The May update introduces four new upgrades alongside the Happy Ghast Shop, a completely new system for unlocking Upgrade Snowballs. ## Dried Ghast Shop The Dried Ghast Shop offers three daily Upgrade Snowballs. The first two deals are always normal upgrades, while the third has a chance to become legendary. The shop refreshes every day at 9:00. Legendary offers may require two items instead of one, and selected deals can appear with a 50% discount. <details> <summary>Dried Ghast Shop</summary>   </details> ## Upgrade Snowballs This update also introduces several new Upgrade Snowballs. ### Damage Beam Upgrade The Damage Beam Upgrade fires a continuous Guardian beam at a nearby enemy, dealing constant damage.  ### Legendary Damage Beam Upgrade The Legendary Damage Beam Upgrade expands this effect by targeting all nearby enemies at once, allowing groups of enemies to be defeated much faster.  ### Healing Beam Upgrade The Healing Beam Upgrade fires a beam at a nearby ally, slowly restoring their health over time.  ### Legendary Healing Beam The Legendary Healing Beam Upgrade extends this effect to all nearby allies, allowing multiple entities to be healed at the same time.  ## Handbook / Bugfixes - The Trophy button in the Handbook has been removed and is now accessible through /trophy - An explanation for the Dried Ghast Shop has been added to the Handbook - Dried Ghast Workbenches are now stackable ## Crafting recipes All newly added crafting recipes are listed below: <details> <summary>Crafting recipes</summary>      </details>

The April update reworks Legendary Upgrades from the ground up, including their textures, names, crafting methods, and more. For the first time, Legendary Upgrades can now be fully crafted without any time restrictions. In addition, several new upgrades have been introduced. ## Legendary Upgrade Rework From now on, Legendary Upgrades are no longer time-limited event rewards. They can now be crafted at any time and become a permanent part of gameplay. With the growing number of Legendary Upgrade variants, the previous system no longer scales well. Most players would not be able to access these upgrades in survival, as they were limited to short event periods. Players who previously obtained these upgrades do not lose any value, as their trophies remain stored and continue to exist as exclusive souvenirs. ### Changes: - Updated textures with a new gradient design - Item names now feature a smooth color gradient instead of separate colors ## Dried Ghast Workbench The Dried Ghast Workbench allows normal upgrades to be upgraded into their legendary versions. This is done by combining the base upgrade with an Amethyst Shard.  ## Handbook Crafting recipes in the Handbook now clearly indicate whether they are made in a normal Crafting Table or in the Dried Ghast Workbench. The Speed & Health Upgrades tab has been merged into a single Attribute Upgrades tab to make room for the Workbench explanation. <details> <summary>Handbook</summary>      </details> ## Upgrade Snowballs This update also introduces three new Upgrade Snowballs. ### Frostveil Siege Upgrade The Frostveil Siege Upgrade freezes nearby enemies, preventing them from moving. A blue tint is applied to affected entities.  ### Legendary Frostveil Siege Upgrade The Legendary Frostveil Siege Upgrade increases the radius in which the effect is applied.  ### Legendary Lightning Siege Upgrade The Legendary Lightning Siege Upgrade retains the original effect, striking lightning at the impact location of arrows fired from the Happy Ghast. In addition, it also strikes nearby entities within a small radius.  ## Crafting Recipes All updated or newly added crafting recipes are listed below: <details> <summary>Crafting recipes</summary>      </details> ## Future A future major update will likely introduce a form of shop system, providing another way to obtain Upgrade Snowballs. More details will follow soon. Additional features are also planned as usual. Several new projects have also been released recently and can be checked out if there is interest. Enjoy!

This version completely removes the Bell Flower Event and does not introduce any new features. Development for versions 1.21.9–1.21.11 has been discontinued.

This version completely removes the Bell Flower Event and does not introduce any new features. Development for versions 1.21.9–1.21.11 has been discontinued.

Port for version 26.1. This version does not include the Bell Flower Event.

The Bell Flower update (as a part of the March update) introduces the first event in Happy Ghast: Upgrade Snowballs. During this event, a range of rewards can be unlocked, including a brand new upgrade. ## Bell Flower Event The Bell Flower Event is the first event of 2026 and introduces a range of surprises. The main objective is to fly through the skies with the Happy Ghast to collect the event currency, Bell Flowers, which can then be used to unlock unique rewards. ### Event Introduction <details> <summary>Introduction Screen</summary>  </details> ### Bell Flower Bell Flowers are obtained by flying with the Happy Ghast. For every 300 blocks traveled, one Bell Flower is added to the player’s inventory. By right-clicking the item, it can be redeemed and added to the player’s balance.  ### Rewards <details> <summary>Rewards</summary>  </details> ### Final Reward The final reward of the event is a decorative plant that can be used to enhance your world. As a purely cosmetic item, it is intentionally difficult to obtain and is aimed at dedicated players.  ### Cosmetics During the event, optional particles appear around the Happy Ghast. These can be disabled if desired. ### Duration The event begins on April 3 and ends on April 17. ## Upgrade Snowballs This update also introduces two new Upgrade Snowballs. ### Totem Siege Upgrade The Totem Siege Upgrade functions similar to a Totem of Undying within a large radius around the Happy Ghast. When a player would die, the death is prevented once. In return, the Happy Ghast is sacrificed and will die.  ### Legendary Totem Siege Upgrade The Legendary Totem Siege Upgrade serves a similar purpose. It also prevents player death within a large radius, but unlike the standard version, the Happy Ghast does not die.  ## Crafting Recipes This update does not introduce any new crafting recipes, as they will be added after the event. However, the Handbook can now be crafted using Dirt. ## Tech - The Trophy Screen now supports scrolling when there is not enough space to display all trophies. ## Future The next update is planned to release around mid to late April, likely shortly after the event ends. It will return to the usual format, focusing on permanent features rather than event-based content. Support for version 26.1 will be added very soon. However, the event will not be available in this version. Until then, enjoy the Bell Flower Event.

The March update introduces a new way to reclaim previously available Legendary Upgrades through the trophy system. In addition, a new upgrade has been added that allows enemies to be marked. Looking ahead, a special update is planned to release in the near future. ## Upgrade Reclaims Previously available Legendary Upgrades can now be reclaimed. A new button has been added beneath each trophy in the Trophy menu, allowing the corresponding upgrade from past events to be claimed again. This requires the trophy to be unlocked, meaning the upgrade must have originally been obtained during its event. Reclaims are globally limited and can be used once every 14 days, independent of individual trophies. <details> <summary>Upgrade Reclaims</summary>    </details> ## 🤔🤔🤔  ## Upgrade Snowballs This update also introduces a new Upgrade Snowball. ### Detection Siege Upgrade The Detection Siege Upgrade allows the player to mark nearby entities with the Glowing effect. The player and the Happy Ghast are not affected.  ## Crafting recipes All updated and newly added crafting recipes are listed below: <details> <summary>Crafting recipes</summary>  </details> ## Future In the very near future, a special event update tied to an upcoming holiday will be released. It will include unique rewards and cosmetic effects. As promised, these effects will be fully optional and can be disabled, ensuring that gameplay remains unaffected. As a result of this upcoming event, this update is slightly smaller in scope. A larger update is expected to arrive in April, although this is not yet fully confirmed. Until then, enjoy!

The February update expands existing systems with additional content and improvements. This includes planned extensions for features such as trophies, along with the introduction of new upgrades. ## Trophies Trophies are special achievements earned by obtaining a Legendary Happy Ghast Upgrade during its respective event period. Each trophy grants the player a permanent reward. This new feature can be found in the existing Handbook, where it appears as a small icon beneath the main categories. <details> <summary>Trophies</summary>    </details> Currently, trophies function as cosmetic collectibles... Currently! ## Upgrade Snowballs This update also introduces several new Upgrade Snowballs. ### Jump Boost Potion Upgrade The Jump Boost Potion Upgrade grants the player the Jump Boost effect while being near the Happy Ghast, allowing greater mobility and improved reach across the surrounding area.  ### Legendary Jump Boost Potion Upgrade For the first time, a Potion Upgrade receives a legendary version. In this case, the Jump Boost effect is increased by one additional level (from the normal Level 2 to Level 3). Future Potion Upgrades may feature different legendary variations with their own unique enhancements.  The upgrade can be obtained until March 10th, with a 5% chance to drop when crafting normal Jump Boost Potion Upgrades. ### Lightning Siege Upgrade The Lightning Siege Upgrade causes a lightning strike to hit the location where an arrow fired from the Happy Ghast lands. This turns the Happy Ghast into an even more powerful weapon.  ## Crafting recipes All updated and newly added crafting recipes are listed below: <details> <summary>Crafting recipes</summary>   </details> ## Future This smaller update primarily expands existing features, especially the Handbook. A large amount of new content is already planned, and there is plenty to look forward to. Feedback and bug reports remain highly appreciated. Suggestions and ideas are always welcome through the feedback and bug tracker. Future updates may generally be smaller in scope, as development is no longer focused exclusively on Happy Ghast. A new project has been released, and another existing one is being actively continued. Even so, regular updates and new content will continue to arrive. Until next time.

This update includes an important bug fix reported by the community. ## Bugfixes Due to a bug, it was not possible to craft Upgrade Snowballs when the LimitCrafting gamerule was enabled. This issue has been resolved by unlocking all recipes at the start of the game. Whether and how this temporary solution will be refined in the future has not yet been decided.

This update fixes a few minor issues that affected background processes only and had no impact on gameplay. In addition, one texture has been slightly reworked. ## Legendary Firework Upgrade The texture of the Legendary Firework Upgrade has been slightly improved at the tip of the firework rocket. Previous texture:  Updated texture:  ## Bugfixes Several issues related to an outdated API have been fixed. These changes do not affect gameplay in any way.

The January update, marking the first release of the new year, introduces several new features and brings Happy Ghast: Upgrade Snowballs to a new level of quality. This update adds an in-game handbook that explains the mod and provides all essential information, introduces three new upgrades, and includes a number of bug fixes. ## Feedback (Visual Effects & Firework Kill Bug) A large amount of feedback was received regarding the previous update, especially concerning the visual effects and the fired firework rockets. Unfortunately, these features were not tested thoroughly enough, which resulted in the Happy Ghast being able to take damage and even die from them. An apology is owed for this issue. Based on this feedback, the following conclusions were drawn: 1. From now on, only visual effects will be used that are guaranteed to deal no damage under any circumstances. 2. If visual effects are used again in future events, they will be configurable and can be disabled in the mod’s configuration, ensuring that they are never forced on players. Even though direct replies in the feedback channel are not always possible, all messages are read and taken seriously. Thank you to everyone who regularly shares feedback and suggestions for improvement. As an apology, a _Legendary Firework Upgrade_ will be available throughout the _remainder of January_, with a small chance to _drop when crafting firework rockets_. ## Upgrade Snowball Handbook The new Upgrade Snowball Handbook provides detailed information about the mod’s features. It is divided into multiple categories, explaining topics such as the available upgrades and the upgrade screen. The handbook covers mechanics, crafting recipes, and other relevant details, all presented in a clear and visually polished way. <details> <summary>Upgrade Snowball Handbook</summary>      </details> In the near future, the handbook will receive additional features, such as trophies and more. How these features will work and how they will be implemented will be explained in upcoming updates. As a result, the handbook serves as a foundational system for future development and is far from finished. Feedback and ideas are always welcome and can be shared through the link provided in the mod description. ## Upgrade Snowballs This update also introduces several new Upgrade Snowballs. ### Firework Siege Upgrade The Firework Siege Upgrade allows the player to fire firework rockets at enemies. Its mechanics work the same way as the TNT and Fire Charge Upgrades. What makes this upgrade special is that the strength of the rockets depends on their tier.  ### Legendary Firework Siege Upgrade For the first time, a Siege Upgrade receives a legendary variant: the Legendary Firework Siege Upgrade. This upgrade is special in that it fires two full firework rockets at once with a slight delay, allowing it to deal significantly more impact than the standard version. The upgrade can be obtained _throughout the entire month of January_, with a _0.1% chance_ to drop when _crafting firework rockets_.  ### Invisibility Potion Upgrade The Invisibility Potion Upgrade makes both the Happy Ghast and the player fully invisible as long as at least one player is riding it. Notably, the harness also becomes invisible, ensuring complete concealment. When the vanilla Invisibility effect is applied to the Happy Ghast instead, it remains visible. In addition, no particles are rendered, making the upgrade’s effect entirely invisible.  ### TNT & Fire Charge Upgrade The crafting recipes for the TNT and Fire Charge Upgrades were slightly mixed up. This has been fixed with this update. Further details can be found in the crafting recipe graphics. ## End of Support for Versions 1.21.6–1.21.8 With this update, support for versions 1.21.6–1.21.8 has officially ended. This and all future updates will no longer be available for these versions. The main reason for this decision is the increased development effort required by the new handbook system, which makes maintaining compatibility significantly more complex. Additionally, demand for these versions has noticeably declined over time. All newer versions remain fully supported and are not affected by this change. ## Crafting recipes All updated and newly added crafting recipes are listed below: <details> <summary>Crafting Recipes</summary>      </details> ## Future This update marks a strong start to the new year. A significant amount of new content is already planned, ranging from fundamental improvements to the upgrade system to entirely new types of upgrades. A completely new upgrade category was originally planned for this update as well, but had to be postponed at very short notice for specific reasons. The next update will further expand the handbook and, as usual, introduce new upgrades. Whether this will involve a broader rework of existing systems, the introduction of a new upgrade type, or something entirely different will be revealed later. Once again, feedback and ideas are highly encouraged. Do not hesitate to share suggestions or concepts.

The Holiday Update marks the final update of 2025 and introduces festive content themed around both Christmas and New Year. During the holiday period, the Happy Ghast receives special visual effects. The upgrade screen has also been visually adapted to match the festivities. In addition, valuable holiday gifts can be obtained, offering exclusive rewards tied to the seasonal events. ## Christmas The Happy Ghast will also celebrate Christmas. The following list outlines all events and features available during the Christmas period. - Happy Ghast _Snow Particles_ (December 22–28) - Happy Ghast _Christmas Screen_ (December 23–27) - Christmas Gift: _Legendary Speed Upgrade_ (December 24–26) ## New Year The Happy Ghast will also celebrate the New Year with special events and features. - Happy Ghast Firework Effect (December 30 - January 2) - Happy Ghast New Year Screen (December 30 - January 2) - New Year Gift: Legendary Health Upgrade (December 31 - January 1) --- The Speed Upgrade is unlocked by crafting a Snow Block during the event period, while the Health Upgrade becomes available through crafting a Firework Rocket in its respective timeframe. ## Thank you! Happy Ghast: Upgrade Snowballs started as a small side project that was created in a single evening. After its unexpectedly growing success, the mod continued to evolve step by step. At the time of its release, my only active project was the Chroma Mod, which was originally intended to be my main focus. However, once Happy Ghast: Upgrade Snowballs managed to surpass Chroma’s popularity , it became clear that this project truly had potential. That view has not changed. The mod will continue to receive regular updates throughout 2026 and will be improved further over time. Many exciting new features are already planned for the coming year. New projects are also planned, though nothing more will be revealed here for now. If necessary, "_Tarry_" might know more ;D Until then, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a great start into the New Year! ❤️

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. ## Crafting Recipes <details> <summary>Crafting Recipes</summary>         </details> ## 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!

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. ## Crafting Recipes <details> <summary>Crafting Recipes</summary>         </details> ## 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.

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 <details> <summary>Upgrade Screen</summary>  </details> 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: <details> <summary>Crafting recipes</summary>     </details> ## 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.

This update brings several major improvements and visual refinements to the mod. A complete texture rework has been implemented, giving every element a cleaner and more polished appearance. All upgrades have been revisited, balanced, and enhanced to provide a smoother and more enjoyable gameplay experience. In addition, the mod’s presentation on mod websites has been greatly improved, featuring an updated logo, a redesigned page layout, and a more professional overall look. ## Texturerework All three previous upgrades, Iron, Diamond, and Netherite, now finally appear in the correct colors of their respective materials. Previously, they were displayed in inaccurate shades of gray, blue, and black, but each upgrade now clearly represents the true tone of its material. ## Hitbox Adjustment The hitboxes of thrown snowballs have been resized to match the actual size of the snowball itself. Previously, they were roughly twice as large, which often led to inaccurate collisions. ## Mod Presentation The presentation of the mod has been completely reworked. The logo has been updated to match the new texture style and now appears in much higher resolution. The mod page has also been fully redesigned and streamlined to present a cleaner and more consistent look. ## New Upgrades and Reworks This update introduces a complete overhaul of the existing speed upgrades, which now scale dynamically based on percentage values for smoother and more consistent balancing. Several new upgrades have also been added, expanding the range of customization options. In addition, a set of special upgrades now allows players to grant the Happy Ghast unique abilities, making it more versatile and powerful than ever before. ### Copper Speed Upgrade Lets the Happy Ghast fly _10%_ faster! ### Iron Speed Upgrade Lets the Happy Ghast fly _20%_ faster! ### Gold Speed Upgrade Lets the Happy Ghast fly _30%_ faster! ### Diamond Speed Upgrade Lets the Happy Ghast fly _40%_ faster! ### Netherite Speed Upgrade Lets the Happy Ghast fly _50%_ faster! ### Aurion Speed Upgrade Lets the Happy Ghast fly _70%_ faster! ### Night Vision Upgrade Grants _Night Vision_ while riding! ### Slow Falling Upgrade Grants _Slow Falling_ while riding, lasting briefly after dismount ### Siege Upgrade _Ignites_ dropped _TNT_ nearby! ## Inventory Tab Icon The mod’s inventory tab now uses the Gold Speed Upgrade as its logo, giving it a clearer and more fitting visual identity. ## Crafting recipes The crafting recipes have been completely redesigned. They are now more intuitive, balanced, and resource-friendly, making progression feel smoother and crafting far more rewarding. <details> <summary>Crafting recipes</summary>          </details> ## Future Plans The next update will focus on adding new and exciting special upgrades that introduce fresh abilities and effects. The main priority is the implementation of a dedicated screen that displays which upgrade a Happy Ghast currently has, as keeping track becomes increasingly difficult with the growing number of available upgrades. Support for versions 1.21.6–1.21.8 will also gradually come to an end once maintaining compatibility between both versions becomes too complex.

The first minor updates introduces **three small changes**: - Happy Ghast: Upgrade Snowballs **supports** now the version **1.21.7** of Minecraft - The **stack size** of the three tiers of snowballs was **reduced to 16** - A bug where the **game crashed** when you started the mod **combined** with my other mod "_Chroma: Tools & Utilities_" was patched

This is the release version :)
