GhostMod
by SI339
GhostMod lets players who share a single-player adventure map see one another as transparent ghosts in the same world, for friends who each run their own copy.
What it does
Each player enters a single-player world and is connected automatically to the shared session through a Ghost Mod Server, a separate Java application that one person runs. Other players appear as transparent ghost entities, and their positions are synced in real time, so friends can see where each other stand on the same adventure map.
Ghosts do not trigger command blocks, take damage or affect server-side logic, so the map keeps working as the author built it. Puzzles and stories can be played together without breaking anything. Installation covers the server and each player's game. It is installed with Cloth Config API and Fabric API, and Mod Menu is optional for easier settings access.
The Ghost Mod Server is published separately on GitHub Releases. Its code is available on the source link, and the mod is released under the MIT License, so it is open source. Files target 1.19.2 – 26.2 for Fabric alone, with 1.6.0 for 26.2 as the latest file.
Key features
Pseudo-multiplayer single-player maps
Friends each run their own copy of an adventure map and still share one world view through ghost entities.
Real-time position sync
Each player's position is sent to the others, so ghosts move in step with the people controlling them.
Ghosts that do not interfere
Ghost entities pass through the map without triggering command blocks or taking damage.
Server address connection
Players enter the server address, port and password in the settings to connect to a session.
