Soul Shards: The Old Ways Mod Wiki & Guide
Soul Shards: The Old Ways is a comprehensive mob-spawning mod for Minecraft that allows players to capture the souls of creatures into gems to create highly efficient, customizable mob spawners.
Overview
Soul Shards: The Old Ways (SSTOW) is a modern reimagining of the classic Soul Shards mod. It introduces a progression-based system for mob farming, moving away from the luck-based nature of finding vanilla spawners. By crafting a Soul Shard and slaying specific mobs, players can 'bind' the soul of that creature to the shard. As the player continues to hunt that mob type, the shard increases in power through five distinct tiers, eventually allowing for spawners that ignore light levels, work without player proximity, and can be controlled via Redstone.
