Thoughts on MC LIVE and the Happy Ghast?mic_off
I saw the new reveal of the happy ghast and instantly got reminded of the uneasy alliance achievement where you release a ghast into the overworld. This new ghast reveal is related to the lore (and the fact how ghasts just spat out retextered snowballs.) Kinda ties together with the fact how the happy ghasts will be used with how ghasts in the nether were used for before they got ‘stuck?’ I think its cool
And as a builder tbh I love that now instead of worrying about using elytras we will get the ghasts now, and they’re seen being able to hold a player up in position, so FINALLY high up builds can be easier, especially the fact elytras are tedious to use.
Also they’re just cute man, idk what else to tell you, valid feature, fire.I don’t get the hate, the goggles sure they seem silly but tbh I like silly. I mostly just see people complain about the textures, and how it looks like a bedrock addon.

Not bad
Good great best update.
twas unnecessary, but a neat addition
Not unnecessary for me since I’m a builder mainly so any builders will just love it tbh.
i loved mclive also the new sky transportation method looks like so much fun
Yea definitely friendly for people who have no interest beating the game for simply an elytra. But also an additional to just new building method.
I think the new mob is real cute, I like that it will make building high up in the sky much easier, and it could all start making sky bases more accessible and popular!
Oh definitely, especially floating islands I was planning, now we can with ease add detail to the bottoms of our builds n such that an elytra wouldnt help withh.
ok for now but if they make it able to fire snowballs than it will be better
If they add that and maybe make the happy ghast not as killable as the normal one, I see the hghast being used for pvp.
I think it's overhated tbh
I see a lot of good points like complaints about the hghasts textures, the fact they added foot rests to the saddle which wouldnt be used by anyone cause of their SIZE, and the goggles having no logic. But overall it does have a useful mechanic, good for early-game.
I love it
As a pack developer, this is a new wave for entity pack making
Pack developing aside, yeah, the happy ghasts are awesome, good for my survival base that is pretty anti-elytra. For the servers, i may keep using elytra for my own safety
Good for smp and single player survival world, not enjoyable for servers

I just hate it. Usually I'm mixed on features, but I just hate it in all reguards.
Textures look like they belong in create...
the feature is basically creative flight in survival (for just breaking one block in the nether)...
The design is just so lazy and out of place...
I cannot find anything positive to say about this; it's like Orespawn in vanilla minecraft with create-mod like textures.

Makes sense, heard people saying it looks like a mod, there is room fore improvement, the question is if they will even THINK of it, i doubt mojang will actually fix the ghast texture, especially that cap or whatevers on it. If not hopefully there will be texturepacks that simplify it maybe.
If it was just the texture it'd be just another jappa-tuesday, but it's just so incredibly broken as a feature that I'd rather the whole thing just get scrapped (besides the baby one, because it's fine I guess).
How is it ‘broken’its an early game alternative to elytras, focusing on stability rather than speed.
How is it an early game alternative to elytras?
It moves fast (look at minecon live), requires zero fuel, has zero durability, and allows for creative flight (you can even park them and walk on top of them).
In no way is this an early-game item; this is an end-game and it will largely replace elytras if it works how mojang has shown. The singular advantage elytra has is speed (the ghast isn't even slow), but thats not really necessary unless you're going to a woodland mansion or something super far away.

It’s actually not that fast as I watched in the live, compared to elytras, using fireworks while using an elytra you can go extremely fast, and its better in pvp situations to not be shot down as easy. It’s not end game, it doesn’t take that long to get into the nether.
Its just an alternative and players have preferences, i never understood the fuss about that.

we think the design looks good and funny, but not everyone likes the same things
"good and funny" have literally nothing to do with anything I said. I never said it looks bad and unfunny.
Pigs look funny, but they still fit into minecraft.
HOME's discography is good, but it does not fit into minecraft.
In short, your criteria is not good.

elytra is dead and happy ghast killed it.
fr though i think it will be a very very good addition.. also the harness can be all dye colors so thats cool! i do hope they add more than just happy ghast though.

elytra is still faster, but happy ghast is temu creative mode
elytras are so much faster than happy ghasts, I would probably just use the ghasts for building and not for transportation
I never use elytras personally, that chestplate is just too valuable for me, so thats why i already prefer the ghasts
"elytra is dead and happy ghast killed it."
No info seems to be out on happy ghast [casper] speed or manuverability, which may keep elytra useful for exploration and hunting/combat.
There also doesn't appear to be much on casper behavior (such as what happens if it is attacked by either player or hostile mob).
If caspers are sufficiently hard to get and fragile, using them may be at least somewhat constrained.
Another advantage elytra has over caspers (and other mounts) is that one can tuck an elytra in inventory (or just wear it) rather han having to 'park' one's mount.
(Ome inherent difficulty with mounts is that if one goes from A to B and parks the mount at B, then proceeds to travel to C, the mount is not available to travel back to A unless one first returns to B. aka why I make limited use of horses.)

Yea they did say there will be multiple drops, hopefully theres some secret features they will add that they didn’t want to spoil to us.
You think they'll add drops to the h-ghast, but none of the other passive mobs over the past few years? I doubt it.
First I've heard of this…
Looking at the photo that seems to be part of the press kit q.v. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/minecrafts-happy-ghasts-add-new-flying-mechanic-to-game/1100-6530284/ my first impression (rendered kid fireindly) is Ugh! more kidification/infantilization.
The skin is just horribly '70's Saturday morning kitsch (barring trademark issues they ought to have named the thing Casper)
[Fortunately (at least for java) that aspect is readily fixable.]
Mechanically it looks like another rare non-renewable block intended to give special abilities has been added. [Bad for a number of game design philosophy reasons on which YMMV]
The intent seems to be to make 'survival creative' play even more available to casual/new/young players with a mobile, stable, work platform that can be obtained with minimal risk/effort.
[Notes to modders:
having the dried ghast rehydrate into a ghast would be an interesting alternative way of getting a ghast into the overworld — not that this is overly hard.
getting the mobile stable platform, however would be less of a 'gimme' if any ghast could be converted by submersion in water for some time
(nothingis said about the end, but rehydrating / 'taming' one of these in the end would be of obvious utility — probably far too much utility unless some constraints are placed on the builder-platform-critter)]
(Something that is not mentioned is if there is a way to place an initial block for a floating build. Hopefully this is not posssible; or at least not simple/easy.)
EDIT: Just saw a vid where the [trial???] recipe for the 'harness' is shown :
L L L L=Leather, G=Glass Block [clear shown], W= Wool Block [Dark Blue shown, other sources indiacte any will work]
G W G
_ _ _ _= Space/Not used
(Seems awefully cheap, suggesting there won't be an attempy to use 'harness' cost as a limitation on caspers)

I was holding out hope the saddle recipe cost an elytra or something... minecraft is cooked
Yeah, somewhere casper needs a downside (at least as much as having to give up one's chestplate to equip elytra)
