In contrast to Minecraft’s regular bi-yearly updates which introduce new creatures, the second update in 2025 stands out as exceptional. Let me introduce you to the cheerful ghast. For a change, this ghast isn’t hostile towards you.
Indeed, you’re correct: Although ghasts are infamous for launching fireballs at you, leaving devastation in their wake through the Nether, this novel variant seeks friendship instead. This amiable ghast can appear in various forms, and the process of evolution is determined by the player.
One captivating feature of the joyful specter in Minecraft is its ability to enable players to soar across the overworld. Even if you’re an experienced player who’s been to The End and already zip around with your elytra wings, this might not seem too enticing. But for novice players, the journey of acquiring a joyful specter starts in the Nether – a destination you visit well before venturing into The End. This early access to flight can greatly enhance the gaming experience. Furthermore, up to four individuals can hitch a ride on a single joyful specter, streamlining group expeditions.
Nevertheless, this doesn’t imply that acquiring a flyable, cheerful ghost will be effortless. Instead, there is a series of steps to follow before you can successfully obtain one.
How to procure your own ghost plane
Initially, you’ll discover a compacted Ghast Block in the Nether realm. This minuscule, desiccated block resembles its ghostly counterpart and functions as a dehydrated version of it. By mining this block, players can transport it to the Overworld, where the re-hydration process commences.
After returning to the Overworld, immerse the dried block completely in water. You can either drop it into an existing water source or construct a pool for the friendly ghost (ghast) to enjoy. However, patience is required next. As stated by Mojang, it typically takes approximately 20 minutes in real-time for a dehydrated ghast to transform into a ghastling. During our testing of this new game mechanic at the developer’s studio in Sweden, we noticed that the duration could slightly differ. When you place multiple dried ghast blocks simultaneously, it’s uncertain which one will change first.
As the procedure progresses, you’ll observe the alterations unfold. Similar to regular Ghasts, the dried Ghast blocks initially appear disgruntled. But as they gradually absorb moisture, the frown transforms into a smile. And voila! A joyful Ghastling emerges.
Essentially, a Mini Happy Ghast is like a smaller form of the regular Happy Ghast that cannot fly. Over time, it naturally grows into its full size. But if you’re eager to progress quickly, you can hasten its development by feeding it snowballs instead.
As a thrilled fan, I can’t wait until my ghastling matures enough to take flight! Of course, before we soar, I’ll need a harness to securely fasten myself. These are fashioned from materials like glass, leather, and wool blocks. Interestingly, the design of the saddle can be customized according to the color of wool you choose for crafting. I must admit, the vibrant and eye-catching harness for the cheerful ghast is more aesthetically pleasing than any saddle the game has presented so far. Below, check out the stunning mod in all its splendor, complete with flying goggles!
As a gamer, I hop on the back of this friendly floating creature, much like mounting a horse in other games. Interestingly, up to four of us can ride this cheerful Ghast at once, with the lead player steering our direction. It might not be as swift as soaring with Elytra, but the scenic journey is worth it, and we don’t burn through our rockets like crazy.
And luckily, group trips aren’t all the happy ghast is useful for.
Building in the sky
The greatest advantage of the cheerful ghost is its ability to facilitate effortless sky-building. When you reach your desired sky location for construction, detach from the harness and you’ll find yourself comfortably standing on the ghost, fully prepared to build. In essence, think of the ghost as a portable scaffold, keeping you elevated during your building endeavors in the sky.
An innovative application for certain users involves incorporating friendly Ghasts into any parkour course designs. These Ghasts can be tethered to prevent them from straying, and moreover, they can be attached to minecarts, transforming them into movable platforms that can be customized to function like large stepping stones on rails.
As I’ve spent some time dabbling with this game during the preview, here are the functions I managed to discover. However, there’s no doubt that this cheerful specter has many more hidden talents waiting to be unleashed in your gaming world!
At this moment, we don’t have an announced launch date for the second video game release scheduled for 2025. Noteworthy additions to this update include the “Happy Ghast” and the convenient “Player Locator Bar,” which enables you to effortlessly find other players within your gaming universe.
Regarding the initial game release of 2025 from Minecraft, unveiled at Minecraft Live, we can expect new types of animal variants and plant blocks. For those who crave even more Minecraft content, there’s also material tied to The Minecraft Movie, and let’s not forget about the Vibrant Visuals update.
