Soul Shards is a simple mod that allows you to gather the souls of the creatures you slay into gem fragments.
Getting Started
By default, the mod is gated to be placed just after entering the Nether. To obtain a shard, create a structure and right click the center with a diamond, like so:
The first kill you get with a Shard binds that shard to the killed entity. Shards must be on your hotbar or in your offhand. It will only receive souls from that entity from then on. To speed up the process, you can right click a Mob Spawner that contains the bound entity to consume the spawner and increase the shard's stored souls by 200 (configurable).
To efficiently gain souls, you should look into getting the Vile Sword, which adds another soul per kill, or the Soul Stealer enchantment, which adds an additional soul per kill per level. The maxiumum amount of souls you can obtain per kill is 7 (1 base + 1 Vile Sword + 5 max level Soul Stealer).
Once you begin progressing through the tiers, you should craft a Soul Cage. A Soul Cage will let you insert your Soul Shard and will begin spawning the bound entity indefinitely.
| Tier | Kill requirement | Checks for player | Checks for light | Checks for Redstone | Amount spawned | Cooldown in seconds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 64 | true | true | false | 2 | 20 |
| 2 | 128 | true | true | false | 4 | 10 |
| 3 | 256 | false | true | false | 4 | 5 |
| 4 | 512 | false | false | false | 4 | 5 |
| 5 | 1024 | false | false | true | 6 | 2 |
Modpacks
Soul Shards Respawn can be used any modpack. If you still ask me, I will say you can't use it.
Additional Information
This mod is a rewrite of Soul Shards: The Old Ways. I have moved it to it's own project due to SgtPunishment being extremely inactive.

Is there an ETA on a Forge version for 1.14.4? (Sorry to be one of these people, just curious)
Hi TehNut,
i love SoulShards, it's a really powerfull mod, i'm coming from SSTOW to this update, simply because of TiC modifiers, that where missing in the previous project, but i cannot craft it, ingots are smelting in the smeltery, but i can't make the tool parts.
i found nothing about the toolparts in the SoulShards config, but they are appairing into JEI, and i can give them and use them, and it's working. (any tierable way ? because it give's only one soul per kill. xD)
any idea how i can fix this ?
MC Version : 1.12.2
modpack : custom modpack
mod version : 1.1.1-13
edit : using corrupted ingots with any TiC/PlusTiC tool works, only forging parts with the smeltery seems broken.
edit2 : sneak-click with an empty hand seems not giving the shard back like in TOW, you need to break the spawner to get it back.
Suggestion: Might it be possible to figure out why this particular mod is invisible to the ATLauncher's mod download feature? The devs recently added the ability to pull mods right from CurseForge on their launcher which is a wonderful little feature, and I feel like a lot of small mods like this could benefit from it as long as they actually show up there. I think Curse insisting that this is still a 1.12 mod might have something to do with it.
In reply to Mummelpuffin:
This is 100% out of my control. You should bring this up with the ATL devs.
For some reason i cant seem to get iron golems to bind to a soul shard. im not sure if this is intended or not.
Using this mod in a pack on 1.12, however, the mobs that I am killing do not seem to drop experience. Killed a few hundred and did not get a single point of XP. Is this a config thing or is it a bug?
Just a heads up 1.14.3 snapshot breaks this mod. Mojang changed some method that this uses and now it crashes on launch but it worked fine in 1.14.2

Love this mod!
I'm not sure if this is intended or not, but Spawned drowned don't seem to be able to drop Tridents 1.14.2
There is a glitch in 1.12.2 version - when you built this 3x3 structure and then got Unbound Soul Shard, it still remains UNBOUNDED with no tier progression. Tried to kill animals and mobs in creative and survival - no success. It just stays unbounded. But in a creative menu you can take Tier 1-5 Shards and they count the souls properly
Exact same issue.
In reply to quethalm:
I am not able to reproduce this. A freshly created shard from the multiblock is able to collect souls for me.
Well I am using specialmobs.
I killed one (brainyzombie) and now any soulshard I have, or have created since, remain unbound and will only take the soul of the above mentioned zombie breed. If multiple gems are in my inventory it will place one soul in each of them until filled, if I remove the afficted gem from my inventory no new souls will be accepted into a blank gem, only the above type of zombie.
Try recreating the issue with a mod introduced mob?
In reply to quethalm:
you have to have the soul shard in hotbar...
In reply to quethalm:
Every other mob entity I have tried works as intended. This seems more of an issue with how Special Mobs handles it's entities.
Is it possible to turn on or off the spawner?
thank you
In reply to synapps:
There is a handy dandy chart right up there in the description that answers this.
In reply to TehNut:
ah yes yes I was not careful that it was for that
Thank you for updating to 1.14!
I absolutely love the soul shards mod line, and I'm super happy to see it continued, but I seem to be having an issue in the latest snapshot/fabric version.
Suppressed: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net/fabricmc/fabric/events/PlayerInteractionEvent
Is this my fault, or did Fabric remove something that the mod needs to work?
