Remove the Dried Ghast recipe

Rumor has it that Dried Ghast is supposed to have its own recipe, which doesn’t make sense because there’s no need to search for them in Soulsand Valley. The same goes for the Creaking Heart

    I think the main problem with them being only available through exploration is the existance of multiplayer. One player could immediately go to the Nether searching for Soulsand Valley and destroy them all. Or over time, a server could essentially run out of dried ghasts in the same way elytras become rare in large servers. Mojang is making a big push for multiplayer right now (they have even named it "Minecraft: play with friends" on some platforms). If I had to guess, they are probably trying to figure out a good way to make elytras renewable as well. 

    It would be much easier to just make them breedable, but honestly I can't think of any way that would make sense lorewise. Maybe by crafting them out of Ghast Tears, you are imbuing the new ghastling with the remnants of the souls of other ghasts. A branch of magic straying into necromancy. The existence of Bone Blocks in the leaked recipe is the thing that really throws me off. I can't imagine how bone blocks would contribute to a Dried Ghast.

    One last thing I'll say is that I don't have many Ghast Tears lying around. After a year of playing on my survival world I have maybe a stack. If the leaked recipe is real, I will only be able to make 16 extremely flammable Happy Ghasts.

    There are some items you simply shouldn't be able to craft! And the dried ghast is definitely one of them!

    It does feel super weird to craft something that will eventually be a mob (and not a golem).
