# Soul Shards Despawn<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Adds balanced & configurable spawners for any mob, modded or vanilla!<\/p>\n
It is **highly** recommended you use a mod like JEI (or REI) for exploring the recipes in this mod.<\/p>\n
## Progression<\/p>\n
This mod requires getting to the nether before it can be started.<\/p>\n
### Getting started<\/p>\n
To get started with this mod you will need to create a soul shard. You will need a diamond and a multiblock of the form:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Once you have placed these blocks simply right-click the glowstone with the diamond in your hand.<\/p>\n
### Getting souls<\/p>\n
Now that you have a shard you need some souls to put in it. You can fill the shard by having it in your offhand or
\nhotbar when killing mobs. The first mob you kill will bind the shard to that mob type and from then on it will only
\ncount kills of that type. You can craft it on its own to remove the binding (and kills).<\/p>\n
There are 5 tiers of soul shard by default:<\/p>\n
| Tier | Kills | Doesn’t need nearby player | Ignores light level | Controllable via redstone | Spawn interval (seconds) | Spawn amount |
\n| —- | —– | ———————- | —————————- | —————————-|———————— | ——– |
\n| 1 | 64 | \u274c | \u274c | \u274c | 20 | 2 |
\n| 2 | 128 | \u274c | \u274c | \u274c | 10 | 4 |
\n| 3 | 256 |\u2714\ufe0f| \u274c | \u274c | 5 | 4 |
\n| 4 | 512 |\u2714\ufe0f|\u2714\ufe0f| \u274c | 5 | 4 |
\n| 5 | 1024 |\u2714\ufe0f|\u2714\ufe0f|\u2714\ufe0f| 2 | 6 |<\/p>\n
To speed up the process you can use a vile sword, which adds an extra soul per kill. Alternatively there is the soul
\nstealer enchantment which adds an extra soul per level. You can even combine them to make the ultimate weapon for soul
\nthievery (vile sword + 5 levels soul steal = 7 per kill).<\/p>\n
### Spawning mobs<\/p>\n
OK so now you’ve got your shard, filled with the ~~screams of your victims you monster~~ souls of a mob. The next step
\nis crafting a soul cage. Once you have a cage, simply right click it with your shard and you can kick back and relax
\nwhile hords of monsters appear out of thin air (unless you have a tier that needs a nearby player, then you need to stay
\nwithin 16 blocks).<\/p>\n
If you have a tier with redstone support then you can power the cage to stop it spawning.<\/p>\n
## History<\/p>\n
In case you are not familer with the history of soul shards, allow me to give you a rundown: This mod is an update
\nof Soul Shards Respawn by TehNut which is an update
\nof Soul Shards: The Old Ways by Team Whammich
\nwhich is an update
\nof Soul Shards: Reborn by Moze_Intel
\nwhich is finally an update of the 1.4.7
\nmod Soul Shards.<\/p>\n
I forked Respawn because it was not updated past 1.15 and the repository has been archived. I ported the 1.15 fabric
\nversion to the mojang mappings and 1.19 (also adding back in features from 1.12.2 that were removed in the 1.15 version)<\/p>\n
### Differences from Respawn (since 1.x.4)<\/p>\n
– Vile dust crafting
\n– Vile sword crafting
\n– Hallowed and cursed flames
\n– Quartz and Steel<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
