The Happy Ghast
Dried Ghast -
Crafted from Bone Blocks and Ghast Tears, or found occasionally in the Soul Sand Valley's of the Nether around fossil structures. You can place these new custom blocks in Water to rehydrate them over the period of 30 real world minutes. As they rehydrate they will expand and change texture, getting happier over time. Once rehydrated, the block will disappear and become a Ghastling.
Ghastling -
Ghastlings will follow the player that placed their initial Dried Ghast block in water, though sometimes will stop to wander about curiously. After another 30 real world minutes they will grow into Happy Ghasts. This process can be sped up by feeding them Snowballs.
Happy Ghast -
When a Ghastling matures, it becomes a Happy Ghast. Happy Ghasts will no longer follow any specific player, but can wear Harnesses that allow players to mount and ride them. When Harnessed you can also stand atop them, allowing you to fight/create/have fun in the skies!
