DV Science of Souls

• Soul Jar: right-click a creature to catch its soul (bosses excepted), right-click a block to release it — name, health and gear included
• Binding Altar: lay a creature’s jar on it and offer a soul with half its hearts: it stands up as your pet. Pets follow, wait or wander (sneak + right-click), defend you, and never turn on you or your other pets — monsters too
• Soul Collar: a collared pet that dies leaves a collar shard; offer a soul as strong as it at the Soul Altar to bring it back
• Soul Fuser: fuse two souls into a hybrid — Woolly Cow (shear it, it grazes its wool back), Feathered Pig (lays eggs, falls slowly), Lava Horse (walks on lava), Wolf Fox (fetches items) — or two of the same kind into a stronger soul
• Soul Furnace, Soul Smoker, Soul Blast Furnace: twice as fast as the game’s own, burning souls from a bar at their side; with DV Backpack they also come as upgrade cards that cook inside the backpack
• Soul bars and pure soul: every soul machine burns souls from a bar at its side (one heart is one soul), filled from the slot under it with a soul jar or a bucket or bottle of pure soul, or by pipes. The Soul Refiner draws a jarred soul out heart by heart, with a little amethyst (one shard every 8 souls) that cracks as it wears, into pure soul (take the jar out halfway and the creature keeps the hearts it has left): a dark blue liquid with soul faces drifting in it, belonging to no creature. A bucket of it burns in any furnace, a bottle soaks coal into Soul Coal, and it is the safe offering at the altars
• Corruption: offer a soul of another kind for a creature (bringing back, binding) and it may turn into a corrupted one: its own shape, darkened, red-eyed and hostile. Pure soul or the creature’s own kind never corrupts
• Feed a soul to a horse to raise its speed, jump and health
• Soul cards: make glass test tubes (two glass and a quartz, four at a time); the Soul Distiller drips a soul’s essence through amethyst into one, and soul tubes stand in the rack of a gold, diamond or netherite soul card (1, 2 or 3). In a worn DV Backpack‘s upgrade slot it gives the creatures’ powers: water breathing, night vision, wall climbing, walking on lava, strength, speed, creepers keeping away, item magnet… 18 in all; more essences of one creature make it stronger
• JEI shows the fusions, distilling and refining; works without JEI and DV Backpack (cards then work from the inventory)
• Server settings for costs, times and limits
• Required on both client and server
