DatapacksJava
Happy Ghasts
Java data pack listed for Minecraft 1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
Experience the Happy Ghast early!
With the power of datapacks, you can use the Dried Ghast, Ghastling, and Happy Ghast in vanilla minecraft before any snapshots have even been released.
Find the Dried Ghast in Soul Sand Valleys...
Rehydrate them in the Overworld so they become a peaceful Ghastling...
And feed them their favorite food until you get a ridable Happy Ghast!!
(Plus, tons of custom items)
