Ghosts (Unofficial Fabric Port)

👻 Ghosts Fabric Port — Cumulative Changelog

This release is an unofficial compatibility port of Ghosts for Minecraft 26.1.2, Fabric, and Java 25.

✨ Porting & Compatibility

• Updated the mod to work on Minecraft 26.1.2.
• Updated Fabric compatibility.
• Updated GeckoLib rendering support for GeckoLib 5.
• Built and tested with Java 25.
• Fixed runtime compatibility issues found during in-game testing.

🎨 Rendering Fixes

• Restored manual ghost glow rendering behavior based on the original reference implementation.
• Fixed the Iris warning related to geckolib:pipeline/emissive.
• Improved ghost translucency to better match the original mod behavior.
• Preserved opaque rendering for parts that should not be transparent.
• Fixed seedling ghost sprout rendering so the plant, leaves, and inner dirt block render opaquely.
• Fixed normal ghost accessories, mushrooms, and armor rendering with unwanted transparency.
• Added a small shared render helper to avoid duplicated GeckoLib bone visibility logic.

🌱 Seedling Ghost Behavior

• Reworked seedling ghost burrowing behavior.
• Seedling ghosts now actively search for valid grass or dirt blocks at night.
• They move to the center of the chosen block before burying.
• They properly descend into the block and enter a sleeping state.
• While buried, they stop moving and rotating.
• Their sprout animation continues while the ghost body sleeps underground.
• They wake up and rise during the day.
• They escape from the buried state when damaged.
• Prevented multiple seedling ghosts from using the same burrow block.
• Improved burrow searching so ghosts can find valid ground from higher positions.
• Fixed cases where seedling ghosts could get stuck underground or fail to bury correctly.

👻 Ghost Behavior

• Normal ghosts now flee when hurt.
• Ghost movement behavior now better matches the original intended interaction.
• Ghosts can still perform their owner-assistance behavior when holding supported items.

🏮 Item Placement

• Ghosts can now place:
  • Torches
  • Soul torches
  • Copper torches
  • Lanterns
  • Soul lanterns
  • Copper lanterns, including waxed and oxidized variants
• Lantern placement now supports both standing and hanging states.
• Hanging lantern placement is prioritized when valid ceiling support exists.
• Placement logic now uses the actual item being held instead of assuming only basic torches.

🍽️ Interaction Cleanup

• Removed unused glow berry feeding behavior from seedling ghosts.
• Removed unused glow berry feeding behavior from Kodamas.
• Glow berries are no longer consumed by entities that do not use them for a real function.
