Happy Ghast Scaffolding

by cristata · on Modrinth

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21.6–1.21.8 · Data pack⬇ Download for 1.21.6–1.21.8 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.21.6–1.21.8 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.21.6–1.21.8 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.6–1.21.8 · Quilt
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.
Happy Ghast Scaffolding — screenshot 1

If a happy ghast has a player standing on their back, they will move to align themself with the coordinate grid. Once they do, right click an empty space next to the ghast in order to place a block from either your mainhand or your offhand. Since happy ghasts are exactly 4 blocks across, there's a total of 16 spaces wherein you can place a block.

While in survival or adventure mode, placing blocks will remove them from your inventory. If you're in creative mode, your inventory will be unaffected.


Compatibility:

This datapack supports both vanilla and modded blocks, however, the item ID and the block ID have to match. For example, a water bucket won't place a water block since its item ID is "minecraft:water_bucket" instead of "minecraft:water".

Sounds:

When placing blocks, the sound played won't correspond to the block type. Instead, it will always use the sound for placing scaffolding. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a good way to connect the sound played to the type of block placed.

If preferred, you can use "/function hgs:toggle_sound" to disable the scaffolding sounds.
