Ghost Rider
by Gunnolf
Ghost Rider adds a Forge power set on 1.20.1 that lets a player take on the Ghost Rider persona and use its abilities.
What it does
A player can become Ghost Rider through the mod, which grants the persona's powers. Once transformed, the player can summon a Ghost Rider motorcycle, pull and throw a chain, and use a Penance Stare on nearby entities. The mod is built on Geckolib, which must be installed alongside it, and the mod is the only one of the listed additions with these powers.
Riding is done with a right click on the summoned motorcycle. Aiming at different angles produces different results from the same ability, and holding the input keeps an effect active for longer. Crouching targets the entity in front of the player. Once the contract is signed, the power cannot be disabled, so a transformed player stays Ghost Rider.
Ghost Rider is a Forge mod for 1.20.1, released with version 1.7 on 2024-07-31 after a first publication on 2024-07-26. Both client and server need it, so the server and every player run the same build. It is categorized under Magic, with Cursed and Equipment as secondary categories, and is distributed under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.
