Relive the Final Moments
Spectral Replay adds a haunting layer of immersion to your server by ensuring death is not easily forgotten.
When a player dies, their final moments are captured. When others approach the site of the tragedy later, a spectral reenactment plays out before their eyes.
Perfect for RPG, Hardcore, and Survival servers looking for atmosphere and environmental storytelling.

- Death Replays: Automatically records the last ~10 seconds of a player's life.
- PVP Reenactments: Fully supports combat deaths. The ghost of the killer appears alongside the victim, replaying the battle frame-by-frame.
- Proximity System: Ghosts are not static statues. They lie in wait and only materialize when a living player explores the area, creating genuine jump-scare moments.
- Immersive Effects: Uses
particles, transparency, and custom soundscapes (ethereal screams, heartbeats) to set the mood.Code (Text):SCULK_SOUL
- Citizens Integration: Powered by Citizens for smooth, realistic NPC movements, armor, and item usage.
- Optimized Performance: Uses asynchronous processing for recording and saving. Ghosts have a "lifecycle" and fade away after being viewed a certain number of times to keep the server clean.

How it Works
- A player dies (to a mob, fall damage, or another player).
- The plugin saves the last few seconds of their movement and actions.
- Later, an unsuspecting player walks near the death location.
- The area darkens, sounds play, and the ghosts materialize to relive the death.
- Once the replay finishes, the ghosts fade back into the ether.
