About this project
What does Lightning Ghasts add?

This mod adds a couple of new types of ghasts and a few new items.
Beta warning
There may be errors and instability.
Nimble Ghast

Can be obtained:
Can only be obtained by using the Speed effect on a happy ghast and feeding it Ghast Treat. After a while, it will transform into a nimble ghast.
The Nimble Ghast itself is faster than the Happy Ghast. It can be equipped with a Speedy Copper Harness. Can only carry up to 2 people.
Use a Giant firework to attach it to the Ghast's harness. Mount it, hold down the spacebar, and activate the fireworks for a massive speed boost. (It can hold up to 2 giant fireworks. Caution: if you hit the blocks while accelerating, an explosion will occur and the Ghast will die.)
Electro Ghast

Rare variant - can be obtained randomly, 1 of 500
You can summon rare variant by using this command : /summon lightning-ghasts:electro_ghast ~ ~ ~ {rare:1}

Can be obtained: Electro Ghast evolves from Ghastling after being struck by lightning at cloud level in any mountain biome.
Electro Ghast can be used in combat. Hold down the spacebar for the Ghast to fire an Electroball. It will fly in the direction you are looking. If the ball hits an entity, it will give it the Electric Discharge status effect.
