Give It The Beans!

This datapack allows you to give Happy Ghasts a much needed speed boost by
“feeding” them snowballs

How to Use

Download the latest release
and save it to your world’s “datapacks” folder.

Once installed, grab a few stacks of snowballs, and hop on a Happy Ghast. Every
five seconds, the datapack will check if you’re holding a snowball. If you are,
then one snowball will be deducted from your hand and “fed” to the happy ghast,
applying a speed bost for the next five seconds.

For reference, flying level,

• the Happy Ghast’s base speed taps out at about 3.6 m/s
• with the speed boost applied, the Happy Ghast will accelerate to 14.4 m/s
• with _two_ speed boosts applied (taking one snowball from each hand), the Happy Ghast will be capable of reaching 32.5 m/s

Compare this to elytra speeds, where a rocket accelerates the player to ~35 m/s in level flight and where horizontal speeds in excess of 45 m/s are possible during a dive

Uninstalling

To uninstall the datapack, simply remove it from your world.

To be extra safe, you can also run the command:

/function gitb:reset

from the ground / without any snowballs in your hand to make extra special sure
you’ve reset the Happy Bois’ speed attributes.
