Minecraft Ghosts — Version 1.1

A multiplayer datapack to add a respawn timeout, and put waiting players into spectator mode

  • Data Pack Format 1
  • Designed for Minecraft 1.14 Multiplayer

Installation

  1. Place the entire pack into <world_dir>/datapacks. If Github is being used by command line, simply clone this repository into that path.
  2. As operator, execute the following commands:
/reload
/function ghosts:init
/scoreboard players set #ghosts_timeout ghosts_variables <ticks>

Where <ticks> is the number of Game Ticks before respawn. Use the following table to calculate units of time:

Unit of Time Conversion
Day N days = N × 1728000
Hour N hours = N × 72000
Minute N minutes = N × 1200
Second N seconds = N × 20
  1. In-game, have a player stand at the ghost respawn point. Tag them with ghosts_spawnpoint. This spawnpoint should be set in a forced-loaded chunk. If placed outside of the Spawn Chunks, the chunk can be manually force-loaded with the operator command /forceload ~ ~ executed at the location of the ghost spawnpoint.

Features

  • On death, a player is assigned a scoreboard tag that will force the player into spectator mode, making them "ghosts"
  • After an arbitrarily wait time, the player is untagged and respawns.
  • The timeout counter is handled by a fake scoreboard entity, allowing the counter to continue ticking while players are offline. The timer will stop during server restarts or downtime.
  • "Ghosts" are shown a conveniently formatted countdown display at the bottom of their screen.

Operator Manipulation

  • A ghost may be respawned immediately by tagging them with ghosts_revive
  • The wait time can always be adjusted by re-running /scoreboard players set #ghosts_timeout ghosts_variables <ticks>
  • The countdown timer is handled globally. The countdown timer for all players can be manually adjusted with the command /scoreboard players add|remove #ghosts_time variables <ticks>, where 1 tick is equal to 1/20th of a second.

Uninstallation

  1. As operator, execute /function ghosts:eject
  2. Delete the pack in <world_dir>/datapacks
  3. As operator, execute /reload
