Summary
One helpful and easy-to-replicateMinecraftbuild shared by a fan online provides a safe place for players to dock their happy ghast companions when not riding them through the skies of their worlds. Happy ghasts are among the most recent content additions confirmed to be coming toMinecraftlater this year, and while the new mob won’t officially be coming to the game until this year’s Summer content drop, players can check them out right now in the game’s latest snapshot version.
Revealedduring Minecraft LIVE 2025, happy ghasts are a new mob who will be getting an entire content drop all to themselves. Befriending one of these friendly ghasts will first require players to seek out and collect a newMinecraftblock found naturally in the Nether - the dried ghast block. Players will alternatively be able to craft the block using a bone block and ghast tears collected from the Nether. Once brought back to the Overworld, the dried ghast can be submerged in water, where it will hydrate over the course of several days and become an adorable, hydrated ghastling. Ghastlings can then be fed with snowballs to grow up into adult happy ghasts.
Minecraft’s happy ghastscan even be equipped with saddles, affording players a new form of airborne travel. A fan going by the name N00bMaster69 has discovered their own solution to the small logistical issue of keeping happy ghasts reliably in one place, so that they can be easily accessed by players. This easily constructed solution functions pretty much as a ghast garage, and is built from nothing more than regular blocks and wall components, although the walls could likely be replaced by fences if needed. When a happy ghast is “parked” within the arrangement of blocks and wall partitions, the mob stays completely still, likely as the result of a pathing bug which may occur due to the enclosed space and peculiar wall collision boxes.
This “Ghast Garage” Makes For a Useful Extension to Any Base
The build doesn’t involve any boats or minecarts, which ordinarily present the go-to methods of trappingany ofMinecraftmobs. According to the creator of this design, the configuration completely prevents happy ghasts from moving or turning, presenting the ideal place to store happy ghasts as well as a spot to mount them from. The designer even provided a neat example of how this feature can be integrated into houses and bases.
The happy ghast was quickly met with a ton of anticipation from fans, with some in the community discussing ways that Mojang could potentiallybuild upon the idea ofMinecraft’s happy ghasts, and many others even expressing their appreciation for the adorable ghastlings via artwork of their own. Aside from their friendly faces, fans are excited to use happy ghasts as mobile platforms that will help them work on large-scale builds in survival mode.
