SoulShard
by kikipunk
SoulShard lets players collect souls from creature spawners, then spend them on altars, enchantments and lodestone upgrades in survival and multiplayer worlds.
What it does
Spawners can be picked up with a Silk Touch tool, leaving an empty spawner item that keeps the creature type it held. A Soulstealer enchantment, available as a book or from the enchanting table, is used to take a soul from a creature. Mob shards host soul mobs, and the shards are used as the main currency of the mod.
An altar is upgraded with one lodestone and one soul, which lets it make further shards. Spawners react to redstone: dropping redstone dust on one activates a redstone control. Spawner conditions decide which mobs spawn, so a player can set a shard to produce a specific creature under known rules.
Installation requires the server to run SoulShard, while players may add it as well. The mod works in survival and multiplayer, and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Files cover 1.20 – 1.21.4, and the creative commons license applies, with the code not open source.
