Features for Happy Ghasts :
⏫ Increased Flying Speed
The normal flying speed of Happy Ghasts when they have at least a player that controls it is increased by 25%, but not too much to be able to build with it easily.
🏃♂️ Sprint with Happy Ghast and expand the camera distance
If you control a Happy Ghast, you can press your sprint key to sprint with it to fly 45% more faster (combined with the 25% increased normal flying speed) and your 3rd person camera is expanded to allow you to see more things in your field vision.
🪓 Normal Mining Speed
Your mining speed when you are riding a Happy Ghast is the same as when you are not in a vehicle and when you are on the floor, so you don't break blocks slowly like with other vehicles or when you are not in the floor.
📏 Increased Reach on Happy Ghast
When you are on a Happy Ghast, even you are not riding it, your reach is increased to allow you to interact with blocks and entities that are on the floor under the Happy Ghast.
🔼 Increased Safe Fall Distance
When you fall from a Happy Ghast in a height of 5 blocks or less you don't take fall damages, so you have to go down to the floor with the Happy Ghast and dismount to be safe, but if you dismount from more than a height of 5 blocks you will take fall damages.
⚡ Acceleration
You can throw Snowballs items to a Happy Ghast to add 3 more seconds of acceleration per Snowball to it and it is 35% more faster (combined with the 25% normal flying speed and the 45% of sprint)
💖 Tame Happy Ghasts
You can tame Happy Ghasts by throwing to them a Snow Block item, then you unlock the advancement "We'll be happy together for life" (in reference to "Best Friends Forever" and the fact that the Happy Ghast is happy)
📟 Happy Ghast Order Menu
You can open the Happy Ghast Order Menu using the new dialog system with /trigger happy_ghast.
Then you have to select an Happy Ghast by clicking on "Select" to select your tamed Happy Ghast that you are looking at or your nearest tamed Happy Ghast if you are not looking any tamed Happy Ghast.
When you select an Happy Ghast or when you click on "See selected", you can see particles and hear a sound to the Happy Ghast to see wich one is selected.

Optimization :
- The detection of the Happy Ghast order menu to know if it's enabled or not is optimised by using the return command
- Now, not all entities, but only mobs and players can be ejected from a Happy Ghast if it is locked

Have something to say?
Have you loaded the Datapack ?
All the files and folder of you Datapack is in a folder of the namespace name that you want (like the name of your Datapack) that is in the data folder inside the Datapack folder/ZIP, and you have to put the minecraft folder in the data folder and put a tags folder and the functions folder and the tick.json and load.json tag files to set inside your functions tick.mcfunction (that is executed every tick in game) and load.mcfunction (that is executed when you executes /reload command or when you load a world) of your Datapack. Then you put commands in the functions, and use commands like scoreboard, execute, function, tellraw, summon, etc...
But it's better that you watch a video with images to see really how to do Datapacks
And you are maybe on the bad versions
