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.

.
In reply to laaaaalg234:
hi lol
I am unable to add iron golems to my soul shard (yes it is a empty one).
Are they not supposed to work with the shard or is there just a config option I am not seeing at the moment?
Why aren't mobs dropping xp from spawners?
In reply to ST0KESTER:
Because you didn't enable it in the config.
Hey, thanks for releasing this for Fabric. I've been playing AOF3 on 1.16, and it's cool to have this!
Can/Will you update it to forge 1.15.2?
Nevermind
Will this mod still receive updates for 1.12 Minecraft? And if you don't intend to continue the development yourself, would you accept pull requests instead?
can u make forge pls
Saw this on SSundee's Crazy Craft 1.7.10 series, and had to have it. Now I'll see if CrazyCraft can be made for 1.12.2, and if so, it will be done.
I like the Mod, but I feel that you can add some new features to the idea. I use 1.12.2, please keep updated 1.12.2, I am grateful.
I hope you add new things, and thanks for the Update at 1.15.
Make a version for 1.15.1 fabric.
Make a Forge version or remove this.

Lmao
In reply to enderslime_123:
Just remove yourself enderslime, please.
Your kind is a scourge, a plague.
Anyway, I don't really get what's this mod about, I understand the soul collecting process but I don't understand what I can use them for.
A soul cage is basically a spawner ? Then why would I bother gathering souls from my spawner to craft yet another spawner ? Are there any other use ?
I'd love to see it back on Forge as well and I see you've already got plans to do it, good luck with it !
In reply to Shyning:
It's a much faster spawner that you don't have to be nearby to have it spawn mobs. And you can flip a switch to turn it on or off. (Or make the control part of an automated restocking system - your call.)
Make a Forge version. Please and thanks.
Plans for 1.14.4 forge?
In reply to Retro_Gamer_98:
When I get to it, yes.
