Additional Shards
Players who want a few extra potion effects from echo shards can add Additional Shards, a Forge mod with six new consumable shards for Minecraft 1.19.2.
What it does
Echo shards become the base material for a set of new shard items, and each shard is consumed to grant a potion effect. Crafting a shard uses echo shards together with potion effects, so the recipes connect the mod to the vanilla echo shard that Minecraft already provides. The mod is simple by design and gives echo shards a use beyond the Recovery Compass, which is otherwise the only common purpose for them in regular Minecraft.
The shards are most useful in a world that already has many mods, because they add a practical role to items that otherwise have little use. Haste is one of the shards and is noted as a good addition for an ordinary survival world. The mod needs to be installed on both the Minecraft client and the Minecraft server, and it is released under the BSD 3-Clause License, which makes it open source. Files are published for Forge only, and the mod covers 1.19.2 alone, with the latest build being 1.0.1 for 1.19.2.
Key features
Six consumable shards
Six new shard items can be eaten or used to receive a potion effect once they are crafted.
Potion effects from crafting
Each shard is made from echo shards and potion effects, so the effect comes from the recipe.
Haste shard
One shard grants the haste effect, which is among the more useful choices for mining in survival.
Echo shard use
Echo shards, which regular Minecraft uses for little else, become the base ingredient for the new items.

How it compares
Echo Crossbow is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 with the same client and server environment, under the MIT License, and is not open source. Echo Spyglass runs for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt on 1.21.3, and only the server needs it, so players can join without installing it. Echo Compass covers 1.21.2 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, is server required with optional client, and is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later. Additional Shards is the only one of these that targets 1.19.2 and needs both sides.
