Just a Ghost
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.
Compatibility
This mod is compatible with the Guard Villagers mod! This means that when you kill a Guard Villager from that mod there's a chance that a Ghost can spawn too! The mod is coded so that any entity tagged as an illager will also have a chance to spawn a Ghost.
