🔥 Better Ghast Harness 👻

Take your ghast riding experience to the next level! This datapack adds craftable tiered harnesses that not only protect your fiery companion but also make them significantly faster when you're in the saddle.

✨ Features

🛡️ Five Tiers of Harnesses

Craft harnesses using the same materials as regular armor:

How to craft

Copper Harness- 5 armor points

Gold Harness - 6 armor points

Iron Harness - 8 armor points

Diamond Harness - 10 armor points - 4 Armor Thoughness

Netherite Harness - 10 armor points - 4 Armor Thoughness - 20% Knockback Resistance

(upgraded via Smithing Table)

Each tier provides half the armor points of a full armor set (rounded up) of that material. Crafting is flat progression - skip straight to any tier you want without needing the previous ones!

⚡ Speed Boost While Riding

Mount up and feel the difference! Each reinforced harness grants your ghast a flying speed increase only when you're riding:

• Copper: +25% speed
• Gold: +50% speed
• Iron: +75% speed
• Diamond: +100% speed
• Netherite: +200% speed

📖 Enhanced Enchantments

To compensate the Ghast's lack of equipment, tiered harnesses support all Protection enchantments at 2.0x their normal power:

Spoiler

• Harness Protection
• Harness Fire Protection
• Harness Blast Protection
• Harness Projectile Protection

All enchantments stack up to their standard maximum levels, making your ghast significantly more durable in combat.
