Soul Shards is a mod created by that allow the creation of an item called the  that allow the capture of 'souls' of the mobs the player kills. These Shards can then be placed into a, a block that acts as a Vanilla Mob Spawner. The is a special block that corrupts metals and s when fuelled by  - an imperative process in the creation of Soul Shards.

Not only can Soul Cages spawn mobs normally unavailable in Vanilla Minecraft, but when reaching higher tiers, (dependent on the amount of souls the Shard has captured) can spawn mobs at higher rates, and even ignoring light levels.

The souls of most Vanilla mobs, passive or hostile, can be stored in Shards. However, s, s, s, s, the, the , and all mobs CANNOT be stored in Shards. On the other hand, all mobs (,, and ) can.

Note: souls can be captured even with their apparent relation to Villagers, who's souls cannot be captured.

Trapping Souls
In order to capture souls with a Soul Shard, the player must place the Shard on his/her hotbar. Next, the player must find the mob in which they want to 'tie' the to and kill it. The Soul Shard will now be linked to that mob type and will only gain souls by killing that mob, e.g. if the player wants an Soul Shard, they must kill an Enderman.

You can also capture souls by 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. 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.
