Unable to ride Happy Ghast on Bedrock

[hgsjr]

Describe the bug

Hi there,

This is actually my first time reporting a bug on GitHub, so I apologize if this report lacks some useful information or contains any English mistakes.

Straight to the point:

While I (Java Edition Player) was playing Minecraft with my girlfriend (Bedrock Edition Player), I was able to ride and control the Happy Ghast's movement. Unfortunately, while she could mount the Happy Ghast as the rider, she wasn't able to control or move it in the air. Additionally, when she tried to dismount, her player became completely stuck and unable to move, forcing her to disconnect and rejoin the server to regain control.

Other bugs we found:

When I was riding the Happy Ghast and she was the passenger, her screen view was entirely blocked because my player model was overlapping hers, making it impossible for her to see.

Lastly, the Happy Ghast is unable to carry any entity that contains a player (e.g., a boat, minecart, or pig with a carrot) — it seems to work only when these entities are not carring a player (if it is a villager, for example, it will work fine lol).

I hope this helps! Sorry again for any mistakes, and thank you for your work on the mod.

Best regards,
Harley Seixas Jr.

As of now, Geyser does not yet provide full support for the Happy Ghast entity in the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft, which prevents proper rendering and interaction for Bedrock players.

I currently run a server based on Paper, with Geyser and Floodgate plugins configured to enable cross-play between Java and Bedrock editions. Geyser functions as a protocol translator, converting packets between the two formats to ensure compatibility.

However, this translation does not yet cover recently added entities such as the Happy Ghast, limiting the experience for Bedrock users.

Given this scenario, we need to wait for a new Geyser release that implements proper mapping for this entity and resolves the current compatibility issue.

Happy ghast movement is functional in the latest 1.21.6 Geyser preview build :)
