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:
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?
In reply to well076:
in the config file...i see...
No 1.14.4 Forge version?
For me when i put it on forge it says its a fabric and won't load via crashing my game
Do you have iron spawner??
Is there a config to disable being able to make the shard?
Hello, is there a reason why a server side config for the tier numbers would not override the client side configs?

This is a really cool mod that is not too overpowered !
However, I have two question. Is there a list somewhere of all the supported creature ?
