Mojang has unveiled an enchanting addition to the Minecraft universe: the ghastling. This new creature offers a delightful twist on the eerie ghasts that drift through the Nether. Players will soon have the opportunity to capture these charming beings and ride them throughout the Overworld, enhancing their gameplay experience. However, there are specific steps to follow before you can enjoy the company of a ghastling.
Mojang has emphasized the advantages of having a joyful ghast as your companion in Minecraft. Not only does it provide a unique aesthetic, but it also allows players to construct structures from its back while in survival mode, adding a new layer of creativity to the game.
How to Get a Dried Ghast in Minecraft
The anticipated update introducing the dried ghast is expected to arrive later in 2025. Mojang has confirmed that this update will be available for testing soon, with speculation suggesting a summer release.
While we have insight into the what, the when and how remain somewhat elusive. The dried ghast, along with its evolved forms—the ghastling and the happy ghast—will be part of a future update, but the exact release date for the ghastling mob is still under wraps.
The dried ghast, affectionately referred to as a baby ghast, starts its journey as a desolate, shriveled entity in the Nether. To transform it, players must first transport it back to the Overworld via a Nether Portal. Once there, the next step is to rehydrate this forlorn creature.
To do so, players will need to submerge the dried ghast in water for a few days. As it absorbs the moisture, its spirits will lift, culminating in a delightful transformation as it emerges from the water as a ghastling. This ‘baby ghast’ will then continue to evolve into a happy ghast, ready to be harnessed and ridden across the Overworld. To ensure the ghastling remains cheerful, players can cool it down with snowballs and water, nurturing its happiness.
This exciting information was shared during the latest Minecraft Live recap, leaving players eager for more details.
As for the timeline of the happy ghast update, while specifics are still pending, staying tuned to official announcements will provide the latest insights.
