Soul Shards

Download - 1.5.1
Download - 1.4.6
Download - 1.4.4
Download - 1.4.2
Download - 1.3.2

Soul Shards allows you to create a Soul Shard that absorbs the souls of monsters you kill to be inserted into a Soul Cage later. This Soul Cage is a special block that can spawn the type of mob your Soul Shard was absorbing, usually at much better rates than a vanilla monster spawner.

This mod's cages can sometimes spawn monsters you can't normally get with vanilla spawners. In addition high tier shards can spawn special monsters and have other bonuses.

Spotlight


Overview

Spoiler:

Soul Cage


The Soul Cage is an empty conduit for monster souls. Once imbued with energy using a Soul Shard, mobs will begin spawning from the Soul Cage. When you harvest the cage you will get a shard back of the appropriate tier. In addition mobs spawned from cages will drop items even if not killed by a player (not including rare drops). For instance blaze will drop their items even if killed by water.

Soul Shard

You make a Soul Shard by creating the following shape in world:

AAEAA
AENEA
ENGNE
AENEA
AAEAA

A=Air
E=End Stone
N=Netherrack
G=Glowstone

Right click on the glowstone with a diamond to receive your shard

This shard of corrupted diamond seems to be able to absorb the souls of monsters you kill (while in your hotbar). Right click on a Soul Cage to imprison the essence of the monsters trapped within into the cage. It seems to also have a strange reaction to monster spawners!

Soul Shards have 5 tiers. Each tier gives progressively better spawning capabilities once imbued into the Soul Cage.

Tier 1
- Requires 64 Kills
- Mobs can spawn 2 at a time
- Mobs spawn 20 seconds apart

Tier 2
- Requires 128 Kills
- Mobs can spawn 4 at a time
- Mobs spawn 10 seconds apart

Tier 3
- Requires 256 Kills
- Mobs spawn whether player is near or not (currently broken at large distances)
- Mobs can spawn 4 at a time
- Mobs spawn 5 seconds apart

Tier 4
- Requires 512 Kills
- Mobs from other worlds and that could not otherwise be found as spawners can be spawned.
  -example: Blaze spawner in the overworld, enderman spawners, creeper spawners, etc.
- Mobs spawn whether player is near or not
- Mobs can spawn 4 at a time
- Mobs spawn 5 seconds apart

Tier 5
- Requires 1024 Kills
- Can be powered off with a redstone signal
- Ignores Light levels
- Mobs from other worlds and that could not otherwise be found as spawners can be spawned.
  -example: Blaze spawner in the overworld, enderman spawners, creeper spawners, etc.
- Mobs spawn whether player is near or not
- Mobs can spawn 6 at a time
- Mobs spawn 2 seconds apart

Instructions
1) Install forge
2) Place the mod zip in your mods folder

Added Client support. Have fun.

[Kane_Hart]

Great job! Keep up the good work

[kurruk]

Can't wait to try downloading now!

The reason you couldn't get your bot to talk in #ForgeIRC is because ForgeIRC bots are silenced in there. It's not meant to be a testing channel. It's just in the config as an example.

Thanks you might want to add that to the op.

[Neon_ColorsFTW22]

So you can connect an IRC Channel to your forge server? Pretty nice mod guess it is a pretty good way of chatting if you don't like the in-game chat in minecraft..

[ESClaus]

Very cool mod.  Now if I can get a mod that allows me to type out as much text as I want without the cutoff.  

[ScottKillen]

Nice job, ShadwDrgn! I'm looking forward to using this.

[FunshineX]

Any way to make the client version connect to twitch's channel IRC? I'd love to be able to read twitch chat in game while streaming, and even reply in twitch chat via minecraft

When you tried it, what did not work?

No support for server password yet. Will be soon.

[ShadwDrgn]

Server password support is in. Can connect to twitch now.

[FunshineX]

Nice, you rock!

[Kane_Hart]

I wanted to once again say that this is a wonderful mod and I just wanted to report and hoping there is a fix with /me in minecraft. A lot my users kind of use /me for roleplaying and its causing a hell of a mess on IRC.

Thanks,
Kane

I'll try to get it done this weekend.

[Seti118]

Good solid mod, in use on my server atm and it's awesome to keep an eye on the chat etc.

Dunno if this would be possible, but say there's a drop in connection, but the server's still up, the IRC bot that this creates won't return to the channel unless the server is restarted. I don't know if you could add this, but would it be possible to make sure that the bot checks it's in the channel every so often and if not re-join it?

May also be worth noting if you want it for server use, it's not needed on the client.

[Azeryuu]

You could just set your server to auto-restart ever hour or 2 depending on server load

I will be adding commands that will allow you to have it reconnect, change channels, change nicks, some admin stuff... so on.

Not really ideal for the server I have running, considering I have players from all over the world. The server reboots every night as it is to help keep memory/cpu usage down and that's really as much as I can spare doing. As it really needs to be up for long periods.

Win. Good to hear. I really don't like having to reboot the server just to get the bot back into IRC.
