Improved Happy Ghast

➜ The mod version of this data pack can be found here

Allows players to create a not-wandering, faster, smaller, silenced Happy Ghast, get damage alerts and even summon it back in survival using items.

Makes the Happy Ghast usable again while staying balanced and survival-friendly.

Installation

After adding the data pack/mod to your world or server, you should be able to open the about panel, which is fully controllable with the mouse:

/function improved_happy_ghast:about

Usage

The above-mentioned improvements can be done by right-clicking the Happy Ghast with certain items in the mainhand of the player. As a confirmation, the player will see particles and hear a subtle sound cue. To revert these changes, just repeat the mentioned steps again.
