Happy Ghast Speed Plugin
A Minecraft Paper plugin for version 26.1.2 that allows server administrators to dynamically control the movement speed of the "Happy Ghast" mob across the entire server.
Features
- Global Speed Control: Instantly updates the movement/flying speed of all existing Happy Ghasts in all worlds.
- Automatic Enforcement: Automatically applies the configured speed to any newly spawned Happy Ghasts.
- In-Game Commands: Easy-to-use commands to set, increase, or decrease the speed multiplier dynamically.
- Persistent Configuration: Saves the chosen speed to
config.ymlso it persists across server restarts.
Commands
[!WARNING] Minecraft attribute speeds are very sensitive! The default base speed for most flying mobs is around 0.3.
- Do NOT increase the speed by large whole numbers (e.g., adding
4.0will cause them to fly uncontrollably fast like idiots!).- Use small decimal increments to adjust the speed safely (e.g., increase by
0.05or0.1).
/happyghastspeed <number>- Sets a specific speed for all Happy Ghasts (e.g.,/happyghastspeed 0.4)./happyghastspeed increase <number>- Increases the current speed (e.g.,/happyghastspeed increase 0.1)./happyghastspeed decrease <number>- Decreases the current speed (e.g.,/happyghastspeed decrease 0.05).
Aliases: /hgspeed
Permissions
happyghast.speed- Required to use the/happyghastspeedcommand.
