Changes
The December update introduces Health Upgrades, numerous internal code improvements, and the long-awaited Event Upgrade. In addition to these changes, this update also sets the stage for what is coming next. Another Holiday update is already planned for later in December, bringing seasonal content themed around Christmas and New Year.
Health Upgrades
You can now increase the maximum health of your Happy Ghast. Health Upgrades work the same way as Speed Upgrades and are available across all material tiers.
Health Upgrades:
- Copper Health Upgrade: +1❤︎
- Iron Health Upgrade: +2❤︎
- Gold Health Upgrade: +3❤︎
- Diamond Health Upgrade: +4❤︎
- Netherite Health Upgrade: +6❤︎
- Shiny Health Upgrade: +10❤︎
- ??? Health Upgrade: +20❤︎
Legendary Upgrade Snowballs
Legendary Happy Ghast Upgrade Snowballs represent the long-awaited Event Upgrades. As previously announced, these upgrades cannot be crafted. They can only be obtained during special occasions through specific activities.

Legendary Upgrades:
- Legendary Speed Upgrade: +100%
- Legendary Health Upgrade: +20❤︎
Upgrade Snowballs
A new Potion Upgrade Snowball has been added, along with a rework of an existing crafting recipe.
Regeneration Potion Upgrade
The Regeneration Upgrade grants a regeneration effect to both the player and the Happy Ghast. Notably, the effect remains permanently active on the Happy Ghast, even when the player is not riding it.
Shiny Upgrade Snowballs
The crafting recipes for Shiny Upgrade Snowballs have been updated following the introduction of Health Upgrades. Previously, these recipes used a standard snowball; they now require a matching Netherite Upgrade Snowball depending on the upgrade type.

Future
A second December update is planned to release very soon and will focus on celebrating the holiday season. This update will also introduce the first opportunity to unlock Legendary Upgrade Snowballs. The exact method of obtaining them is intentionally being kept secret. It is strongly recommended to obtain these upgrades when they become available, as the next opportunity may be quite far away.
Development will continue with new updates throughout the coming year. Until then, I wist you a wonderful holiday season!
Projects on Modrinth are automatically available through a Maven repository for use with JVM build tools such as Gradle. To learn more about the Modrinth Maven API, click here.
Note: When available, you should use the creator's maven repo instead as it will have transitive dependency information that the Modrinth Maven API does not. You may also end up with duplicate dependencies if you use a mix of Modrinth and non-Modrinth Maven repositories for your dependencies, because the group identifier will be different when served through the Modrinth Maven API.
