	Up to four players can ride a happy ghast. The first player who mounts a happy ghast controls it, sitting in the front just above its face. Players who mount after the piloting player sit in a spot on the remaining sides, starting clockwise from the first player. When one of the players dismounts, the next players are rotated counter-clockwise, filling in the empty seat. While the happy ghast is being ridden, its goggles lower to cover its eyes.		Up to four players can ride a happy ghast. The first player who mounts a happy ghast controls it, sitting in the front just above its face. Players who mount after the piloting player sit in a spot on the remaining sides, starting clockwise from the first player. When one of the players dismounts, the next players are rotated counter-clockwise, filling in the empty seat. While the happy ghast is being ridden, its goggles lower to cover its eyes.

	When riding, the player can fly both horizontally and vertically, allowing for more precise movement in the air. A happy ghast is controlled with the standard {{control\|walk\|text=directional controls}}; pressing {{control\|forward}} moves the happy ghast in the direction the player is looking. Pressing {{control\|jump}} moves the happy ghast straight upward. There is no dedicated control to move downward; in order to do so, the player should look down and press {{control\|forward}}, or look up and press backward. To ~~move~~ the ~~happy ghast in~~ a ~~way that doesn't increase nor decrease height, move sideways~~.

Pressing {{control\|jump}} moves the happy ghast straight upward. There is no dedicated control to move downward; in order to do so, the player should look down and press {{control\|forward}}, or look up and press backward. To avoid vertical movement, the player can press {{Control\|strafe left}} or {{Control\|strafe right}}, or aim their camera to a pitch of zero degrees with the assistance of the [[Minecraft:Debug screen\|debug screen.]]

	A ridden happy ghast moves at about 3.6 m/s when going in the direction the pilot is looking.		A ridden happy ghast moves at about 3.6 m/s when going in the direction the pilot is looking.
