Minecraft Dried Ghast PNG
The Dried Ghast exactly as it looks in the Minecraft 26.3 inventory, as a transparent PNG. It is the render of the item itself, not a loose texture: what you see in your hand and in chests. In the creative inventory it sits in the “Functional” tab.

Sizes and quality
The Dried Ghast render is 128 × 128 pixels, the size the game draws the item at in the inventory. It scales up by whole numbers to 1024 px with no interpolation, so the edges stay sharp.

The dried ghast is a shriveled, harmless ghast in block form, and the first step toward owning a happy ghast. It breaks instantly with any tool or by hand and always drops itself. There are three ways to get one: next to Nether fossils in soul sand valleys, where it appears a third of the time, bartering with piglins, at a little over 2% per gold ingot, or crafting it.
To wake it up, put it in water. It starts giving off green particles and gradually gains a happy face and a lighter color. The changes show at around 5 minutes, more at 10 and finish near 15. After roughly 20 minutes it turns into a baby happy ghast, which later grows into an adult.
The timing is partly random, because each stage only starts counting once the block gets a random tick, so the average per stage is a little over 5 minutes. Remove the water halfway and it dries out again at the same rate, and breaking it resets it straight to fully dry.
Placed on soul sand or soul soil without water, it crackles now and then. According to a Minecraft.net article, nobody is quite sure whether it is the remains of an old ghast, some kind of egg or something else entirely.
