GhostBulb

by nnhomoli

GhostBulb lets players turn hostile mobs into invisible alternatives through a survival-friendly chain of steps, with items crafted from a Ghost Shard.

FabricClient and serverGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source26.1 – 26.2

What it does

Crafting the invisible items depends on first obtaining a Ghost Shard, so players must progress through the chain in order. The mod describes a sequence in which a naturally spawned hostile mob is gently damaged until nearly dead, healed back repeatedly until it has absorbed up to twice its maximum health, and then killed at night. The shard and the resulting items are meant to be used in survival worlds without breaking the normal pace of play.

The mod adds invisible alternatives to items and builds on them with a light block and an item frame variant. A polymer patch is included where needed. It requires AbstractedUtilities and Fabric API, and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. GhostBulb is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is published for Fabric across 4 release versions, 26.1 – 26.2, with the latest file 1.1.1 for 26.2 on the beta channel.

Key features

  1. Invisible item alternatives

    Invisible versions of items are added for use in survival play, crafted from a Ghost Shard.

  2. Ghost Shard progression

    The shard is obtained by hunting a naturally spawned hostile mob, which gates the recipes for invisible items.

  3. Light block and item frame

    An invisible light block and an invisible item frame extend the set of hidden building parts.

  4. Polymer patch support

    A patch for Polymer is included so the invisible items can be shown in clients that use it.
