Ghost Hands
by xMyas_
Ghost Hands lets players set the opacity of their first-person hands and held items, from fully solid down to fully transparent.
What it does
Ghost Hands is a client-side Fabric mod that changes how the player's own arms and held items are drawn in first person. Opacity can be set separately for the right hand, the left hand and the offhand, with each value running from 0% to 100%. The transparency is applied cleanly to arms, sleeves and held items, including items that carry enchantment glints.
The settings sit in an in-game configuration screen opened through Mod Menu, where the standard Minecraft controls can also be customized. A toggle switches the effect on or off without a restart, and a single click restores the default values. Because the change happens only on the client, it works on vanilla servers and multiplayer networks without any server-side install.
Fabric Loader and Fabric API are required. Ghost Hands is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files exist for Fabric across 11 release versions, 1.21 – 1.21.11, and the latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.21.11, published on 2026-09-11.
Key features
Independent opacity sliders
Each hand and the offhand have their own slider, so one hand can be made translucent while the other stays solid.
Smooth alpha transparency
Arms, sleeves and held items fade evenly across the full range, leaving the rest of the first-person view untouched.
In-game configuration menu
Options are reachable through Mod Menu at any time, with the standard Minecraft controls available for customization.
Hide offhand items
Setting the offhand to 0% hides a shield or totem held in that hand while the main hand stays visible.

How it compares
No Re-Equip is a client-side Fabric mod with an MIT License, built for 1.21.8 only, so it does not cover the range Ghost Hands supports. NoGhostBlock works on Fabric for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, but the client is required and the server is optional, and its license is All rights reserved. Anti Ghost in Client is open source under the MIT License for 1.21.6, and it is installed on both the client and the server.
