124's SoulCraft
124's SoulCraft is a Forge equipment mod built around soul weapons that grow as the player uses them.
What it does
Soul weapons are the mod's core: they gain strength by killing mobs, which improves the soul attached to each weapon. Because a weapon keeps growing, it can stay with a player for the whole journey instead of being replaced by stronger gear. Each soul weapon has its own skill set and attacks different attributes, and a soul bag gives an extra life with an effect similar to a Totem of Undying.
The soul system is a new capability named Soul, and a player gets it by using a key soul. The key is made from soul pieces, which come from slipping a soul: a weapon slips soul pieces from mobs, and other players can also be used as a source. Empty soul weapons are crafted from other materials and then filled. The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files exist for Forge 1.20.1 only, and the latest is 1.0.1.4 for 1.20.1, released 2026-07-30.

Use cases
Long single-world journeys
A player can keep one soul weapon from the start of a survival world through to the end, since it grows instead of being replaced.
Harder fights
Players who struggle with strong mobs can use growing soul weapons and the soul bag's extra life to get through difficult encounters.
Who it’s for: Players who want equipment that grows with them over a long survival run, and players on Forge 1.20.1 servers who want a shared soul system.

Soul Armory is a Forge option for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 under the MIT License, and it is open source, which 124's SoulCraft is not.
