Soulified
by TheMrCheeky
Soulified is a Data pack that makes vanilla Minecraft mobs tougher, faster and deadlier, with permanent Dark Souls-inspired buffs applied when they spawn.
What it does
Soulified transforms the mobs of the base game through a data pack rather than a Java mod. Each mob gets its buffs at spawn, and the effects persist for the life of that mob. Existing worlds keep their current mobs, and only newly spawned mobs receive the changes, so a world can be extended without resetting it.
The data pack is placed in the datapacks folder of a world, then loaded with a reload command in game, and the datapack list should show it as enabled. Mob behavior is defined in function files under data/soulified/function, one per mob, so a server owner can adjust individual mobs. The mod is built for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt at 1.21 – 1.21.10, and the server requires it while clients may leave it out. The code is under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Soulified is a server-side tool for the Mobs and Cursed categories and pairs with the Soulified add-on packs. Four other catalog mods require it: Soulified Endermanoverhaul, Soulified IllagerInvasion, Soulified Creeperoverhaul and Soulified EternalNether. Server owners who want a harder, Souls-like progression in vanilla Minecraft can apply it directly.
Key features
Spawn-time buffs
Each vanilla mob receives a set of permanent buffs when it spawns, giving a Souls-like difficulty.
Per-mob function files
Mob behavior lives in function files named after each mob, which can be edited to change individual mobs.
Only new mobs affected
The changes apply only to mobs spawned after the datapack is enabled, so existing mobs stay as they were.
Enable in game
Placing the datapack in a world's datapacks folder and running a reload command activates it without a restart.
