Spectre
With Spectre installed, phantom drops and a new scythe give players a weapon-based route into the phantom mechanics of the game, adding seven enchantments and a set of configuration options.
What it does
Spectre reworks how phantoms work in the game and introduces items built from their drops. The central item is the Spectre Scythe, which uses Phantom Membranes, Ghoul Silk, a Phantom Eye and two sticks as its crafting materials. The scythe is a versatile weapon that accepts seven new enchantments, and some previously existing enchantments can also be applied to it. Each enchantment is listed in the features below, along with the levels it supports and the tools it cannot be applied to.
Phantoms gain changes of their own, including a leech effect that heals the attacker when a phantom hits, and the mod adds configuration options for the phantom and for several related features. The mod requires Cloth Config API and Fabric API, and Mod Menu is optional for editing its settings in game. Spectre is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric and Quilt, with files for 1.20 – 1.20.2.
Key features
Spectre Scythe
A two-handed style weapon crafted from three Phantom Membranes, one Ghoul Silk, one Phantom Eye and two sticks.
Pursuing and Enlightened effects
Pursuing inflicts a target with the Pursuing effect, and the Enlightened effect is applied to the target when a Cultist-enchanted hit lands.
Blood Rush strength
Blood Rush grants the player a Strength effect whose power depends on its level, but only while the scythe is held in both hands and an Unwearied Antique is used in the offhand.
Cloaking and Slow Falling
Cloaking gives the player an invisibility effect without particles, and another enchantment grants Slow Falling.
Phantom Membrane drops
Looting-style enchantment does not raise item counts; instead it lets a player obtain new drops, and Connection at level two adds extra Phantom Membranes.

How it compares
Reworked Phantoms is a Fabric mod for 1.20 – 1.20.6 that is server required with client optional, and it is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. No More Phantoms covers a wider set of loaders and versions, 1.18 – 1.21.8, under the Apache License 2.0, and it is not open source. Spectre differs from both by adding a weapon and enchantments rather than only changing phantom behavior.
