SognoDiGhast - by Kaeternn

A simple yet configurable plugin to boost regular and happy ghasts speed.

Installation

This plugin requires Paper.

To install, place this plugin JAR in your server's /plugins folder.

Update

To update this plugin, place the updated JAR in your server's /plugins folder, delete the old one, launch you server so the plugin update the configuration as well. Then you can change settings in the new configuration and use /sdg reload.

Note that the plugin will not overwrite your settings when the configuration is updated.

Configuration

General settings

• debug, add debug messages in console, I don't recommend enabling it if not necessary.
• only_happy_ghast, limit the faster flying speed to happy ghasts.
• only_when_ridden, limit the faster flying speed to ridden happy ghasts, if true it overwrite only_happy_ghast.
• speed_multiplier, ghast's flying speed will be multiplied by this value.

Dimensions settings

Please note that you should not add or remove dimension entries here, if you use custom worlds or custom dimensions please use the worlds settings below. Also note that a ghast is ~3 blocks higher than the player who rides it, so if you set 150, the ghast will likely become faster at 153.

If you want to disable one of these limits, set it to infinity.

• min, minimum height at which the multiplier takes effect.
• max, maximum height at which the multiplier takes effect.

Worlds settings

These settings use world names instead of dimensions; they also override the dimension settings for worlds listed here.

If you want to disable one of these limit, set it to infinity.

• min, minimum height at which the multiplier takes effect.
• max, maximum height at which the multiplier takes effect.

Usage

Just let your players fly away with their faster ghasts.

There are three admin commands too :

• /sdg version tells you which version is installed on your server.
• /sdg reload reload the configuration if you want to update values without restarting the server.
• /sdg menu
  • general open the general configuration UI.
  • dimension [overworld|nether|end] open the specified dimension configuration UI.
  • world [world name] open the specified world configuration UI.

Permissions

• sognodighast.admin give access to /sdg command.

Code efficiency

I'm still learning JAVA and Minecraft plugin development, so my code can be inefficient sometimes, if you spot a problem in my code please feel free to explain it to me.

I used it only to get information about things I didn't know how to implement or for advice on resolving problems I couldn't solve.

I didn't directly use AI‑generated code, documentation, or text.
