Better Soul Stone introduces a powerful and highly customizable artifact system to your Minecraft world. By crafting and upgrading various "Soul Stones" and equipping them in a dedicated Curios slot, you can unlock incredible passive abilities, utility effects, and combat buffs.
In this world, you are not alone. Many vanilla mobs and custom entities spawn equipped with their own unique Soul Stones, granting them extraordinary attributes or specialized AI logic:
Seize Their Power: When you slay a creature empowered by a Soul Stone, you have a chance to strip and claim the artifact they wore. Craving the resilience of a zombie or the elusive evasion of an Enderman? Hunt them down and make their power your own.
Dynamic Equipment: Through deep integration with the Curios API, you can seamlessly swap these powers via dedicated accessory slots. Some Soul Stones may forcibly occupy your slots, while others will pave the way for even greater possibilities.
