Happy Ghast harnesses have been fully re-modeled & re-textured \u2014 they’re much more detailed and much less _ghastly_ now!<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Design Info<\/p>\n
– The harness\/saddle has been redesigned with a larger focus on practicality. This includes details such as…
\n – Straps & buckles to keep the harness in place,
\n – Built-in ladders for easier mounting & dismounting,
\n – A proper place for the jockey\/rider(s) to sit,
\n – And more!<\/p>\n
– Inspiration for the design was also taken from aviator hats. They already have the goggles \u2014 they may as well complete the look.<\/p>\n
– Aside from the updated design, the model itself is more intricate, having proper 3D depth instead of only using flat textures. With the ghast being as large as a 4 block cube, the completely flat harness used in vanilla looks really out of place to me. At that scale, surely there should be some depth, right? Even carpets aren’t _that_ flat!<\/p>\n
– No z-fighting or any weird clipping.<\/p>\n
– All 16 color variants are included.<\/p>\n
– The inventory icons have been updated to match the new harness design.<\/p>\n
– It’s not just the harnesses themselves that have been reworked! The ropes which appear on a Happy Ghast while it’s carrying a boat or a large creature have also been retextured. Their new design is primarily based on the netting of vintage hot air balloons.<\/p>\n
NOTE: As of 1.21.7, most of the ropes’ texture cannot be seen during normal gameplay since it will always covered by a harness.<\/p>\n

## Known Issues
\n– None!<\/p>\n
_Ghasts appearing to shrink slightly when a harness is equipped is fully vanilla behavior. This is not caused by nor affected by this resource pack._<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
