Making my own Dried Ghasts, Ghastlings, and Happy Ghasts before anyone else. Fully functional in Vanilla Minecraft
-- CRAFTING RECIPE --
-- DRIED GHASTS --
Unlike in Minecraft LIVE, you have to splash a couple of WATER potions on them in order for them to wake up.
-- GHASTLINGS --
When a Dry Ghast "hatches" it becomes a Ghastling.
You can either feed the Ghastling snowballs, or wait for it to grow!
-- HAPPY GHASTS --
When a Ghastling grows up it transforms into a HAPPY GHAST! You can also ride them, how silly!
MAKE SURE NOT TO SPAWN IN NEXT TO WATER, OR IT MIGHT DIE..
To ride this ghast, equip a saddle on it and right click. It will now go in the direction you are facing.
PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THE GHAST GO DOWN INTO THE FLOOR, OR IT MIGHT ALSO DIE.
Enjoy your Happy Flying!
