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:
¿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!
Love using this mod! This mod adds a fun challenge with getting all of the mob kills needed to be able to spawn them, and providing easy farms for said mobs. Will it be ported to 1.16.1?
1.16 fabric anytime soon?
Is it possible to switch the startup status of the spawner?Hi. Why a spawned entities from soulcage with shard (tier5) is not drop experience?
