You should not be able to craft a baby ghast

Being able to craft a baby ghast is a weird and unbalanced feature for multiple reasons. It just does not make sence.

1: Being able to craft a baby, living creature, makes no sense as a feature, it feels out of place.

2: It does not encourage exploration. If you can just craft a ghast, you won't have to go find a soulsand valley, soulsand can be traded from piglins and found in fortresses, and random patches in the nether, everywhere, including the ancient cities. And ghast tears can be found immediately by killing ghasts in any biome of the nether.

3: being able to craft this flying mount is very unintuitive. being able to craft this mount completely overrides exploration via trading with piglins or finding them in soulsand valleys.

4: It removes the reward. Finding a dehydrated ghast should be a reward, you get a very powerful, flying mount in return! This should be an experience for the player, you don't get this experience from crafting it. that is too easy.

Instead.

You should be able to breed happy ghasts to get more ghastlings, this makes sence. It is more interesting and intuitive. Ghasts are animals, baby ghasts exist, why craft them like an item? You can not craft cows from beef and leather.

Breeding ghasts encourages exploration as you will have to locate two dehydrated ghasts first in order to have access to infinite ghasts for you and all your friends.

Just remove the crafting recipe, everything else is perfect for minecraft gameplay.

    The recipe is expensive and requires both ghast tears and should sand so if you want it exploration or trading are the easy options, so points 2, 3 and 4 are all irrelevant.

    As for point 1, We can make golems which are living, we can make end crystals that bring back the end dragon, we can craft the wither. Creating life isn't a new thing to minecraft, and the dried ghast is made with ghast tears, the thing that makes regeneration potions and End crystals.

    golems and dragons are summoning rituals, creating a pre-made crying ghast is a lot weirder

    I think you are right. I used to think the same but from what i see Mojang is telling us that soul sand have life in it. By adding Ghast Tears, you mix life with Ghast DNA. I do not agree with crafting a mob (not summoning) but it make sense. your and their point of view is matching with Minecraft. The only problem and you mentionned it, is exploration but since they can't breed and there are expensive finding them stay a good way to have them. If it was up to me, i'd remove the craft and make em breedable (breeding drops dried ghast)
