If you are riding a Happy Ghast and you change it Motion NBT tag with the data command, it doesn't move far enough and like if it is teleported.
How to reproduce :
Summon an Happy Ghast
Put an Harness on it and ride it
Exxecute /
data modify entity @n[type=minecraft:happy_ghast] Motion set value [0d,1d,0d]and see the distance and speed it movesDismount from it and re execute /
data modify entity @n[type=minecraft:happy_ghast] Motion set value [0d,1d,0d]and watch the distance it moves compared when you was riding it
Expected result :
It moves at the same distance and speed when you are riding it or not when you change it Motion NBT tag with data command and not like if it is teleported but like it is propulsed
Observed result :
It moves a less longer distance (a random distance, some time it’s a little bit less longer than other tries) and more quickly like if it is teleported when you change it Motion NBT tag with data if you are riding it, but if you are not riding it, it move correctly with the good distance and speed, not like if it is teleported.
