What it does

A Gestalt is awakened by first crafting an empty Soul Vessel and using soul fire on it to create a dormant soul, then inflicting a mob with that soul and harvesting the result. Crying obsidian is used to craft the brush needed for the process. The author describes the mod as a stand-style design that carries no setting or characters from any existing franchise, and its design targets casual single-player and co-op play rather than balanced PvP.

The Gestalt can fight alongside its owner by throwing punches and guarding against foes, and it can help movement by pulling the player up ledges or letting them slide down walls. Holding G and right-clicking rips the soul out of the body, letting the Gestalt reach a short distance away while the real body stays vulnerable and still takes hits and hunger. Ending the mode happens by right-clicking the body or pressing G and right-clicking again. The distance reachable is set by the Gestalt's RNG stat.

The mod is published under All rights reserved and is not open source, although its source code is publicly available. Its code was largely written with AI assistance, and the author states that AI was also used in other parts of the development process. Files exist for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with the latest file 0.3.5 for 1.21.1 dated 2026-07-27 on the alpha channel. Installation covers the server and each player's game.

What the author says

disclaimer: The mod is designed for a casual signle player/coop experience, pvp balancing is non existant. The mods code has been writen to large parts by Ai. Ai has not been used for any other part of the process. A Gestalt is an invasive soul you'll have to implant into a mob, harvest and awaken within yourself…
