The binding of souls: rekindled
by dannylmx
The Binding of Souls: Rekindled is a Forge magic mod for 1.20.1 that adds soul knives and other soul-based items, plus ways to obtain and craft souls.
What it does
Souls are collected from undead mobs that the player has killed, and the mod adds several knives and other items that make use of them. Specific souls can be crafted, so obtaining them is not limited to a single drop. Players can also use the mod to banish other mobs or players from an area, a feature the author added with lore in mind for servers.
The mod extends the base game with new content such as the nether ruby and uranium ores. It draws on many references to indie titles, which shows in its items and themes. The mod is installed on the client and the server, so both sides run it and every player on a server that uses it needs it too. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with 0.5.1 as the latest build on the beta channel. It is released under CC0 1.0 Universal and is not open source.
Key features
Soul knives
A family of knives is added, and each one draws on the souls the player has gathered.
Soul collection
Souls come from undead mobs the player has killed, and they can be stored for later crafting.
Crafting specific souls
Players can craft particular souls instead of relying only on random drops from mobs.
New ores
Ores such as nether ruby and uranium are added to the world, expanding the base game's materials.
