🎈 LiveGhast — Turn Your Happy Ghast Into a bombardier

LiveGhast is a lightweight, highly customizable plugin that transforms the vanilla Happy Ghast into a fully controllable bombardier. You have absolutely control

Built for Paper 1.21.6+ and Folia 1.21.6+.

🚀 Features

🧪 Fully Customizable Ghast Stats

Tweak both Happy Ghasts and Regular Ghasts to fit your server’s vibe:

• Size
• Speed
• Health & Armor
• Follow Range
• No-Despawn, Invulnerable, Silent, Glowing
• Breeding toggle

💣 4 Built-In Bomb Types

Each bomb has its own war item, cost, cooldown, and fuse settings:

📦 Ammo GUI System

• Load your ghast with TNT and Fire Charges with a GUI
• Configurable allowed items
• Pilot-only access option — no random passengers stealing your stash
• Live title support with MiniMessage-style colors

🔧 Vanilla Bombing Mode

Want a more vanilla-friendly feel? Enable Vanilla Bombing:

• Ghast has no ammo inventory
• Right-click with TNT → drops primed TNT
• Right-click with Fire Charge → shoots a fireball
• Both use the player’s own inventory with configurable cooldowns

⚡ Custom Bombs (Console Commands)

create unlimited custom bomb types that execute console commands using placeholders like {player}, {uuid}, {world}, {x}, {y}, {z}.

Commands:

Just /liveghast reload
