Improved Happy Ghast
➜ The data pack version of this mod can be found here
Allows players to create a not-wandering, faster, smaller, silenced Happy Ghast, get damage alerts and even summon it back in survival using items.
Makes the Happy Ghast usable again while staying balanced and survival-friendly.
Installation
After adding the data pack/mod to your world or server, you should be able to open the about panel, which is fully controllable with the mouse:
/function improved_happy_ghast:about

Usage
The above-mentioned improvements can be done by right-clicking the Happy Ghast with certain items in the mainhand of the player. As a confirmation, the player will see particles and hear a subtle sound cue. To revert these changes, just repeat the mentioned steps again.
