Forsaken Souls Expansion

# 🛡️ The Forsaken Souls Expansion Enhance your Minecraft journey with powerful equipment forged from ancient spirits! The Forsaken Souls Expansion introduces the **Soul** – a new core resource obtained by smelting Soul Sand or Soul Soil. Harvest these souls to forge durable tools, compress them into heavy **Soul Ingots**, or channel them into dark magic to craft functional Spawn Eggs and Monster Spawners! The Soul Armor is perfectly balanced to bridge the gap between Diamond and Netherite gear, while providing unique utility to aid your survival. --- ## ⚒️ How it Works * 🧪 **Harvesting Spirits:** Start by smelting Soul Sand or Soul Soil in a standard furnace to extract a **Soul**. * 🥚 **Spawn Eggs:** Combine 8 Souls with a specific mob-drop ingredient in the crafting table to create its respective Spawn Egg. !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/8798f55c8163175e1d26a1dbaac4c9a9da585b93.png) * **Monster Spawners:** Combine 1 Soul with 4 Netherite Ingots and 4 Chains to forge a functional Monster Spawner. !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/0da9d5f42e784feb9a9e41664be5bdffcb937a87.png) * 🪙 **Soul Ingots:** Compress 9 individual Souls into 1 heavy **Soul Ingot** to upgrade your equipment. !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/636334b2a0e27d0733ee574e6fe0e967717a52ca.png) * ⚔️ **Intuitive Blacksmithing:** Crafting tools and armor follows standard vanilla layouts. Just substitute vanilla components with your new Soul Ingots. !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/d1cbb34acb1d84deb75055f7894123c6ecf795b6.png) * 🏆 **Progression:** Unlock a brand-new set of custom in-game advancements as you master the power of souls. --- ## 💎 Featured Items Here is a showcase of the complete armory, toolset, and core items added by this expansion: !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/20866b7e8b435a5599f7869221b5a4ef6d32bc94.png) <details> <summary>🔍 Spoilers (Click to preview Equipment Stats & Craftable Mobs)</summary> ### Soul Armor Stats & Set Bonus * **Full Set Bonus:** * **Permanent:** Resistance I * **While Sneaking:** Fire Resistance I * **If in the Nether:** Upgrades to Resistance II * **Soul Helmet:** 3 Armor / 2.5 Armor Toughness !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/c4acb1ceb66946f97251231f9ac3b8a2aa316c2a.png) * **Soul Chestplate:** 8 Armor / 2.5 Armor Toughness !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/4979bdbd543083fe6338d1100624926e6ddbdf25.png) * **Soul Leggings:** 6 Armor / 2.5 Armor Toughness !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/802e682045efdc9dbfd9bfb5deb661cb0068b343.png) * **Soul Boots:** 3 Armor / 2.5 Armor Toughness !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/a4995444f501c2157f480f8f67fd31d00a162bfc.png) --- ### 🥚 List of all 34 Craftable Spawn Eggs You can forge spawn eggs for the following entities using 8 Souls + their signature drop: * Armadillo, Bee, Blaze, Breeze, Chicken, Cod, Cow, Creeper, Enderman, Ghast, Glow Squid, Guardian, Horse, Iron Golem, Magma Slime, Nautilus, Phantom, Pig, Pufferfish, Rabbit, Salmon, Sheep, Shulker, Skeleton, Slime, Spider, Squid, Tropical Fish, Turtle, Villager, Warden, Wither Skeleton, Wolf, Zombie. </details> --- ## ⚠️ IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS This datapack **requires** its corresponding Resource Pack to display textures correctly. Without it, items will appear as default vanilla objects or broken textures. * 💡 **Note on Recipe Previews:** Due to technical engine limitations, looking up a recipe in the recipe book *without* owning the required Soul Ingots in your inventory will temporarily display the underlying vanilla placeholder block instead of the custom texture. !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/af22bc58744baa17a288e373af4576252b4d67de.png) --- ## 🛠️ Installation 1. **Datapack:** Place the `.zip` file into your `world/datapacks` folder. 2. **Resource Pack:** Place the `.zip` file into your `resourcepacks` folder and enable it in-game. * 💡 Note: Ensure you download both files. You can find them under the **Versions** tab inside your preferred release. --- ## ⚙️ Compatibility & Technical Notes * **Expansion Compatibility:** Fully compatible with my Armor & Tools Expansion. * **🚨 CRITICAL SECURITY NOTE FOR SERVER ADMINS:** To achieve custom textures, this pack utilizes sensitive vanilla technical blocks with custom `item_models`: 1. **The Soul** is based on the **Jigsaw Block**.
