Happy Ghasts wearing a Cargo Harness get their own storage.
If the harness is removed, the stored items spill out.

Where To Install

Happy Ghast Controls uses the same file for servers, clients, and singleplayer.

| Install location | What you get |
| —————- | ———————————————————————————————— |
| Server | Happy Ghast storage, Cargo Harness crafting, speed settings, permissions, and update notices. |
| Client | Riding controls, Cargo Harness texture, clearer visuals, and the inventory-key storage shortcut. |
| Singleplayer | Both server and client features. |

Permissions are always checked by the server. Installing the mod on your client does not bypass server permissions.
