Note that the shard must already have at least one of the mob's soul inside for you to be able to right click a spawner. Right-clicking on a vanilla mob spawner with a Soul Shard in your hand will destroy the spawner and add 200 souls to the shard. For example, if you want an Enderman Soul Shard, you must kill an Enderman. Your Soul Shard will now be linked to that mob type and will only gain charges by killing that mob. Next, find the mob in which you want to "tie" the shard to and kill it. In order to charge your Soul Shard through this method, you must place the Soul Shard on your hotbar. There are currently two methods to gather these souls: Hunting the mobs or destroying a vanilla spawner to absorb the souls within. Once this structure is built, right click the glowstone block while holding a diamond to turn it into a Soul Shard.įTB Ultimate Reloaded - To craft a Soul Shard, you must place one glowstone block, surrounded by four quartz blocks, with four obsidian blocks in the corners. Post 1.5 - In order to craft a Soul Shard you need to place one glowstone block, surround that by four netherack, then surround those with 8 endstone. There are 5 tiers of Soul Shards, each tier requires an exponentially increasing number of souls. Once a Soul Shard is made, you can begin to gather souls. It takes a long time (about 11 minutes) but creates 3 Soul Shards at a time. The actual Soul Shard must be made in a Soul Forge by putting in a diamond in the top slot and 8 Corrupted Essence in the fuel slot. Corrupted Essence is made by cooking Soul Sand in a furnace and combining the resulting Vile Dust with Glowstone Dust on a crafting grid. Pre 1.5 - In order to craft a Soul Shard, you will need Corrupted Essence. The most probable reason is the fact that Witches are more akin to most other mobs than villagers. It is unknown why Witch souls can be captured even with their apparent relation to villagers. All Thaumcraft mobs (Wisps, Angry Zombies, and Firebats) CAN be stored in shards. However, Villagers, Iron Golems, Snow Golems, Squids, the Ender Dragon, the Wither, and all Twilight Forest mobs cannot. The soul of most vanilla mobs, passive or hostile, can be stored in shards. In addition, higher tier shards can spawn mobs regardless of the light level, and tier 5 can react to a redstone signal.
This mod's cages can spawn monsters normally unavailable with vanilla spawners. The Soul Forge is a special block that corrupts metals and diamonds when fueled by Corrupted Essence - a necessary process in the creation of a Soul Shard. It 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 that absorbing, usually at much better rates than a vanilla monster spawner.
