Just a Ghost
by Endy678
Just a Ghost adds an undead mob that appears after certain mobs, such as Villagers and Illagers, are killed.
What it does
Ghost spawns on the world's undead side when specific mobs are killed, including Villagers and Illagers. The mod names the mob after its role in the game, and it is meant to fill a gap in the existing roster. Clerics gain a new trade, so Ghost has a use beyond decoration.
Just a Ghost runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1 only, with 1.2.2 as the latest file from 2026-04-15, and the mod is released under the MIT License. It is not open source.

What the author says
This mod adds, as the name suggest, just a ghost! Yes, that's really it! The Ghost is a new undead mob that spawns upon killing certain mobs such as Villages and Illagers. The mod also adds a new trade for Cleric Villagers to give some actual utility to the Ghost rather than just being a filler mob.
