Mods for Final Fantasy XIV

Eorzea is a terminal multiplexer

Seven plugins by Johnneylee Jack Rollins. Most bring your own computer into the game: a real terminal, your desktop's windows, your own classic games, an MCP server for AI clients, and a local AI that lives on your GPU. Two are simpler: a lantern your friends see lit, and a soft pointer that shows the way. Everything is open source, built in public, and runs on your machine.

Ghostty for FFXIV: terminal windows floating around an aetheryte crystal over a night sea
Honest status

These are early. Most of what these pages describe is built and covered by tests that run outside the game, and much of it has not yet been verified in game. Each mod's page says where it stands. In-game screenshots and clips are still to be captured; their slots are marked.

The mods

Ghostty for FFXIV: terminal windows floating around an aetheryte crystal over a night sea, with a small ghost

Eorzea is a terminal multiplexer

A real terminal in the game world: a glass drop-down, floating windows, screens pinned to walls or following you as pets, full screen, themes, and shells on your own machine.

XivMcp: an aetheryte crystal wired to tool cards and an approval prompt, over a night sea

An MCP server inside FFXIV

A Model Context Protocol server inside the game. AI clients read game state and data over loopback; anything that changes your game waits for your approval in game.

XivDesktop: an app grid window under an aetheryte crystal, with a launcher palette and workspace cards

Your Linux desktop, inside the game

Your Linux desktop inside the game: a keyboard-first launcher, nine workspaces and a taskbar for real application windows shown as panels in the world, on top of Ghostty.

XivArcade: a handheld console with a pixel crystal on its screen, under an aetheryte over a night sea

Your own classics, in the world, saves in step

A library for the classic games you own: started in RetroArch on the Linux host, shown as panels in the world, with every save kept in step across your machines. Bring your own games; none are downloaded.

XivWayfinder: a glowing bead with a trail of small beads and a pointing glove, under an aetheryte

Which way to go, softly

A pulsing bead a couple of yalms ahead and the game's own pointing glove show the way to your map flag, your quest's next step or a spot you name, around walls when vnavmesh is installed. It only points; it never moves your character.

XivLantern: a warm paper lantern under an aetheryte crystal, friends' lanterns in the night sky

Light a lantern for your friends

A friend list with presence, 1:1 chat that waits and channels of your own, peer to peer over iroh, with an opt-in channel for the author's signed announcements. Off until you turn it on; nothing from the game is sent.

Almanac: an open book under an aetheryte crystal, with question and answer cards

Local AI for FFXIV, on your own GPU

Local AI for FFXIV: a setup wizard that fits a model to your GPU, an in-game chat with a model on your own PC using XivMcp's tools, and a benchmark that feeds a public leaderboard.

How they fit together

Each plugin works alone, and they talk to each other through Dalamud IPC when they are installed side by side. Ghostty puts terminals and, on Linux, desktop windows into the world as panels. XivDesktop sits on top of it with a launcher, workspaces and a taskbar. XivMcp exposes the game to AI clients, with an in-game approval for anything that changes your game. Almanac runs a local model and uses XivMcp's tools to answer questions about your game. XivArcade shows your own classic games as Ghostty panels, and XivDesktop's launcher finds them. XivWayfinder and XivLantern stand alone, and each offers IPC for other plugins to call.

Install

One repository for all of them, or build any of them yourself as a dev plugin. Both paths are kept on purpose.

https://spacegho.st/mods/ffxiv/plugins.json

In game: /xlsettingsExperimentalCustom Plugin Repositories → paste, +, Save and Close. The plugin repository page walks through it, explains test builds, and covers the build-it-yourself path for every mod.
