Soul Sword Mod
Soul Sword Mod adds a Forge sword that binds a spirit to a living entity, where the bound minion follows the player and the blade charges as the minion is defeated.
What it does
Right-clicking a living entity with the Soul Sword binds its spirit to the blade. The bound minion is highlighted with a glowing aura and follows the player through the journey. Only one soul can be bound at a time, so binding a new soul releases the previous one.
Full power for the sword requires a sacrifice: a soul must be consumed. Defeating the Bound Minion with the Soul Sword charges the blade with raw energy, after which it begins to shine and glint, and the player is notified. The minion is loyal and targets hostile monsters while ignoring its friends, and it stays for five minutes before returning to the soul realm. The mod is published for Forge 1.20.1, with the Soul Sword as a harvesting tool that deals a base damage of 102 plus the sword bonus, and a passive effect that restores a fraction of a heart on each successful hit.
Because the environment is client and server, both the server and every player need the mod. The latest Forge file is 1.0.1 for 1.20.1, dated 2026-01-08, and the first release came out on 2025-12-26. The source code is public, but the license is custom and not open source, so redistributing modified versions requires express permission.
