About this Mod
Advanced Happy Ghast (Fabric)
Advanced Happy Ghast is a feature-rich expansion that transforms the Happy Ghast into a loyal, progressing companion. Instead of being just a simple mount, your Ghast now gains its own identity, tracks your journeys, and grows more powerful as you train it.
Core Features:
Ownership & Progression
The first player to ride a wild Happy Ghast becomes its permanent Owner. Only the owner can train and upgrade the creature.
- Level 0 → 1: Gain experience simply by traveling distance with your Ghast.
- Level 1 → 2: Feed it 25 Ghast Tears through the upgrade slot to unlock the next stage.
- Level 2 → 3: Offer a Nether Star to reach the pinnacle of Ghast evolution.
Integrated Dashboard (GUI)
No more floating text boxes! Simply press 'E' while riding to open the dedicated Ghast Menu.
- Status Monitor: View the current owner, the Ghast's level, and the total distance you have traveled together.
- Requirement Tracker: Live updates showing exactly what is still needed for the next level-up.
- Upgrade Slot: A specialized slot for level-up materials and (later) ammunition.
Speed & Storage
Leveling up your Ghast provides tangible benefits for your travels:
- Speed Bonuses (Lv 1-3): With every level reached, your Ghast becomes permanently faster, allowing for rapid traversal of the world.
- Inventory Expansion (Lv 2-3): Starting at Level 2, your Ghast unlocks internal storage rows. Level 3 provides the maximum capacity.
All items and statistics are safely stored via NBT and persist through world restarts.
