Happy Ghast Speed Plugin

A Minecraft Paper plugin for version 26.1.2 that allows server administrators to dynamically control the movement speed of the "Happy Ghast" mob across the entire server.

Features

• Global Speed Control: Instantly updates the movement/flying speed of all existing Happy Ghasts in all worlds.
• Automatic Enforcement: Automatically applies the configured speed to any newly spawned Happy Ghasts.
• In-Game Commands: Easy-to-use commands to set, increase, or decrease the speed multiplier dynamically.
• Persistent Configuration: Saves the chosen speed to config.yml so it persists across server restarts.

Commands

• /happyghastspeed <number> - Sets a specific speed for all Happy Ghasts (e.g., /happyghastspeed 0.4).
• /happyghastspeed increase <number> - Increases the current speed (e.g., /happyghastspeed increase 0.1).
• /happyghastspeed decrease <number> - Decreases the current speed (e.g., /happyghastspeed decrease 0.05).

Aliases: /hgspeed

Permissions

• happyghast.speed - Required to use the /happyghastspeed command.
