Ghost of You

Each player's movement is recorded on the server, covering position, rotation, sprinting, jumping, swimming, sneaking and attacks over the last 30 seconds before death. When the player dies, that recording becomes a ghost that repeats the final moments in an infinite loop, with smooth interpolation, at the exact place of death. The ghost is a translucent, player-shaped model wearing the armor the player had on, and its playback scales with distance from the viewer.

The mod is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for six game versions 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 0.1.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest file. Ghosts persist across world reloads, so old graveyards remain in place. Public source code is available, and the project is attributed to CDR_Project.
