My Shadow
by Ghosty22866
My Shadow is a NeoForge magic mod for 1.21.1 that adds a side quest built around a cursed relic, a sword duel and a shadow companion.
What it does
The quest starts with a search for the Lost Soul, a new mob that dark skeletons only rarely spawn beside. Slaying one does not drop anything of value, but the achievements tab then gives a hint about where to go next. The route leads toward the centre of the world, down through the underground, past a study filled with monsters and monoliths that constantly give debuffs, and on to a ruined portal where a skeleton holds the next clue.
Further along, three pages scattered across a tower are needed to craft the Tome of Shadows, which gives hints about the curse. Completing it transforms the cursed relic. The final stage is the Shade boss fight. The Shade uses several attacks, can teleport and uses darkness to confuse the player, and it will not allow blocks to be placed during the duel. Shadow minions the player summons are invincible. The mod requires Geckolib, and it is released under the MIT License, so it is not open source.
