It's finally here!
Entirely made in vanilla, this datapack adds ghosts that will haunt your world to the game! Equip yourself with sci-fi ghostbusting equipment replicated from the world of Ghostbusters and chase them down! In all seriousness, this pack is my personnal love letter to the Ghostbusters franchise. I tried my very best to bring the magic of hunting ghosts, just like Ghostbusters did in it's many movies and games, without breaking the core gameplay of Minecraft too much. This pack as a whole isn't much, but it's made by a fan for other fans. I hope you enjoy!
