How do I install Shadow Summoner?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on CurseForge — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

What Minecraft version does Shadow Summoner work with?

The listing gives Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.20.1, 1.18.2. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

If you get 500 souls in the Moon Light Claw, having one in each hand, you will gain speed, a slight jump and you will be able to climb blocks without jumping.

You also receive this effect if you store 1000 souls in the Moon Light Orb and it will be applied if you have it in your inventory!

You also receive this effect if you store 1000 souls in the Sulfur Orb and it will apply if you have it in your inventory!
