Dried Ghast is a block that players make by crafting Ghast Tears together with Soul Sand. When broken, it drops itself, so it can be picked up and moved elsewhere.

Players can place it facing different directions, which lets them choose how it sits in a build. It can also be waterlogged, so water can fill the same space as the block.
