In a jaw-dropping revelation, IGN unveils a game-changing addition to Minecraft that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Enter the dried ghast, a peculiar block discovered in the Nether, resembling a dehydrated ghast with a melancholic expression. But fear not, for this desolate creature can be brought back to life by transporting it to the Overworld and submerging it in water. What emerges from this revival process is a delightful baby ghastling, a whimsical being that hovers like a balloon and exhibits a curious nature as it trails players and mobs. This adorable ghastling can even be fed snowballs, evolving into the amiable happy ghast as it matures.
Craft yourself a harness, and you'll have the opportunity to ride the happy ghast, embarking on a thrilling airborne adventure like never before. The harness not only allows you to soar through the skies but also acts as a clever indicator to signal when someone is hitching a ride on your ghast. To enhance the camaraderie, a new feature called the locator bar has been introduced, aiding players in pinpointing the direction of their comrades. With the ability to accommodate up to four players on a single happy ghast, the sky's the limit for collaborative escapades.
Survival builders, rejoice! The dried ghast, ghastling, and happy ghast bring a myriad of creative and strategic possibilities to the table, promising an exhilarating gameplay experience. From engaging in PVP battles to constructing elaborate structures, the new additions offer endless avenues for exploration and enjoyment. Prepare to dive into the action as Minecraft enthusiasts gear up to test these innovative features in upcoming snapshot betas and previews, eagerly anticipating the feedback and reactions from the gaming community.
