Ghost Garden
by ekraft
Ghost Garden adds haunted graveyards, a boss called the Royal Ghost and spectral gear to Minecraft 1.21.8 on NeoForge, for both client and server.
What it does
Ghost Garden expands exploration and combat with new structures, custom mobs and equipment. Loot-filled graveyards guarded by Skull Kin appear in the world. Large stone-walled Grand Courtyards are rare, while smaller iron-fenced Scattered Graves burial plots turn up across the biome. Excavating Gravestones and Gravestone Pillars can reveal hidden drops, but breaking either variant has a 50% chance of spawning a hostile Skull Kin.
The Royal Ghost is the mod's main boss, and its rare crown drop grants a permanent +1 Level Strength when equipped. The mod is published for NeoForge only, with a single file, 1.0.0, built for 1.21.8 and released 2026-05-29. The code is All rights reserved and the mod is not open source.
Key features
Skull Kin minions
Slow, hovering Skull Kin travel as groups, apply Blindness when they reach close range and vanish, leaving only glowing eyes and a strike of lightning.
Spectral weapons and staff
A Ghost Blade is forged from ghastly wraps and ghostly shards, shatters shields and slows the target. A Spectral Staff grants a 10-second Phasing Effect that lets the player walk through solid obstacles near ground level.
Royal Ghost crown
The boss drops a rare crown that adds a permanent level of Strength while worn.
Graveyard loot
Gravestones and pillars in the graveyards hide loot that rewards digging around the burial sites.

How it compares
Ghost Powers is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 under the Apache License 2.0, not open source, and it also runs on client and server. Royal Variations covers Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 and is All rights reserved. /add is client-side only, for 1.21.4 – 1.21.5, so it does not change what the server needs.
