Happy Ghast: Upgrade Snowballs

The November update delivers one of the most requested features: a dedicated screen that finally allows players to view all available upgrades in a clear and organized way. Alongside this addition, the Aurion upgrade receives a new name and texture rework. The mod’s main icon also returns to its classic look and once again features the Diamond Speed Upgrade. To round off the update, several new upgrades have been introduced as well.

Upgrade Screen

From now on, an upgrade screen can be opened with the H key (rebindable). It shows which upgrades have already been granted and which are still missing, and it displays this information for the specific Happy Ghast the player is currently riding. The menu is divided into three sections:

• Speed Upgrades
• Potion Effects
• Siege Tactics

And all upgrades are sorted into their respective category.

Presentation

The main logo of the mod reverts from the Gold Upgrade back to the Diamond Upgrade. This change affects both the in-game mod icon and the icon of the inventory tab.

Upgrade Snowballs

Several of the upgrade snowballs have been reworked:

Aurion Upgrade Snowball

The Happy Ghast Aurion Speed Upgrade has been renamed to the Shiny Happy Ghast Speed Upgrade. Along with the new name, it receives a full texture rework and an updated crafting recipe. It also provides a slightly stronger speed boost than before.

Siege Upgrade Snowball

The former Siege Upgrade Snowball has been split into two new upgrade snowballs:

• TNT Upgrade Snowball – This is the new Siege Upgrade and retains the original functionality without any changes. However, its texture and crafting recipe have been updated.
• Fire Charge Upgrade Snowball – This new variant allows the player to launch dropped fire charges in the direction they are looking.

Fire Resistance Upgrade Snowball

The new Fire Resistance Upgrade Snowball grants the Fire Resistance effect to both the player and the Happy Ghast while riding.

Balance Changes

Several existing upgrades have also received improvements with this update:

• Netherite Speed Upgrade: 50% -> 60%
• Shiny (Aurion) Speed Upgrade: 70% -> 80%

Crafting Recipes

Some crafting recipes have also been updated or newly added:

Future

A special Event Upgrade is planned for the next update. It will only be obtainable during specific times or events. Not much more is finalized yet, but many additional features are already in development. Let's see what it becomes! The next update is scheduled for December, which means Christmas might offer the first opportunity to obtain the Event Upgrade.

Support for versions 1.21.6–1.21.8 will continue to be maintained as best as possible, although full compatibility cannot be guaranteed.
