Soul Gauntlet
Soul Gauntlet is a Forge magic mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that adds a weapon built around stealing the souls of enemies.
What it does
The gauntlet is a weapon whose main function is to capture the souls of the creatures it defeats. Stolen souls feed the weapon's evolution, so the gauntlet changes as a player collects more of them. Items in the mod raise the chance that a soul is stolen, letting players tune how quickly they gather souls during a fight.
The mod also brings original bosses, each with a soul of its own, and new mobs that carry souls. A storyline continues in Part 2, so the adventure extends past the first release. Geckolib is required and must be installed alongside Soul Gauntlet for the mod to start.
Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with 0.0.1 as the latest file. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
