Added hot air balloons + vegan music discs
Go to this datapack's page

Finally bringing an vegan alternative to the happy ghasts: hot air balloons. I’ll probably publish this as a separate datapack at some point, but right now it’s probably still a bit buggy (not entirely my fault, turns out happy ghasts released with lots of bugs). One thing that surprised me when developing this is that the balloons actually have a lot of decorative potential, I can see how they could be integrated on some builds.

Also excuse the shitty textures of the balloons lol.

Balloons in-game

  Previous release: v1.4.2

Changes

Additions:

  • Hot Air Balloons: new datapack included within Vegancraft. It adds craftable hot air balloons, an alternative to happy ghast riding!
    • Craft one and right-click on the ground with it. A balloon will spawn, which can be ridden by right-clicking on it.
    • When not ridden, it will slowly wander around, so I recommend to attach it somewhere using a leash.
    • If destroyed, the original balloon item will drop.
    • For everything else, it behaves exactly the same as a happy ghast, so you can ride it with the same controls and even attach boats to it (which makes them look more like irl balloons).
  • All music discs are now obtainable in vegan ways. These are the new methods of obtaining them (any disc not listed here was already obtainable somehow):
    • Blocks: from village house chests (10% chance)
    • Chirp: from jungle temple chests (33.3%)
    • Far: from stronghold library chests (100%)
    • Mall: from shipwreck map chests (20%)
    • Stal: from village weaponsmith, toolsmith, armorer, or temple chests (33.3%)
    • Strad: from brushing suspicious gravel in trail ruins (8.8%)
    • Ward: from ancient city chests (15%)
    • 11: from abandoned mineshaft chests (20%)
    • Tears: from breaking pitcher plants (1%) (the plant has to break and drop seeds. The disc can’t drop if you harvest it with shears/silk touch)
    • Lava Chicken: from wandering traders (12%) or from getting the Hail Seitan advancement (crafting 666 seitan steaks).

Changes:

  • Slightly reduced chances of getting nether stars in ancient cities (2%)
  • Ancient city loot now may contain ominous trial keys (4%)
  • Journeyman cleric villagers now buy ominous bottles in exchange for emeralds
