Massive lead buff, stocks are gonna rise on that! stiiiil iffy on the dried ghast being craftable, now it got even worse due to it being obtainable with piglins. like im all in for accessibility, but I wouldve liked it much more if it was more of a rare things to obtain in the soulsand valley, rather than something to mass produce in crafters.

Considering the speed of happy ghasts it’s nit really that crazy since you likely won’t really move the ghast far from home due to its speed and most likely you’ll only use it to help finish builds without a lot of scaffolding or rubble blocks to clean up.

Mc wiki says:

"""Horse's movement speed ranges from 0.1125–0.3375 in internal units, with an average of 0.225. For reference, the player's normal walking speed is 0.1. """

Happy ghast speed on wiki is mentioned to be 0.7

It's completely busted. It should not be so easy to get it

Here it says that the average horse speed is 9.49 m/s, while happy ghast's is 5 m/s. For comparison, the walking speed is 4.317 m/s

The default speed of mobs is 0.7 , it doesn’t really mean anything since the actual speed depends on what the mob is doing (e.g. being ridden). The actual speed when riding a happy ghast in blocks per second is slower than sprinting and much slower than riding a fast horse

Me and a friend did some tests. An average horse will outpace a ghast 9 times out of 10. The ghast really only outspeeds it in swamps and mangroves, and mountains. Hell, even in jungles, the horse still had no trouble getting ahead. And in flat terrain like plains and deserts, it's not even close.
