About this Mod
Intoduction:
Don't you hate constantly having to chase your Happy Ghast around when you're refining your builds or just hopping off to interact with something really quick?
I know I hate it, so I created this Mod / Datapack.
By equipping the Happy Ghast with a Harness with the name "STOP" these annoyances do not need to be worried about any longer.
It instantly stops roaming around and always stays put in the place where you left it.
And when you're done with your task, or you need simple transportation, you can hop back on your Happy Ghast and fly away.
This feature even persists through dimension changes and chunk unloading.
How to:
- Rename a harness of any color to "STOP" (Uppercase is important)
- Put the renamed Harness on your Happy Ghast.
How to Undo:
- Simply remove the Harness with shears (normal game mechanic)
Known Issues:
- On Quilt it doesn't install the Fabric API automatically because it's tagged only as "Fabric" but it is needed in order to work.
Current workaround is installing Fabric API manually or installing a mod that comes with it like Sodium.
