Soulbound
Soulbound is a Forge and NeoForge magic mod in which players collect souls from mobs and imbue them into wands and sacks through seals.
What it does
Players gather soul extract by defeating mobs close to a soul catalyst, then pass it through a soul solidifier to produce a solid soul. A soul is used to make wands and to imbue seals onto them. Seals come in three kinds: passive and offensive seals grant effects such as attack damage, attack speed and area-of-effect attacks when activated, while amplifying seals change the attributes of other seals. Sacks are a special wand type that accepts only amplifying seals.
Dungeons form a separate part of the mod and are reached through dungeon keystones found in the overworld. A keystone opens with a key and leads to a dimension where the dungeon is beaten. Two kinds exist: stable dungeons, which allow a single level with free exit and re-entry, and unstable dungeons, which cannot be left until their boss levels are beaten and which hold much better loot and harder mobs. Stable dungeons can have their blocks broken and placed once cleared, while a player who clears an unstable dungeon is teleported out and cannot enter it again. The dungeon content is added only when Hammerspace is present.
Soulbound is open source under the MIT License. Its files are published for Forge and NeoForge for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, and the mod runs on both client and server, so the server and every player need it. Better Spawner, Geckolib, Infiniverse and TerraBlender are required dependencies, while Hammerspace, Just Enough Items (JEI) and Patchouli are optional.
Key features
Soul collection
Mobs killed near a soul catalyst yield soul extract, which a soul solidifier turns into solid souls.
Seal imbuing
Souls imbue seals onto wands, and each seal adds its effect to the item it is placed on.
Three seal types
Passive and offensive seals give combat effects, and amplifying seals change the attributes of other seals.
Upgradeable backpack
Rows, columns and stack size of a backpack are increased by applying seals to it.
Stable and unstable dungeons
Dungeons reached by keystones come in two kinds, with different exit rules, block rules and loot.
