Dried Ghast
Block Stack: 64 Since 1.21.6 (Chase the Skies)
Quick answer: Found in soul sand valleys: a 1/3 chance of generating next to each Nether fossil.
How to get it
- Found in soul sand valleys: a 1/3 chance of generating next to each Nether fossil
- Craft it: 8 ghast tears around 1 soul sand block
- Piglin bartering: about a 2.13% chance per gold ingot
Uses
- Waterlog it and wait about 20 minutes: it hydrates through visible stages and hatches into a ghastling
- The ghastling grows into a happy ghast - the rideable flying mount for up to four players; feed ghastlings snowballs or golden dandelions to speed growth
- Pure decoration otherwise: makes cracking ambient sounds when placed on soul sand or soul soil
Renewability
Renewable via crafting (ghast tears farm from ghasts) and piglin bartering.
