangular bar. To the right of the setting's title is a number. As the bar begins to move to the right, the number increases from 60 to 150. The slider then moves back towards the left, decreasing the number from 150 to 60. This motion repeats itself indefinetly.
Setting Custom Flying Speed [v2.1.0+]
Added in-game config slider to adjust happy ghast flying speed
The slider is contained in a dialog screen (see gallery). The slider can be accessed:
- ON INITIALIZATION (first install) by clicking the in-game chat message:
(click to modify the speed increase (if you want!))
- AT ANY TIME with the following command:
/dialog show @s fast_happy_ghasts:set_happy_ghast_speed
just typing "/dialog" will get you enough autocomplete to easily find the config
The Slider ranges from 0 -> 200
Vanilla Happy Ghast Flying Speed: 50
Simple Fast Happy Ghast Flying Speed Default: 90
this is the value the pack has always used 👍
Added slider as an option for altering the speed in game for simpler faster testing. This value was always configurable, but historically required editing an actual config file to do so. Now this can be done entirely in game and requires no file alterations or world reloads. (proud of this one, lol)
(Legacy) Setting your own custom speed [Versions Below 2.1.0]
To Set Your Own Custom Speed...
-
After download navigate through to the following directory:
- data > fastghasts > functions
-
Open the file 'started_riding_ghast.mcfunction' with VSC or Notepad
-
Change the value at the end of line 7 (0.04 by default) to whatever new value you want | this value is added to the base value of 0.05 | higher numbers will make happy ghasts faster, lower numbers make them slower!
- be careful about raising the value too high! i.e. a flying speed of 1 will make happy ghasts twenty times as fast and near uncontrollable (unless that's what you're after)
-
Save and close 'started_riding_ghast.mcfunction'
-
Type /reload in game to reload the datapack
