\n### Happy Ghast Tiers
\nExpands Minecraft\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Netherite-tier harnesses & upgrades are fireproof, behaving like vanilla Netherite items when dropped into lava or fire.<\/p>\n

\n### **Other features:**
\n– Happy Ghasts with no rider will be slowed automatically to default speeds
\n– Happy Ghast Treats can be crafted with snowballs and blaze powder
\n – Treats provide a temporary boost just like rockets do for the elytra<\/p>\n
——————-
\n### **Planned Update:**
\n– Custom Enchantment granting a 5% flying speed bonus per level (I\u2013III)<\/p>\n
_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_<\/p>\n
——————-
\n### **Stretch Goals:**
\n– Add the ability to dye upgraded tiers from one color to another
\n– Add an in-game Admin config to toggle if Harnesses are chest loot instead of craftable
\n– Add an in-game Admin config that allows for custom tier speeds
\n– Add more variants and 3D model harnesses (a texture pack rework. I’m not an artist)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
