Introducing the Ghastling: Your New Pet!

The Ghastling is the first new variant that players will come across. This adorable little creature begins its life as a unique Dried Ghast block found in the Soul Sand Valley, often located near Nether fossils. To animate your Ghastling, simply submerge the Dried Ghast block in water for a few days—magically transforming it from an inanimate block to a cheerful, floating friend.

With its friendly appearance characterized by raised eyebrows and a beaming smile, the Ghastling starkly contrasts with its gloomy counterpart. Once transformed, these little companions emit softer sounds and can be fed snowballs, enabling them to grow into the next variant, the Happy Ghast.

Meet the Happy Ghast: Your Loyal Companion in Adventure

The second exciting variant, the Happy Ghast, radiates tranquility and friendliness, moving away from the hostile behavior typical of Nether ghasts. Players who nurture their Ghastlings will enjoy the immediate benefits of a tamed Happy Ghast; this new companion not only enhances gameplay but also offers a unique way to traverse the vast Overworld.

Crafting a Ghast Harness with three leather, two glass blocks, and one wood block will allow players to saddle their Happy Ghast. Impressively, these delightful creatures can carry up to four players at once, making exploration and construction a breeze. Whether you're building towering structures or embarking on a treacherous adventure, the Happy Ghast transforms familiar gameplay into a creative and collaborative experience.

Why These Variants Are Game-Changers

The addition of the Ghastling and Happy Ghast introduces a wealth of new mechanics and opportunities within Minecraft. The Dried Ghast block invites players to engage with the Nether in innovative ways, while the Ghast Harness offers a creative twist to exploration and building.
