Soul Items
by Danya31
Soul Items adds four progressive tiers of Soul Sword, Soul Pickaxe, Soul Axe and Soul Shovel, each gaining new abilities as it levels up.
What it does
Players skip the usual ore grind by obtaining the tools from Ancient City, where level 1 items are placed strictly inside the structure. Items appear only in Ice Box Chests that spawn in the structure's center corridors, so the early tools are tied to a specific location rather than to mining or crafting.
Each tool grows stronger through use: the sword raises its damage with every kill, the pickaxe mines resources at high speed, the axe fells a tree with one swing, and the shovel digs out large craters in seconds. Advancing through the four levels adds new effects and abilities, changing how each item is used.
The mod is a Fabric mod for 1.21 and 1.21.1, and it needs both client and server, so the server and every player must run it. It is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Fabric API is needed to run it.

How it compares
Soultide is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 that is client and server and is released under the MIT License, so it is not open source in the same sense; its focus differs from this mod's tiered tools. Organically is also Fabric for 1.21.1 and client and server, and it is open source under the MIT License, with a similar growth-through-use approach. The Soul is Fabric for 1.21.1, client and server, and open source under the MIT License.
