Harken Scythe: Resharpened
by ACGaming
Harken Scythe: Resharpened is a Forge magic mod about reaping souls and blood, with scythes and glaives that collect essence from mobs.
What it does
Scythes and glaives with reaping mechanics extract souls and blood from mobs and store them as Essence. Essence is then used in altars, crucibles and vessels to craft items, perform rituals and enhance gear. Rituals take place entirely in-game, without separate crafting GUIs, and an Ancient Necronomicon can resurrect souls back into living bodies.
Beyond the reaping tools, the mod adds livingmetal and biomass forging for self-repairing weapons, armor and tools, along with soulweave and bloodweave tailoring for armor that benefits essence collection. Players also meet new foes, including cave-dwelling Spectral Miners and the Harbinger mini-boss.
Harken Scythe: Resharpened is published for Forge 1.12.2 only, where it is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. The latest Forge file is 1.5.1, released 2025-08-03, under All rights reserved; the code is not open source, though a source repository and issue tracker are public.
Key features

How it compares
Omens of Darkness is a Forge 1.12.2 mod that is server-side only and not open source, so players join without installing it. XYZ Scythes is client and server, MIT-licensed and open source, with files for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4, so it targets a different version range. Reaper's Descendant is client and server for 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, and Harken Scythe: Resharpened is not tied to those later builds.
