Rite Of Returning

1.4.5 — Soul Spear particle return + model update

Changed the Soul Spear behavior:

• When the spear hits the ground/block, it now immediately turns into soul particles.
• It no longer sits/sticks in the ground first.
• When the particles are returning, if they reach the player before the return timer finishes, the spear returns early.
• Replaced the spear model with your uploaded Soul Spear .bbmodel.
• Extracted and added the matching spear texture.
• Kept the Jamal-style source zip/build layout.

1.4.6 — Broadsword + Thalleous model replacements

Added the two weapon models:

• Soul Sword model was added to SoulFire Broadsword.
• Void Blade model was added to Death’s Thalleous.

They were added the same way as the Soul Dagger and Soul Cutlass models:

• Converted from .bbmodel into vanilla item model JSON.
• Used texture key "0".
• Used face refs "#0".
• Converted UVs using the Blockbench project resolution.
• Added/updated matching item textures.
• Preserved the uploaded .bbmodel files inside the source.

1.4.7 — Broadsword + Thalleous registered as swords

Updated sword registration/tagging:

• Confirmed SoulFire Broadsword uses SwordItem.
• Confirmed Death’s Thalleous uses SwordItem.
• Added both weapons to sword-related tags so other mods/systems can detect them as swords:
  • minecraft:sword
  • minecraft:swords
  • minecraft:weapons/sword
  • minecraft:weapons/swords
  • forge:swords
  • forge:tools/swords
  • forge:weapons/swords
  • c:swords
  • c:tools/swords

1.4.8 — Added Death Vex

Added a new hostile mob:

• New mob: Death Vex
• Looks like a vanilla Vex.
• Uses your uploaded soul/death vex texture.
• Holds a Soul Spear.
• Can throw Soul Spear projectiles.
• Added Death Vex spawn egg.
• Added renderer, lang entry, item model, and texture setup.
• Soul Spears thrown by Death Vex return as particles and disappear instead of giving players free Soul Spears.

Original 1.4.8 spawning setup:

• Death Vex could spawn around pillager-related spawning.
• Added pillager-outpost biome modifier.
• Added extra spawn hook near pillagers.

1.4.9 — Death Vex stat and spawn update

Changed Death Vex stats:

• Health changed to 30 HP.
• Attack damage changed to 15.
• Death Vex Soul Spear throws now use 15 base spear damage.

Changed spawning:

• Removed pillager-only spawning.
• Removed pillager-outpost-only biome modifier.
• Death Vex now spawn in fixed groups of 3.
• Death Vex can spawn across:
  • Overworld biomes
  • Nether biomes
  • End biomes

1.5.0 — Soul Spear soul command

Added a new /ror command for changing the Soul Spear’s soul count.

New command:

/ror spear souls set <amount>

Added alias:

/ror soul_spear souls set <amount>

Rules:

• Player must be holding the Soul Spear in their main hand.
• The command changes the spear’s own soul counter.
• It does not change the player’s global soul count.
• After changing the value, the spear is re-sanitized so it keeps the proper unbreakable/enchantment behavior.
