Soul Shards

Soul Shards is a recreation of the classic Soul Shards mod. This plugin adds in 2 items to the game, Soul Shard and the Soul Cage. The Soul Shard allows you to start capturing the souls of any monster/animal, you can then increase the shards tier by killing more of the bound mob.

By default, the shard has 5 tiers each one makes it react differently when spawning entities. Stats of the tiers are configurable. To make the shard actually spawn the mobs you would need to put the shard into the soul cage.

 

Kill more mobs to get a higher tier shard, with this higher tier you can have more mobs spawning and even not need to be within 16 blocks.

Tiers are configurable but by default there's 1-5 starting at 64 and doubling each time. Tier 5 allows for players to be more than 16 blocks away while being active.

To still keep lag under control the cages only spawn in a loaded chunk alongside this you can set a limit of spawned mobs in these chunks with the config. The limit will only apply to Soul Shard mobs and not others!
