Happy Ghasts, Happy Players

No longer will you have to glide in the skies alone, well you can still do that – but now you can party up with your friends on a Happy Ghast. Starting from a Dried Ghast, you hydrate it to spawn a Ghastling. Once fully matured, you get a Happy Ghast! Saddle it up and begin soaring through the skies of Minecraft.

• Locate or craft a Dried Ghast using soul sand and ghast tears
• Hydrate it to summon a Ghastling
• Once fully grown, you get a Happy Ghast that up to 4 players can ride on it via a Harness

 
This is perfect for your Minecraft server! Invite friends and begin trying out the Happy Ghast.

Craftable Saddles?!

Yup, you heard that right. You’re able to craft saddles in Minecraft 1.21.6. This is a massive game changer, as the only way to obtain them is from chests in dungeons or other structures. There’s also an enhanced lead that you can make, used to chain together multiple mobs. This makes getting saddles for your horses or donkeys easier, making transportation more simple.

• Use 3 leather and 1 iron to craft saddles
• Saddles can be removed via shears
• Use only 1 string to make a lead and leash up all the mobs you want

Multiplayer & Music

Another big change for Minecraft is the Player Locator Bar, a tool used to find players on your server. Whether you’re in Bedrock or Java Edition, you will see colored dots on the EXP Bar indicating players nearby you. Additionally, a fresh new soundtrack got dropped in the Chase The Skies Update – the Tears music disc. You can find this as mob drops from Ghasts! Bedrock Edition got five new ambient tracks, adding more atmosphere to the game.

Bedrock’s Visual Overhaul

An exclusive feature only for Bedrock is the Vibrant Visuals, which brings dynamic lighting, shadows, and realistic water reflections. This upgrade dramatically changes the feeling of Minecraft on Bedrock Edition. Whether you’re on the computer or console, you’ll be in awe of what you see in-game. Java Edition will have this feature later on, as stated by Mojang.

Soar Above the Clouds
