Welcome to Village Spirits! This mod adds ghostly versions of villagers and animals to your Minecraft world. When creatures die, they don't just disappear - they become spirits that roam your world at night!

Villager spirits

What Are Spirits?

Spirits are ghostly versions of normal mobs. They look transparent and mysterious, appearing only when it's dark or stormy outside. During the day, they become invisible and you can't interact with them.

The mod includes 6 different types of spirits:

Spirit Villager - A ghostly villager
Spirit Pig - A ghostly pig
Spirit Sheep - A ghostly sheep
Spirit Cow - A ghostly cow
Spirit Chicken - A ghostly chicken
Spirit Iron Golem - A ghostly iron golem

When Do Spirits Appear?

Spirits become visible and can be interacted with during:

Night time - When the sun goes down
Rain - When it's raining
Thunderstorms - When there's lightning and thunder

How to Cure Spirits?

Want to bring a spirit back to life? You can cure them!

Wait for night, rain, or a thunderstorm (spirits must be visible)
Hold an Enchanted Golden Apple in your hand
Right-click on the spirit
The spirit will transform back into a normal mob!

Spirit Villagers have a special ability:

Give them Soul Sand or Soul Soil (right-click at night, during rain, or during thunderstorms)
They will reward you with 1-3 XP points
The Soul Sand or Soul Soil will be consumed

This is a great way to get some extra experience points!
