Client Configuration

This mod is set on the client side, requiring no modifications to the server. Utilize the Mod Menu to fine-tune settings while in-game.

Control Bindings

By default, flight controls mimic regular creative flight, where dismounting necessitates a double-tap of the sneak button. The descend function can be reassigned to re-enable the traditional single-press sneak for dismounting.

Descend Function

A customizable key can be designated to allow descent while riding a Happy Ghast, serving as an alternative to the sneak control when using it for dismounting.

Default = `Unbound` (defaults to Sneak unless specifically disabled)

Profile Toggle

This function permits switching between different preset profiles on a Happy Ghast, enabling quick changes to control setups. For instance, transition between a “Travel” profile designed for speed and convenience and a “Build” profile tailored for detailed and precise movements.

Default = “ ` “ (backtick)

Access Configuration

Launches the client configuration screen directly from the game, negating the need to access the Mod Menu.

Default = `Unbound`

Profile Customization

Profile Name

A user-friendly name for each profile, displayed on-screen during profile transitions.

Default = `Default`

Overall Speed

Establishes a uniform speed for all movements of Happy Ghasts, simultaneously adjusting other speed parameters.

Default = `1.0`

Forward Movement Speed

Determines the speed of Happy Ghasts when advancing (W key). Sprinting boosts speed by an additional 50% up to the maximum limit.

Default = `1.0`

Backward Movement Speed

Adjusts the speed for going in reverse (S key).

Default = `1.0`

Lateral Movement Speed

Sets the pace for sideways movement (A and D keys).

Default = `1.0`

Ascending Speed

Controls the vertical ascent speed (Space Bar).

Default = `1.0`

Descending Speed

Determines the rate of descent (Left Ctrl).

Default = `1.0`

Dynamic Pitch Adjustment

Alters the vertical position of Happy Ghasts based on the player’s upward or downward gaze. Deactivating this setting maintains the Y position unless ascending or descending.

Default = `true`

Fixed Orientation

Anchors the rotation of Happy Ghasts around the player, enhancing precision when stationary and while observing surroundings. Disabling this restores normal rotation relative to the Ghast.

Default = `true`

Fluid Motion

Determines whether movements are smooth or instantaneous while riding. Disabling this results in more exact maneuvers.

Default = `false`

Speed Boost Multiplier

Implements a speed boost when the Sprint key is activated while on a Happy Ghast. A double-tap forward also adds to the speed based on overall Minecraft settings, respecting the server’s maximum speed.

Default = `2.0`

Descend with Sneak

Choose whether the Sneak key is used for descending or if the custom descend key is preferred. If double-tap dismounting is enabled, it should exclusively use the custom binding.

Default = `true`

Double-Tap Dismount

Decide if the Sneak key needs to be double-tapped for dismounting or if a single tap is sufficient for this action.

Default = `true`

Dismount Timing Window

The interval in ticks for a double-tap on the Sneak key to initiate a dismount. Active only when Double-Tap is selected for dismounting.

Default = `5`

Server Capabilities

Configurations can be set on the server side without needing user modifications. The Min/Max Speed can apply to limit player speeds on the client side. If the server-side mod isn’t installed, it defaults to standard Minecraft settings.

Prevent Roaming

This feature stops Happy Ghasts from roaming when not mounted, applicable only if a harness is worn.

Default = `true`

Ghast Size Adjustment

Sets the size ratio for all Happy Ghasts, with 1.0 being the standard size.

Default = `0.75` (equivalent to 3 blocks wide)

Standard Speed Settings

Establishes the default speed for riding Happy Ghasts, applied universally to players not utilizing the client-side mod. Roaming Ghasts also move at a slightly reduced pace.

Default = `1.0`

Minimum Speed Setting

Defines the slowest speed allowed for Happy Ghasts on the client side, overriding any settings that exceed this limit.

Default = `0.0`

Maximum Speed Setting

Establishes the highest speed permitted while riding Happy Ghasts on the client side, overriding configurations that surpass this limit.

Default = `5.0` (five times standard speed)
