Make your happy ghast move faster!

Snowball on a Stick

Give your Happy Ghast a little motivation!

Similar to a carrot or a warped fungus on a stick, you can use the snowball on a stick to give your ghast a speed boost. Simply right-click it while riding your ghast. If you need to go slower again, just use the item again. Make sure you've brought enough snowballs though - you'll eventually need to replace the one on the rod!

The speed boost also runs out after a certain time (default: 40 seconds). This can be configured via the `#boost_time` scoreboard value:

``` scoreboard players set #boost_time snowball_on_a_stick 400 ```

The example above would set the boost to run out after 400 ticks, meaning 20 seconds.

You can also set `#boost_time` to `-1` to make the cooldown last forever:

``` scoreboard players set #boost_time snowball_on_a_stick -1 ```

Particle Cloud

While the speed boost is active, your ghasts gets it's own little snow cloud!

Inspiration

While I did come up with this concept by myself, it *is* very simple and straightforward, and thus, it seems like it has been done before by Sapphipenug in the form of the data pack with the same name. However, since *a)* she has not updated the pack in almost a year and *b)* I think my version is different enough from hers, I decided to upload it anyways.
