Hex's Grim Items
by Hexagrim
Hex's Grim Items adds soul-themed weapons and items to Fabric for Minecraft 1.21.1, and its core material comes from Soul Ore found deep in the Nether.
What it does
Soul Ore generates in the Nether and is rare, much like Ancient Debris. Mining it yields Melted Soul, which can be smelted into Soul Shards. Soul Shards are the core crafting material of the mod and feed the recipes for its grim weapons and items.
Several of the items are built around a reaper playstyle. Hitting an entity can steal its soul, and a right-click ability pulls souls from nearby entities in the direction the player faces. Some of these abilities cause explosions, and one item launches the player in the direction of view when used under Soul Overdose. Shift with right-click enables a flight effect. Melee damage on the weapons is high.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it and the server alone runs it. It is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric only, with one file for 1.21.1, dated 2026-02-06. No required dependency is listed for Fabric.
