Specter Companion
Specter Companion summons a Specter that stays near its owner, guards against death and heals when health runs low.
What it does
A player summons a Specter by right-clicking with an item in hand. The companion trails its owner, stands guard, and can heal the player quickly once health drops below half. It also removes poison effects and is meant to keep the player from dying in most situations. Specters appear in the world as a Specter Core, which is found in jungle pyramids and desert temples, and a crafted Condensed Specter uses copper ingots and wool.
On the world side, zombies, husks and drowned have a configurable chance to spawn carrying a Specter. A Condensed Specter takes a new color when dyed, and it can be given a name on an anvil. The mod is inspired by the ghost companion from the Destiny videogame of 2014. The project is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and it requires MonoLib. Only the server and players who join it need the mod to run together, and it is released under a custom license that is not open source. Source code and an issue tracker are public.

What the author says
A Specter is the equivalent to a "Ghost" from the videogame Destiny (2014); they follow the player, guarding them from death and healing them when the player's health is low, or removing toxins (Poison).
