Minecraft's Happy Ghasts Add New Flying Mechanic To Game
Minecraft Game Drop 2 of 2025 brings your new favorite mob, a ghast that doesn't want to kill you
From there, simply attach yourself to the ghast like you would a horse and take to the skies. As mentioned before, up to four players can ride the happy ghast simultaneously, with the user at the front controlling direction. You don't fly as quickly as you would with a set of elytra, but it's a scenic ride that doesn't waste tons of rockets.
And luckily, group trips aren't all the happy ghast is useful for.
Building in the sky
The most useful thing the happy ghast does is allow you to easily construct things in the sky. Once you get to a point in the sky you want to build, disengage yourself from the harness and you'll simply be standing on top of the ghast, ready to build. Imagine the top of the ghast basically being scaffolding that you can stand on to keep you elevated for building purposes.
Another excellent use for some players is going to be the ability to use happy ghasts as part of any parkour course builds. Not only can they be leashed to keep them from wandering away, but they can also be mounted on minecarts, making them moving platforms you can configure to basically be large stepping stones.
These are just the uses we were able to glean from a limited time playing the preview. There will surely be several other ways the happy ghast can be put to work in your realm.
There is currently no official release date for the second game drop of 2025. In addition to the happy ghast, the drop will also include the player locator bar, which allows you to easily track down others in your realm.
As for Minecraft's first game drop of 2025, which was also revealed during Minecraft Live, we are getting new animal variants and plant blocks. And if that's still not enough Minecraft for you, there's also the content being released connected to A Minecraft Movie and, of course, the Vibrant Visuals update.
