[MCPE-234016] Mobs die from fall damage when attached to a happy ghast

Steps to reproduce:

Place a mob on a lead

Attach lead to happy ghast

Attempt to land after transporting mob

Expected result:

mob arrives safely, no matter how “fast" you land (fast is quoted because HG are slow)

Actual result:

Mob dies of fall damage when landing, even when you try to land very slowly

I know boats prevent this, but mojang decided that horses can't go in boats anymore so…

Mobs shouldn't take fall damage while attached to a happy ghast.

There are no “potential fixes” for this on the thread you linked… the only “fix” is using a boat, BUT OH they made it so horses can't go in boats. But that's okay, because they also made horses unusable by ruining the way they move. Im done with this game.
