soulhome

SoulHome is a Forge and NeoForge storage mod that gives each player a portable base they keep with them. Its design takes inspiration from Spectre Key, a key-based teleport item from Random Things, and the mod is built around a low barrier to entry, with only two items to learn at first. Patchouli is required, and the guidebook it provides is the main entry point, opened by combining a book with the SoulKey.

The soul key is made by combining an ender pearl with three iron in a shaped recipe, and the recipe consumes the SoulKey when it is used. Holding the Use button for its full duration expands a circle at the player's feet, and other entities inside the circle are transported along with the player, which covers bringing friends or livestock.

Progression relies on advancements and the Patchouli guide, with only a small amount of progression available. Players can build multiblock structures that grant soul buffs, for example a farm structure that increases the food gained when eating, or an armoury that grants toughness. The buffs are meant to be effects that potions cannot provide. The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
