A dried ghast is a mob-like block revealed at Minecraft LIVE – March 2025 that is planned to be added to the game with the Summer Drop 2025 in June 2025.[1] When soaked in water over time, it turns into a ghastling. It can be found at nether fossils in soul sand valleys or crafted with ghast tears and bone blocks.

Usage

When a dried ghast is soaked in water, it becomes hydrated and green particles appear. Over time, It gradually develops a smiling expression and becomes more brighter in color. After 20 minutes[4], it transforms into a ghastling, which matures over time into a happy ghast.[1] When the water of a waterlogged dried ghast is removed, it slowly reverts back to the original, dried state at the same rate as it hydrates.[4]
