Minecraft 1.21.6: Chase the Skies

Yo, Minecraft fans! The Minecraft 1.21.6 update Chase the Skies is a blast for height lovers. Imagine: you’re on a Happy Ghast soaring over clouds with three friends. Cool? Totally! Let’s break down the update, from new mobs to fog.

How to grow a Happy Ghast in Minecraft 1.21.6? Take a Dried Ghast block, put it in water for 20 minutes – spawns a Ghastling. Feed snowballs, and in time, get an adult flying mob for adventures!

New Features: Mobs, Blocks, and Items

Happy Ghast is the star. Not the evil ghast from Nether, but a cute flying transport. Craft Dried Ghast from Soul Sand and tears, soak it – wait for Ghastling. The baby follows players or mobs within 16 blocks.

• Dried Ghast Block: Found in Nether fossils, vibrates on change (frequency 11).
• Ghastling Mob: Tempt with snowballs, grows faster from feeding.
• Happy Ghast: Regens in rain/snow, mount with Harness, up to 4 players.
• Harness Item: Craft 3 leather, 2 glass, 1 wool – 16 colors!
• Locator Bar: HUD for finding friends in multiplayer, hides with invis.

In my opinion, this changes exploring. Remember hijacking cars in GTA? Here, hijack a ghast! Kidding, but flights are epic, like an action movie.

Gameplay Changes in Minecraft 1.21.6

Leash is more stable: recipe with string, link mobs together, cut with shears. Saddles craftable – unlock on first leather. Fog improved: denser in rain, clouds to horizon.
