Gost
by LittleMind
Gost is a hide-and-seek minigame in which a cat, a mouse, a ghost and a man compete in a pursuit played inside Minecraft.
What it does
Gost turns a chase into a game: one player takes the role of the man, while the others play the cat, the mouse or the ghost. The design takes inspiration from the Dead Realm game, and the author describes the goal as recreating its tension and pursuit. Gost is a plugin rather than a content mod, so it runs on server software and players join without installing anything.
The mod is distributed as a Forge and NeoForge build, and it also works on Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur and Folia servers. The release notes state that the plugin was generated through a scripted IRC plugin with AI assistance, and the author expects further updates. Gost is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, though the source code is publicly available.

Hide-and-seek pursuit

Survival confrontation

Minigame sessions
