Souls Awakening
by Beosti
Souls Awakening, a Forge mod for 1.16.5, brings a Bleach-inspired system of spirit weapons, races and stat points into the game.
What it does
Souls Awakening draws its theme from the Bleach anime and manga by Tite Kubo. Players choose a race when they start, and the mod adds a quincy race, a shinigami spirit race and hollows. Each race carries its own abilities, which set the direction of a character's growth.
Progress runs through stat points that a player spends on attributes, so a character can be shaped toward a chosen style of combat. Spirit weapons are the mod's main equipment, and the mod changes how critical hits work by removing the natural critical effect. The mod runs on Forge for 1.16.5 only, and both the server and every player need it. The public source code is available, but the mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Choosable races
Players pick a race that defines their starting abilities, including the quincy, shinigami and hollow races.
Stat points
Stat points earned through play are spent on attributes, letting each character be built around its own strengths.
Spirit weapons
Spirit weapons are added as equipment whose power comes from the spiritual energy of the character who wields them.
No natural critical hits
The natural critical hit effect is removed, so damage follows the stats and weapons a player has chosen.

Bleach-themed survival

Who it’s for: The mod suits players who know the Bleach series and want its races and spirit weapons in a Forge 1.16.5 world. Servers that want a shared themed progression can also use it, since both sides need the mod.
