Minecraft Player Shares Creative Roller Coaster Build

2025 has been a pretty big year for Minecraft so far, and one creative player has shown off a unique roller coaster build of their own, which has been made possible by the updated leashing mechanics introduced in the game’s latest content drop. This new game update, titled Chase the Skies, has brought a few quality features to Minecraft, including the popular happy ghast mob and the player locator feature, which is handy in multiplayer.

Minecraft‘s ongoing development has shifted toward a slightly different model over the past year, with the game doing away with major annual updates and rolling out smaller “game drops” throughout the year instead. The focus of the Chase the Skies drop is undoubtedly the happy ghast mob, an adorable new companion that players can befriend, raise, and even use as a unique mount to fly through the skies of their worlds. Among a handful of other useful additions, the latest drop has also overhauled the way leads work, allowing players to connect several mobs together, or even leash them to objects like boats and minecarts.

Minecraft Fan Shares Convenient ‘Ghast Garage’ Build

One simple Minecraft build lets players store their rideable happy ghasts in their bases, providing a useful spot to mount them from.

As it turns out, Minecraft‘s new leashing mechanics lay the foundation for a variety of surprising creations, and have proven crucial in one build recently shared online by the player bjtgamingHELP. This creative design has been named by its creator as the “world’s first” functional suspended roller coaster build in Minecraft, allowing players to be carried along a ride in a boat that hangs beneath a moving minecart via leads. While it may not be the first time a Minecraft player has built something like this, it nonetheless makes for another fun way for players to traverse the heights of their worlds – and they can even take another mob along for the ride.

This Awesome Minecraft Build Demonstrates How Much Fans Can Do With So Little

While new features like the happy ghast and updated leashing mechanics may not seem like a lot of content at a glance, there are abundant examples of how these additions can shake up gameplay in ways that some fans may not expect. Some of Minecraft‘s most successful features tend to be those that inspire the most creativity with minimal moving pieces, and wild Minecraft creations like a weaponized happy ghast demonstrate how much fun there is to be had with the game’s latest drop.

If the game’s Chase the Skies drop wasn’t enough, the update was also accompanied by the introduction of Vibrant Visuals to Minecraft‘s Bedrock Edition. This ambitious overhaul to Minecraft‘s graphics and visuals makes the game’s worlds more beautiful than ever before, bringing major improvements to lighting, colors, water caustics, and much more. While exclusive to certain platforms on Bedrock Edition at the moment, Vibrant Visuals is planned to come to Java Edition sometime in the future.
