Ghast SMP

What it does

• Every player receives a personal "Happy Ghast" companion when they join; new players auto-mount it on spawn.
• The ghast is passive (no attacks), rideable, and follows the rider's look direction; sneaking slows/descends to let you hover.
• If a companion ghast is killed, its owner permanently loses one heart (2 max health) and a replacement ghast arrives shortly after.
• Heart losses are remembered between sessions and re-applied on join; ghasts despawn when the owner leaves to avoid strays.
• Player heart loss data is stored in the plugin's data folder (players.yml).

Limitations & notes

• Max health will not drop below one heart (2 health).
• Ghast flight uses simple look-direction steering; it does not have pathfinding or combat abilities.
• Existing companions are cleaned up on shutdown/leave and refreshed on the next join.
