Adds Ghastlings and Happy Ghasts from Minecraft Live
(I made this mod in one day btw)
Happy Ghast was announced on Minecraft LIVE they are friendly creatures that are rideable and this mod is a recreation of this what was announced on this Live.
First of all to get Happy Ghast you need to go to Soul Sand Vally in Nether. There you can find Dried Ghast on soul sand or soul soil. after putting him to water you wait and then it turns into mob named Ghastling. After feeding Ghastling with 32 snowballs it grows to Happy Ghast. To ride Happy Ghast you need a Harness that can be crafted with 3 leather (on top), 2 glass blocks (on sides) and one wool (in midle). For now in mod the Harness is only in one color, blue.
Controls: WASD - Movement, SPACE - Fly up, LControl - Fly Down. (Thease are default controls, they can be changed in settings.
When you ride Happy Ghast you can notice that he is very slow. But when you get up from Happy Ghast you can stand on him and he will stand still. Allowing to easy building at heights.
