It’s a very useful mechanic that allows you to reach high areas without having to build a 1×1 tower.

How To Equip Harness to Happy Ghast in Minecraft?

To equip a Happy Ghast with a Harness, simply go near them and press right-click while holding the item. Once they are wearing the Harness, you can ride them similarly to how you ride any other mount in the game. The only difference is, you can fly and control the Happy Ghasts.
Remember to keep your Happy Ghast on a leash while on the ground. They have the tendency to fly away or move around the area. This can be annoying, especially if you can’t reach them. However, if you are near enough, it will try to fly lower so you can reach it.
You can check if a Happy Ghast has a passenger or not through their goggles. If they are not wearing it on their eyes, there is no one controlling it. However, if it’s wearing goggles, there is a player riding it. This is a good indicator so you won’t have to zoom in just to see if someone is riding these mobs.
