A '''happy ghast''' is a [[passive mob|passive]] variant of [[ghast]]s which can be [[harness]]ed and [[Riding|ridden]] by up to four [[player]]s at once as a flying mount. It can only be encountered if a ghastling grows into a happy ghast.

A '''ghastling''' is a younger version of happy ghasts. It can only be encountered by submerging a [[Dried Ghast|dried ghast]] in [[water]] and waiting for it to grow. It cannot be harnessed or ridden, and will grow into a happy ghast over time. Feeding it [[snowball]]s will accelerate its growth.

== Behavior ==
== Behavior ==
=== Home location ===
Happy ghasts and ghastlings are bound to a home, which is initially defined as the location where they spawn. However, this is further redefined whenever certain events occur:
* When a [[harness]] is placed on or removed from them.
* When they are [[leash|unleashed]].
* When they are [[riding|dismounted]].
* When they are no longer tempted by a snowball, a harness, or a mob.

Harnessed happy ghasts and ghastlings roam within a 32-block radius of their home, while unharnessed happy ghasts roam within a 64-block radius of their home.

=== Healing ===
When not at full health, happy ghasts and ghastlings regenerate at a rate of {{hp|1|mob=1}} every 30 seconds. However, if they are between [[Altitude|Y-levels]] 187 and 196 (corresponding to the [[cloud]] level), or if it is [[rain|raining]] or [[Snowfall|snowing]], they regenerate at a rate of {{hp|1|mob=1}} per second.

=== Ghastling ===
=== Ghastling ===
Ghastlings roam close to players or other mobs until they get "bored". They approach and examine non-[[aquatic]] passive mobs and some [[neutral]] mobs (mainly [[animal]]s).
Ghastlings roam and occasionally follow nearby players or specific mobs within a range of 16 blocks. They move toward their target with a slight speed boost (&times; 1.1) and stop when within 5 blocks. Ghastlings prioritize players but can also follow the following mobs, provided they are not [[baby|babies]]:


{{columns-list|colwidth=10em|
Specifically, after being hydrated/spawned from a [[dried ghast]] they will detect the player closest to it and "imprint" on the player, specifically following that player and occasionally taking breaks to randomly investigate their surroundings. This is essentially the way to "tame" a ghastling.

{{IN|BE}}, ghastlings do not follow targets outside their designated home area.

Ghastlings do not drown under water.


A ghastling eventually turns into a happy ghast after 24000 ticks (20 minutes). This process can be sped up with [[snowball]]s. It takes 10 snowballs for a newly-spawned ghastling to become fully-grown.

Ghastlings do not have a separate [[spawn egg]], as they are the juvenile version of the happy ghast, but they can be spawned using [[command]]s.

Unlike regular [[ghast]]s, they are not immune to fire damage, and cannot shoot [[fireball]]s. Also unlike regular ghasts, they are attacked by [[wither]]s.

Happy ghasts can be ridden by up to four players at once when equipped with a [[harness]]. The harness can be taken off using [[shears]] to retrieve the item.

Players can stand on top of a happy ghast (both harnessed and unharnessed) in the air as if it were a [[solid block]]. It remains still while players are standing on it, making it easier to mount and dismount and to build structures high above the ground. Other entities (such as other mobs and items) also sit on top the stationary happy ghast. Mobs make no attempt to [[pathfind]] when on it. When a player is no longer standing on the ghast, any entities left on it will be flung out and can indirectly cause mobs to fall to their [[death]].

==== Carrying leashed entities ====
[[File:Happy ghast carrying a boat.png|right|thumb|200px|Happy ghast carrying a boat on a leash]]
Happy ghasts can also be used to carry and transport certain entities in the air using [[lead]]s.

The player can attach a leashed [[boat]], [[boat with chest]], or mob too large to fit in boats ([[horse]]s, [[donkey]]s, [[mule]]s, [[camel]]s and [[sniffer]]s) to a harnessed happy ghast.

While the player is [[sneak]]ing and holding an entity's leash, press the {{control|Use}} key on a happy ghast to attach the leashed entity underneath it. This secures the carried entity for safe transport while flying. The leash can be removed later by using [[shear]]s on either the happy ghast or the carried entity, separating them.

A happy ghast is a passive counterpart of ghasts which can be harnessed and ridden by up to four players at once as a flying mount. It can only be encountered if a ghastling grows into a happy ghast.

A ghastling is a younger version of happy ghasts. It can only be encountered by submerging a dried ghast in water and waiting for it to grow. It cannot be harnessed or ridden, and grows into a happy ghast over time. Feeding it snowballs accelerates its growth.

These mobs were revealed at Minecraft LIVE – March 2025, and are planned to be added to the game with the Summer Drop 2025 in June 2025.[1]

Spawning[edit | edit source]

Neither happy ghasts nor ghastlings spawn naturally.

A ghastling spawns when a dried ghast is waterlogged[2] for 20 minutes.[3] A happy ghast spawns when a ghastling grows up.

Drops[edit | edit source]

Happy ghasts and ghastlings do not drop any items or experience upon death, aside from their equipped harness.

Behavior[edit | edit source]

Home location[edit | edit source]

Happy ghasts and ghastlings are bound to a home, which is initially defined as the location where they spawn. However, this is further redefined whenever certain events occur:

  • When a harness is placed on or removed from them.
  • When they are unleashed.
  • When they are dismounted.
  • When they are no longer tempted by a snowball, a harness, or a mob.

Harnessed happy ghasts and ghastlings roam within a 32-block radius of their home, while unharnessed happy ghasts roam within a 64-block radius of their home.

Healing[edit | edit source]

When not at full health, happy ghasts and ghastlings regenerate at a rate of 1HP♥ every 30 seconds. However, if they are between Y-levels 187 and 196 (corresponding to the cloud level), or if it is raining or snowing, they regenerate at a rate of 1HP♥ per second.

Ghastling[edit | edit source]

Ghastlings roam and occasionally follow nearby players or specific mobs within a range of 16 blocks. They move toward their target with a slight speed boost (× 1.1) and stop when within 5 blocks. Ghastlings prioritize players but can also follow the following mobs, provided they are not babies:

In Bedrock Edition, ghastlings do not follow targets outside their designated home area.

Ghastlings do not drown under water.

A ghastling eventually turns into a happy ghast after 24000 ticks (20 minutes). This process can be sped up with snowballs. It takes 10 in Bedrock Edition or more in Java Edition snowballs for a newly-spawned ghastling to become fully-grown.

Ghastlings do not have a separate spawn egg, as they are the juvenile version of the happy ghast, but they can be spawned using commands.

Happy Ghast[edit | edit source]

Happy ghasts fly around aimlessly and are passive to players and other mobs. Unlike most passive mobs, they do not panic when damaged.

They follow players holding snowballs. They also follow players holding a harness, if they don't have one already equipped. They can also be leashed.

Unlike regular ghasts, they are not immune to fire damage, and cannot shoot fireballs. Also unlike regular ghasts, they are attacked by withers.

Happy ghasts are somewhat unaffected by speed potions.[4][3]

Riding[edit | edit source]

Main article: Riding
A happy ghast being ridden by Steve

Happy ghasts can be ridden by up to four players at once when equipped with a harness. The harness can be taken off using shears to retrieve the item.

The first player that mounts the happy ghast controls it, sitting in the front just above its face. Players that mount after the piloting player sit in a spot on the remaining sides, starting clockwise from the first player. This allows four players in total to ride one happy ghast.

When riding, the player can fly both horizontally and vertically, allowing for more precise movement in the air. While the happy ghast is being ridden, its goggles lower to cover its eyes.

Players can stand on top of a happy ghast (both harnessed and unharnessed) in the air as if it were a solid block. It remains still while players are standing on it, making it easier to mount and dismount and to build structures high above the ground. Other entities (such as other mobs and items) also sit on top the stationary happy ghast. Mobs make no attempt to pathfind when on it. When no player is standing on the ghast, any entities left on it are flung off, which can indirectly cause mobs to fall to their death.

Carrying leashed entities[edit | edit source]

Happy ghast carrying a boat on a leash

Happy ghasts can also be used to carry and transport certain entities in the air using leads.

The player can attach a leashed boat, boat with chest, or mob too large to fit in boats (horses, donkeys, mules, camels and sniffers) to a harnessed happy ghast.

While the player is sneaking and holding an entity's leash, press the Use key on a happy ghast to attach the leashed entity underneath it. This secures the carried entity for safe transport while flying. The leash can be removed later by using shears on either the happy ghast or the carried entity, separating them.

Issues[edit | edit source]

Issues relating to "Happy Ghast" or "Ghastling" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • The first concepts of the happy ghast came from Minecraft Legends concept art of a flying ghast mount.[5]
  • The texture of both happy ghasts and regular ghasts is more detailed than the previous ghast texture. However, it's still not consistent with the core texel size (16/m), using half density as the compromise between two tex.[6]
  • During Minecraft LIVE, Agnes Larsson advised the community to construct designated "ghaststations" at their high-altitude builds, to allow for safe boarding of happy ghasts.
  • In the alt text of an image on a Minecraft.net article, the collective noun for a group of happy ghasts is "a chuckle of happy ghasts".[7]
  • In Java Edition 25w15a, if a happy ghast has a harness and is turned back into a ghastling (by editing NBT data using /data), the harness remains visible and even shrinks to fit the ghastling.
