About this Mod

Soul Gauntlet
Soul Gauntlet is an adventure mod centered around the forbidden art of soul magic.
Embark on a perilous journey, overcome countless challenges, and claim the legendary gauntlet — a weapon capable of stealing the very essence of your enemies.
Will you master its power… or will the souls you claim consume you instead?

Content
Below is a list and guide to everything this mod adds:
The Church

Your journey begins in the Church.
To find it, simply explore a plains biome — it won’t take long before you come across this mysterious structure.
Savior

Inside the Church you will find the Savior, a statue carved into the wall.
Interact with her to begin your questline to obtain the Soul Gauntlet. (Note: only one player per world can start this questline.)
Damaged Gauntlet

The Damaged Gauntlet is the first step toward forging the true Soul Gauntlet, and the key item needed to advance through the questline.
Soul Gauntlet

The legendary Soul Gauntlet is the core weapon of this mod.
It has a 5% chance to steal the soul of any creature you kill (this value can be changed with the stealchance gamerule).
You can carry up to 3 different souls at once, and press R to select which one to wield.
Soul Altar

The Soul Altar is a sacred block found inside the Church.
It allows you to delete souls stored in your Gauntlet, freeing up space for stronger and more valuable ones.
