Latest release on GitHub

Ghast Glide is open source. Its newest release on GitHub is 1.3.0, published on Oct 30, 2026.

Changelog

1.3.0 — 2026-10-30

  • Your ghast really flies to you: when called it climbs to about 20 blocks above the ground,

follows the terrain and glides down a few blocks from you, going over obstacles instead of

through them.

  • Hear it coming: you hear your ghast from wherever you call it, and a message tells you whether

it is on its way, has arrived, is busy or cannot reach you.

  • Choose how far it hears you: set the call distance from 16 to 512 blocks (100 by default).
  • Call it with a goat horn (new option, off by default): any goat horn calls your ghast instead

of the key.

  • Speed from potions (new option, off by default): your ghast flies at vanilla speed until you

splash it with Speed I or Speed II; beacons can count too.

  • New "Wander" leave mode: your ghast roams up to 30 blocks, turning to face where it goes and

staying within reach. It goes back to it after you untie a lead, like every other leave mode.

  • Clearer settings: options are now grouped into sections.

If you play on a server with the mod, update both the client and the server to 1.3.0.

1.2.0 — 2026-10-24

Description from the author on Modrinth

Ghast Glide

This mod is designed to make the Happy Ghast the tool it always should have been: it goes from
barely useful to an essential building tool.

A little bit of creative inside survival, to build comfortably anywhere.

Features

  • Fly like in creative: WASD moves where you look, Space goes up, Sneak goes down, Sprint for

extra speed. Smooth, natural acceleration, and the camera stays steady while you descend.

  • Pass through blocks: your ghast glides through terrain, so you can stay with it comfortably

while building in the air, inside mountains or in tight spaces. Turn it off whenever you want.

  • Glide through mobs and boats: your ghast passes through boats, mobs and other ghasts

without bumping into them or pushing them away (can be turned off).

  • Mine at normal speed: break blocks while riding as fast as standing on the ground, instead

of 5 times slower (can be turned off).

  • Build through your ghast (optional): place blocks where its body is while you ride, so it

never gets in the way when you build looking down.

  • Balanced speed: faster than a vanilla Happy Ghast, but much slower than elytra, so it is a

building tool, not a replacement. Pick a preset (Vanilla, Calm, Recommended, Fast, Creative) or
tune your own.

  • Vanilla controls if you prefer: fly the base-game way (look up or down to climb, Sneak gets

you off) and keep every other feature.

  • Call your ghast: press a key (G by default) and it flies back high above the ground, then

glides down a few blocks from you. Choose how far away it still hears you (100 blocks by default,
up to 512), or call it with any goat horn instead (optional).

  • Hang boats from it: while riding, right-click your ghast with a boat and a lead in your

inventory, and a boat hangs below it to carry friends or mobs.

  • Speed from potions (optional): instead of a preset, your ghast flies at vanilla speed until

you splash it with a Speed potion, and beacons can count too.

  • Leave it how you like: when you get off, it floats around naturally, roams up to 30 blocks

while staying within reach, stays completely still or wanders like vanilla. Your choice.

  • Easy dismount: Left Alt gets you off, since Sneak is used to descend. Every key can be

changed.

  • Clear view while you build: choose how your ghast and its cargo (hanging boats, whoever sits

in them, mobs on its leads) look in first person: Normal, Hidden or Semi-transparent.

  • Simple settings screen with no extra libraries (Mod Menu supported).
  • Lightweight: no noticeable impact on performance.
  • Languages: English, Español (España), Español (México), Português (Brasil), Português (Portugal),

Français, Deutsch, Italiano, Nederlands, Polski, Türkçe, Русский, Українська, 简体中文, 繁體中文,
日本語 and 한국어.

Servers

Install it on both client and server for the full experience. On servers without the mod you still
get the creative-style flight controls, without passing through blocks. Server owners can limit
speed, block pass-through and call distance for players.

Requirements

Minecraft 26.3 · Fabric Loader 0.19.5+ · Fabric API · Java 25. Mod Menu optional.
