OH So this guy’s purpose in life is to hang out in a Pokémon Center on Poni Island and tutor one move that only one Pokémon can learn, a Legendary postgame Pokémon from a Hoenn one/four generations ago. And that Pokémon naturally knows that move anyway.

Fuck me, I’m getting a new job. I’ll be standing in a Dunkin Donuts on Staten Island tutoring Spanish. But only if you’re early 19th Venezuelan military leader Simón Bolívar.

A Happy Ghast? Well Now I've Seen Everything.

For as long as I can remember, people been asking for a rideable dragon to hatch from the Ender Dragon egg. But a good creator never does makes what the audience expects, because the audience's expectations are mostly informed by the past, and the creator must plan for the future.

So instead of a dragon, here's a rideable ghast. You know, like those mods that add "happy" versions of hostile mobs? It's like that. And instead of hatching a dragon egg, you have to soak a very thirsty hell squid. Enjoy!

It might seem like a random, quirky feature to some people, but I think the Happy Ghast is the first feature in a while to truly add to the game's progression. We've had new weapons, armor, and ore, but for the first time in a while, this is a new kind of asset that will help us navigate and build. The Happy Ghast will be on the same level as the Elytra as a late game feature everyone will want to have.

And arguably, the Happy Ghast outdoes the Elytra:

First, there's a very involved process to get it: you have to find it in the most dangerous nether biome, then bring it to the overworld to soak in water for a while, and then you raise it like any other pet. Once it grows up, you craft a harness, and then you're set. It's a fun journey just to get it.

It serves as a pet rather than just an item, adding a personal angle to it. The Ghastling is adorable, and the Happy Ghast is a novelty that just...makes veteran Minecraft players happy. You get your own Ghast. That's worth it even before you can fly on it.

The riding looks a lot more precise and smooth than the rapid thrill of the Elytra, and you can build while you're on it! That's arguably the best part - basically Creative Mode flying in survival. It's practically an accessibility feature, and it's a more liberating way to build tall structures in Survival Mode than putting up tons of scaffolding (or in my case, dirt that I'll remove later.)

Lastly, three other people can hitch a ride on your Happy Ghast. It's basically a flying minivan. Everyone will want a ride from the first person in the server to get a Happy Ghast. Your unsettling, pale cube of happy protoplasm will be the envy of the server!

Perhaps this game drop will actually come with an Elytra update to balance out the usefulness of our new friendly phantasm.

It's a really well designed feature, and I'm excited to try it out. I love it when Mojang really zeroes in on what aspects of the gameplay to update based on we play the game. This is one of those new features that really shows off their creative team's strengths.

"Happy Ghast is so dumb, who's this feature even for?" Me, it's for Me. I wanted it, Happy Ghast is great and you're all just mean.
