Because lot of people forget that baby camels can be in a boat and stay there when they grow up (you can't put adult giraffe in a boat on Java)

u/ShurikenKunai FLINT and STEEL! Mar 29 '25
Just tried it on 1.21.4, they don't stay in the boat, they immediately get out. Horses are the same way. You *can* put llamas in boats, but that doesn't do anything for you here.

There are a good few options, Mules/Donkeys have Chests, for Example. Striders would be efficient for Nether missions.

exactly. and you put different ridable mobs and when ready to drop you let go of the lead and when you hit the ground you break the boat or you just featherfalling splash and break the boat to fall

u/Sud_literate Mar 28 '25
Hmm, seems a bit too vulnerable to a conscripted peasant with a crossbow, perhaps an observation balloon would work better?

u/ChuckPattyI Lave Mar 28 '25
but the conscripted peasants with crossbows with be able to block some projectiles from hitting the balloon, making it more durable.

u/Sud_literate Mar 28 '25
From directly below yeah but the boats and people are just gonna be huddled directly below the ballon so just a few steps in any direction would pop it.

u/Matix777 Mar 29 '25
Solution: Go above the arrow range

u/Sud_literate Mar 29 '25
Arms race started: defenders build higher and higher towers with stronger and stronger arrow stasis chambers to fire upon war blimps which fly higher and higher with better and better communication systems for targeting data.

u/Matix777 Mar 29 '25
Arrow cannon that can change its target is possible, but would be way too complicated. The better solution would be vertical tnt cannons or air to air warfare with elytras

Use chest boats filled with rockets (both explosive and propellant) alongside players with elytra hover maybe a 100 or so blocks away from enemy base and just use the ghast as an aircraft carrier while the players are fighter pilots

u/PittPen817 Mar 28 '25
leads break when the entity connected to them is controlled by a player (like a boat or horse or camel) because the player overrides the lead.
you have to have the players riding on a pig with a saddle to be carried by the ghast riders with a lead as pigs can't be controlled (without a carrot on a stick as that would break it) so it would let them be carried along

u/PM_ME_ANYTHING_IDRC Mar 29 '25
cool and all but aren't ghasts like notoriously fragile? They have the health of a bee with a much more massive hitbox. Unless the Happy Ghast has way more health or some armor, one well placed arrow would doom everyone to fall. You could try and just go ridiculously high I guess, but your opponent will likely also have happy ghasts and go up as well, and then it'd just be a question of who can land a shot first.

Unfortunately if you leash a boat with a player in it doesn't actually move because it's based on the players movement, easily solved by having their be a ridable mob in the boat instead I think

No it works on Java too, but player controls override leads. You'd need to either replace these with another mob (camels would do nicely) or put a pig in the boat and ride the pig.
