FunTranscript
00:00It's time to announce a never-before-seen game drop.
00:04It's something completely new and I must confess I'm very excited about it.
00:09It's something that helps you build really big structures.
00:13It's something that might make you create a completely new kind of relationship with an
00:18existing mob and it's also something that makes it extra precious to journey through
00:23the Minecraft world together with your friends.
00:26Hmm...
00:27And it all starts with a rather special and possibly quite sad new block you find in the
00:33nether.
00:35More precisely in the soul sand valleys around these familiar odd-looking bone structures.
00:42But if you take a closer look you might notice something you haven't seen before.
00:48It's a bit hard to tell from behind but if you look from the other side you will see a sad face
00:54that you probably recognize.
00:56It's a dried ghast.
01:03The dried ghast is a little bit smaller than the regular block and well it has these
01:09cute little tentacles on the sides and has this just a little bit grumpy face to it.
01:16It seems very dehydrated.
01:19Then you might think that well let's put water on it but there is no water in nether.
01:25So we can bring it to somewhere where there is water.
01:28We'll pick up the block from the nether, bring it with us from the nether to Thora portal
01:34and what better way to rehydrate a dried ghast than just put it in water.
01:41And then we wait.
01:45And wait.
01:48A little bit over time it's gonna start first it's grumpy right then it gets neutral then it's
01:53gonna start to smile more and more.
01:56Because then a ghastling is spawned.
02:04It's so cute.
02:07It's a baby.
02:08It's precious.
02:09It's a baby.
02:10He's smiling.
02:10He's happy.
02:16So the ghastling just floats around the overworld.
02:20It's a little balloon basically right so yeah it does what a balloon does.
02:24It floats and goes around but it's also very curious.
02:28So it's gonna somewhat imprint over players or mobs and just follow them around a bit
02:33until it gets bored and then it's just gonna yeah go and follow something else.
02:38This one will not spit fireballs but you can feed it with something Agnes.
02:43Yes it actually is quite fond of snowballs instead of course.
02:49I think it's so adorable.
02:51It's both hydration and cooling down.
02:54And when it grows up it turns into yet another new thing which is the happy ghast.
03:04Yeah the happy ghast is friendly towards the player.
03:06It's gonna roam around, fly around.
03:09If the ghast brings you fires the happy ghast brings you smiles.
03:16There's one more thing you can do with happy ghasts.
03:19You can fly on it which is obviously what you long for when you see your
03:25buddy flying around in the sky you want to go flying with it.
03:28So if you craft a harness for your ghast you can tempt the ghast to come closer with the harness,
03:34put the harness on and jump up on it.
03:39An interesting thing about the harness also is that you can use it as an indicator
03:42to see if someone is riding the ghast because well it's got these goggles
03:48and if someone is riding it they go down in front with the ice.
03:53We have a new neat feature as well Agnes the locator bar right?
03:58Yes so we have a new feature the locator bar which you see like at the bottom of the screen
04:03and there you can see kind of in which direction your friends are so then like when you're out
04:08flying on the happy ghast for example and want to find your friend you see okay I should travel here.
04:13You can actually be up to four players on the happy ghast so you can fly on it together.
04:19So you can be the passenger princess on my ghast?
04:22Of course!
04:26I think the happy ghast is going to be a great tool for our survival builders
04:31because it's a bit like being in creative mode but in survival right?
04:35You have this platform that allows you to position wherever you want in the sky
04:39and then you can just dismount and build from the position you are at which is super convenient
04:44when working on mega builds or yeah sky bases or tall towers is super super handy.
04:51What I like is the opportunity we have with all these things we have the dried ghast with all of
04:56its decorative applications the ghastling which is livening up a base which is just lovely then
05:04there is the happy ghast with all the shenanigans you can do with you can with the PvP, the construction, racing and so many more things.
05:17Very soon players will be able to try out these new features in snapshots,
05:21betas and previews and we are so excited to see all the feedback we're gonna get.
