BetterSoulStone
by chenshuideyi
BetterSoulStone adds Soul Stones to the Curios world, a set of customizable artifacts that players craft, upgrade and wear in dedicated accessory slots.
What it does
Soul Stones are crafted, upgraded and equipped through the Curios API, so each stone sits in a dedicated accessory slot and can be swapped for another power. Each stone grants a passive ability, and the stones cover utility effects and combat buffs. Some stones lock their slot in place, while others open the way to stronger combinations.
Many vanilla mobs and custom entities spawn carrying their own unique Soul Stones. Each stone gives its holder specialized attributes and AI behavior, such as resilience against zombies or evasion against Endermen. A player who defeats a creature carrying a stone has a chance to take it, which can then be worn. The mod is for Forge 1.20.1 and runs on client and server.
