Charon's Echo

On death, the items do not scatter across the ground; the Ferryman takes them and they are kept at the grave. The player's spirit rises as a ghost, invisible and tethered to the spot where they fell, and it must cross the endless dusk-lit graveyard to reach its own grave. A headstone is dug at the grave, and graveyard history is recorded on the server.

The mod is a server-side addition that runs on Fabric only, so vanilla Java clients join without installing anything, and Bedrock players can connect through Geyser. Charon's Echo requires Fabric API. It is published for Minecraft 26.2 and 26.3, with the latest Fabric file 1.3.2+26.3 for 26.3, released 2026-09-26. It is released under the MIT License and is open source.

Gameplay sits in the world-generation category and touches adventure, game mechanics, economy, mobs and social play. A Stygian Seed Broker sells seeds that grow into a withered Tollfruit tree in the overworld. Its fruit is the material for Charon's Obol, a currency used to pay the Ferryman's fare, and felling the tree with a netherite axe in a slow ritual returns only the seed.
