Artifacts and souls
by Syf1xx
Artifacts and Souls is a Forge magic mod in which mobs drop souls that a special table awakens into gold, iron, diamond and higher tiers.
What it does
Mobs drop common souls when they die. Souls can be upgraded at a crafting table through iron, gold and diamond tiers, and then awakened at a special upgrader table filled with elemental powers such as Water, Light, Earth, Cosmic and End. Used souls go into crafting recipes for amulets, staves, seas and other items, including a poisoned dagger made from a poisoned soul.
The mod also adds tools and relics. Heavy tools such as the Earth Hammer and the Cosmic Crusher break blocks in a 3x3 area, and the elemental multitools cover the same role across several powers. Relics include the Dodge Ring, which gives a chance to dodge attacks, and Flora. Eating mob souls grants properties, such as an explosion effect from a creeper soul, a burn effect from a sun zombie soul or effects from a skeleton soul. An Upgrader-Spider summoned by clicking an item upgrader block is part of the system too.
Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, with 2.4.1 for 1.20.1 as the latest file. The code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.
