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.
Here is the history of Soul Shards in GIF format:
Honestly, loved playing this mod (so far) on one of my friend's SMP worlds, and I can't wait to do more. Only issue is I am having trouble redownloading this mod manually (among about 60 [!!!] other mods) and didn't know if I needed the api.jar file too? (I am also making a private server that isn't as laggy for me and my friend/s). I saw you posted 11 hours ago, so hopefully you see this. Hope you are doing well outside of modding TehNut, and again thank you for the mods you've created, truly!
Edit: I just realized I only want the mod and don't need nor want to add a custom mechanic to the mod, so for any new modders that just want to play the mod like me, ignore the api file :)
i love your mod it reminds me of the old day but in the version that is in all the mods 3 the deaktivation with redstone doesnt work with spawners that dont have a 1600 kills or higher soul shard in them
I love this mod and it's by far my number one spawner mod. Not to be that guy but I've missed it playing 1.16.5 modded. To all the people who work on this mod thank you so much I hope your doing well and I'm excited for any and all of your future work.
The GitHub is archived sadly. I forked and updated it to 1.16.5 Fabric. Can't really do a PR.
In reply to crashniels:
can you post a download?
¿Cuándo será por 1.16.5 para forge?A 1.16 update would be great
update 1.16.5 pls
I think it's clear what im asking for.
Will there be a forge version for 1.16.5 like with your other mods?
hey, this mod is perfect for my mod pack, just wanna ask, are you gonna port to 1.16.5? I would really appreciate that

Love the mod. It is really powerful... way to powerful if I'm being honest so I would maybe change the diamond to needing a nether star.
Please update to 1.16 if you find time <3
Hey all, I'm playing with the SoulShardsRespawn-1.12.2-1.0.8-11 and the game crashed when you place or use Trapdoors on Soul Cages.
I found it by accident in SkyFactory 4 with my mobfarm which I wanted to improve... Well the server crashed.
I deleted the mod, load the server, joined in and load the world, put the mod back in and it worked again
I was able to reproduce the glitch also in singleplayer but instead of just getting kicked into the main menu like it did for me when it happened on the server, the whole game crashed.
Can you please fix it or is it already fixed in newer version?
UPDATE PLEASE
.
Will there be a 1.16+ version of Soul Shards Respawn? I don't see a branch, so I'm not sure. Thank you.
Is there a forge 1.14.4 version? If not, please add it.
We shall praise our lord and savior so that you guys update it for 1.16.1
I used to use this mod back in the days and I would love it if you updated it too 1.16.1 it would add the extra challenge I need!
