The Happy Ghast in Minecraft is officially released on June 17, 2025, as part of the "Chase the Skies" update which also includes rideable Happy Ghasts. This update is alongside the "Vibrant Visuals" update and is available on compatible Bedrock versions. To obtain a Happy Ghast, players need to find a dried ghast block in the Nether, bring it to the Overworld, submerge it in water to rehydrate it until it transforms into a ghastling, and then raise it into a Happy Ghast with care, such as cooling it with snowballs. The update allows up to five players to fly together on Happy Ghasts.
