Blimps

Blimps would be crafted with a blast furnace, 5 wool blocks, and 3 planks of any type. Unlike happy ghasts they will be much faster and could float on water, They can have a seating capacity up to 6 entities. But you would need coal to power it. They cannot be used in the end and will explode if attempted to be powered by coal giving the happy ghast an advantage. And unlike happy ghasts they cannot be damaged by all projectiles except for fireballs and wind charges

    Similar idea, hope its good;

    A balloon made out of phantom membrane and wool that attaches to mobs like leads and has a stack size of ~16.
    If one is attached to a boat, minecart, donkey, or tamed pig; It becomes a pilotable blimp.
    Attaching one to a mob would incapacitate it and lift it somewhere between 1-3 blocks from the altitude it was equipped at.

    Attacking a balloon will lower it's altitude by the amount of damage delt to it. Once whatever it's carrying lands via balloon damage, the balloon is itemized. If the attack is piercing like an arrow or spear; it's immediately itemized.

    If a blimp-rider needs more altitude, at some point they would need to apply a second balloon for the initial lift that comes with it. For that to work; I think left-clicking or "using" the deployed balloon should place it directly into your inventory instead of itemizing for fear of dropping it.

    Shift-left-clicking or "sneaking, then using" would attach one onto the player, lifting, incapacitating, but also for parachuting down steep ledges.

    Blimps or balloons, yes. But only once we get the furnace cart in Bedrock and three-player canoes and four-person sailboats.

    Yes except that’s too easy to get
