Ghost Gear
by Darkhax
Ghost Gear adds a handheld spirit box that picks words from a dictionary using the game's own random number generator, for players who want a paranormal theme in their Minecraft world.
What it does
The spirit box is a new tool that listens to the faint background noise of the world. Its sampled fluctuations are fed into a selection routine that draws words from a fixed list. Placed blocks of the same kind periodically say random words. Right-clicking a block lets a player change the frequency and swap the dictionary it draws from. The box offers three modes and five scan speeds, with updates every 5, 10, 15 or 30 seconds, or once a minute. The dictionary holds over 2000 words, including items, locations, colors, names, actions, food, and a strong bias toward scary and creepy terms, along with the 26 letters and number terms such as hundred, thousand and dozen.
A small set of yes-or-no style answers is also included, in the manner of a magic 8 ball. The mod is published for 1.21.1 on Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, and it is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only. It needs Bookshelf, Fabric API and Prickle, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it.
