"And when the coast was clear, I peered out from behind the carcass. 50 metres away I saw something I had never seen before. It was very small and was grey in colour, unmoving. Checking for mobs, I quietly traversed the soul sand towards this strange item. When I reached it, I drew in a sharp breath - it was a ghast. At least, that's what it looked like. It was very small, no more than half a metre tall, and it's skin was dry and cracked. I lay my hands on it to check for any signs of life, and found the faintest of heartbeats. It was only then that I realised my trousers were damp where I had been kneeling, and I saw that this baby ghast-like creature was sat on a patch of damp sand. I frowned, for there was no water in the nether. Suddenly, I noticed something from the corner of my eye. It was a ghast. Fully grown. Hostile. Though, maybe not. This one was crying, tears falling to the ground around it. Curiosity taking hold, I rummaged through my backpack to find a small leather pouch. I stood up and headed towards the ghast, warily. It seemed unbothered and as it continued to cry I held out the pouch and the tears accumulated at the bottom. When the pouch was almost full, I hurried towards the baby, and gently poured the ghasts tears onto it. They were soaked up instantly, like the baby ghast - ghastling? - was a sponge. I looked back towards the other ghast, presumably the ghastlings mother, and she was just hovering, crying still. As gently as I could, I wrapped the ghastling up in a piece of cloth I'd found, and I held it in my arms. It's mother floated towards my crude attempt at a portal, and I knew immediately that she wanted me to save its child - she didn't want it to meet the same fate as the rest of the nether ghasts. I hurried towards the portal, and as I stepped through, the mother floated off over a pool of lava and before I knew it, I was back in the overworld."
I am absolutely not ok. I never thought ghasts could cause me so much emotional turmoil and yet here we are, in the grasp of a very turmoiled collection of emotions.
So anyway I will be making fanart of the happy ghasts I have no choice.
For as long as I can remember, people have been asking for a rideable dragon to hatch from the Ender Dragon egg. But a good creator never does 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:
Who knows, maybe 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 how we play the game. This is one of those new features that really shows off their creative team's strengths.
