Midnight Soul

Note:

This map is originally published in Simplified Chinese, which has this as a Chinese introduction for you to read.

A language pack is contained in the save file, which supports you to play in English(US). You may need to change your game language to switch. It works as a resource pack so it only works on the client which installed it!

◆ Gameplay

"Midnight Soul" is an ABA map built on Minecraft Java. You will play as either a Soul or a Soul Guardian, striving for victory through evasion and pursuit.

As a Soul, yearning to rebuild your physical form, you need to collect scattered Soul Shards and release the aura within them. When the surrounding aura becomes dense enough, a portal will emerge—charge it completely before the aura dissipates, and you can return to the living world through it, a process we call "revive".

As a Soul Guardian, tasked with maintaining the balance of the world, your objective is simple: stop the Souls. Whether by knocking them down so they can no longer sustain their existence, or by blocking their path until their aura is completely exhausted, you can cause them to "perish", eventually turning into lingering regrets that return to the earth.

More detailed gameplay and mechanics are explained in-game. You can check the in-game tutorial, which is located in the "Tutorial" tab under the Advancements menu. When you encounter a mechanic for the first time, a corresponding tip will also appear in the chat—so be sure to pay attention!
