Happy Ghast Tiers

TL:DR - [Gallery](./happy-ghast-tiers/gallery) ### Happy Ghast Tiers Expands Minecraft’s Happy Ghasts with a fully upgradeable harness system, allowing players to give their Happy Ghasts a much-needed speed boost in a way that feels natural to vanilla gameplay. Harnesses can be upgraded through multiple tiers(~~Vanilla~~Leather, Copper, Iron, Gold, Diamond, and Netherite), with each tier providing a small but noticeable increase to flying speed. Upgrades can be applied sequentially, or players may craft Reinforced Upgrades to skip directly to a desired tier. Players craft the initial harness just like in vanilla. Players can even still dye vanilla harnesses like normal, but once a vanilla harness is upgraded, its color becomes locked to prevent Minecraft from accidentally overriding the custom NBT data of upgraded harnesses. Every future upgrade automatically preserves harness color. Netherite-tier harnesses & upgrades are fireproof, behaving like vanilla Netherite items when dropped into lava or fire. ------------------- ### **Other features:** - Happy Ghasts with no rider will be slowed automatically to default speeds - Happy Ghast Treats can be crafted with snowballs and blaze powder - Treats provide a temporary boost just like rockets do for the elytra ------------------- ### **Planned Update:** - Custom Enchantment granting a 5% flying speed bonus per level (I–III) _This enchantment is planned for a future release. It has been intentionally delayed while the core Minecraft mechanics remain experimental and subject to refinement. Once added to the base game, I'll be adding a custom enchantment for the harnesses_ ------------------- ### **Stretch Goals:** - Add the ability to dye upgraded tiers from one color to another - Add an in-game Admin config to toggle if Harnesses are chest loot instead of craftable - Add an in-game Admin config that allows for custom tier speeds - Add more variants and 3D model harnesses (a texture pack rework.
