Bottled Souls
by CrSimple_
Bottled Souls lets players capture a mob's soul into a bottle and release it at a chosen location, with a blacklist and datapack-friendly configuration.
What it does
A player uses a bottle on a mob to capture its soul and store it inside the bottle. The captured soul can later be released at a location the player picks, so the same bottle can move a mob's soul from one place to another. Which mobs may be captured is controlled by a blacklist, and the blacklist works like a configuration system that server owners can edit.
The mod supports a tag-based blacklist, so datapacks can extend which mobs are excluded without a new build. It needs Fabric API as a required dependency, and it is open source under the MIT License. Public links cover the source code and the issue tracker. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files target 1.19.4 – 1.21.11, with 1.0a-1.20.1 as the latest Fabric file for 1.20.1, published on 2026-04-14.
On a server, a player with OP level 4 or the matching LuckPerms permission can run the reload command to apply changes to the configuration file without restarting. The mod is compatible with LuckPerms as an optional dependency, so permission control can follow the server's existing setup.
Key features
Capture mob souls
A bottle captures the soul of a mob the player uses it on, and the soul stays stored inside the bottle.
Release at a chosen location
A captured soul can be released at a location the player selects, rather than only where the bottle was used.
Configuration reload
A reload command applies changes to the configuration file, and it is limited to operators or the matching LuckPerms permission.

How it compares
Bottled Allays is a Fabric and Quilt mod for 1.19 – 1.20.1 that is server-side only and open source under the MIT License. Capture Egg also uses the MIT License and is open source, but targets Fabric alone for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 and is client and server. Bottled Souls differs from both in that it is client and server and covers 1.19.4 – 1.21.11.
