Minecraft Players Turn Cute Happy Ghasts Into Deadly Creeper-Dropping Weapons!

by

Summary

  • Happy ghasts in Minecraft can be used for transportation and as mobile weapon platforms.
  • The updated leashing mechanics allow players to connect mobs like creepers to happy ghasts.
  • The feature is currently exclusive to Minecraft’s experimental build, but may be rolled out in full in a 2025 content drop.

A dedicated fan of Minecraft has devised an innovative method to utilize the game’s newly introduced friendly Ghast mobs, thanks to the updated leashing mechanics unveiled in the most recent experimental version. For now, these friendly Ghasts can only be found in Minecraft’s experimental snapshot versions, but players have already found a wide variety of unexpected applications for them.

For the first time unveiled during the Minecraft LIVE event earlier this year, the cheerful ghast mob stands out as something entirely unique in Minecraft’s history. While many players are accustomed to the Nether’s hostile ghasts, as the name implies, the friendly happy ghast is a novel addition that offers more than just a new pet for players’ worlds. This friendly creature not only serves as a charming companion but also provides an innovative means of transportation. To acquire one, players can either craft or collect a dried ghast block from the Nether and transport it back to the Overworld. In the Overworld, the block needs to be submerged in water for several days until it fully absorbs the water and transforms into a baby ghastling. Once fed enough snowballs, the ghastlings will grow up into friendly happy ghasts.

Joyful spectral creatures, referred to as ghasts, can now be saddled and flown like mounts through the game’s skies. Players can utilize this feature creatively, transforming their ghast mounts into mobile construction platforms. A recent update in the game’s experimental version has introduced improved tethering mechanics, allowing a unique tactic to emerge. A player known as SystemNotLoaded online has found a way to weaponize these happy ghasts and use them for an aerial assault on opponents by dropping Minecraft’s notorious mobs, creepers, onto them. By connecting ghasts to multiple creepers kept in boats using the new tethering system, players can unleash a shower of creepers upon their foes simply by shearing the leads while soaring above them.

Minecraft’s Latest Experimental Content is Giving Fans a Lot to Play With

Enthusiasts have been actively exploring the potential of Minecraft’s experimental tethering functions, utilizing it to construct various structures such as high-wire balancing acts and interconnected power towers. Similar to the contented ghost, this novel feature is currently limited to Minecraft’s experimental version, and the timeline for its release to all gamers remains uncertain.

2025 looks promising for us gamers as I reckon the leashing mechanics could be unveiled in one of Minecraft’s upcoming content drops. Fingers crossed, it might just be the June drop that introduces the adored happy ghast officially! Ever since its debut, this little critter has stolen our hearts with its charming design and versatile gameplay potential. Here’s hoping we won’t have to wait much longer to see the mob grace our Minecraft worlds properly!
