Afterlife’s Delight
by vladowoe
Afterlife's Delight lets dead players return with a ghost state, and food prepared through Farmer's Delight becomes the means to revive them, as a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1.
What it does
When a player dies, the body stays behind and a ghost appears near it after the Respawn button is pressed. Mobs may ignore a ghost for longer, and the ghost state persists through relogs. Returning to life requires a resurrection dish, which restores health and hunger and revives the ghost. Seasonings decide whether a dish follows the soul through death, and everyone who has become a ghost can be revived by food that survives with one left to prepare another dish.
The mod depends on Farmer's Delight, which must be installed alongside it. It adds pestles made from different materials for grinding echo shards, chorus fruit and netherite scrap, and cutting boards are used for the cooking steps. Apple pies placed on the ground divide into four slices, and living players can eat stews, pie servings and ordinary food as usual. Options let a player set flight sounds and atmospheric effects, among them fog, particles and a translucent ghost trail, while a quiet world waits for another cook to join the server.
Afterlife's Delight runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1 (latest file 1.1.2, 2026-09-17), and the code is available publicly while the mod is released under All rights reserved.
