How to get, grow and ride a Happy Ghast in Minecraft
You hatch it from a Dried Ghast block, raise the baby, then put a harness on it to fly with up to three friends.
Tested 26.3
A Dried Ghast is a shriveled little ghast that comes back to life as a baby happy ghast when kept in water.
It is made with the Crafting Table from 8 × Ghast Tear and Soul Sand.
What it does
Craft it from eight Ghast Tears around a block of Soul Sand, or get it from piglin bartering. Place it in water, or pour water into it: it rehydrates in several stages over a long while, then a baby happy ghast pops out.
The baby grows into a Happy Ghast, which you can harness and ride through the sky. Out of water, the dried ghast simply stays as a decorative block.
