Happy ghasts are slow; This datapack makes them faster. A new treasure enchantment, Aerodynamic, can be applied to any harness to increase a happy ghast’s flying speed! The enchantment is only in effect while you’re actually riding the happy ghast, so there is the benefit of the speed boost while avoiding the nuisance of trying to mount a fast-moving happy ghast in the air!

Features

• New enchantment to make happy ghasts faster only while riding them
• Configurable multiplier to change how much happy ghasts speed up while being ridden
• New advancement: Supersonic

Details

The Aerodynamic enchantment ranges from levels 1 to 3 and can only be applied to harnesses by an enchanted book via an anvil. To obtain an enchanted book, they can be found in bastion treasure chests, trial chamber vaults as rare loot, or they can be traded with a librarian villager.

A happy ghast’s flying speed follows this formula: (50 + mn)/1000 where n is the aerodynamic level, m is a configurable multiplier which is 20 by default, and 50 represents the base flying speed attribute value of happy ghasts scaled up by 1000x. To configure the multiplier, use the following command (Set the multiplier to your desired value multiplied by 10, e.g. a multiplier of 20 is effectively a 2x multiplier whereas a multiplier of 15 is effectively a 1.5x multiplier):

/scoreboard players set #tbg.config tbg.multiplier <integer>

To disable or enable the datapack without using the vanilla /datapack command, run the following command:

/function tbg:tbg/disable or /function tbg:tbg/enable

To remove this datapack from a world, run the following command before removing it from the datapack folder:

/function tbg:tbg/uninstall

Compatibility

• Versions Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.9-26.1.x
• Datapacks that modify the same loot tables (i.e. bastion treasure chests and rare trial chamber vault loot) have a high chance to overwrite this datapack’s loot tables, so the only vanilla method of obtaining aerodynamic enchanted books that would remain is through librarian villagers
• Datapacks that modify happy ghast’s flying speed attribute will be compatible since this datapack applies a modifier to the attribute that adds onto it rather than modifying the base attribute directly
• All other datapacks that don’t fall into either of the above two categories are compatible
