Since happy ghast’s effect particles generate from the center, by the time particles get out of the happy ghast’s model most of them have already decayed. Combine this with how large the happy ghast is, it’s hard to tell when the happy ghast has an effect or when it runs out.
is this still an issue for you?
I can see that this happy ghast has the ‘slowness’ effect after using a splash potion
