SoulForge
A powerful Minecraft Paper plugin that adds custom tools, a soul harvesting system, an upgrade shop, and a built-in resource pack — all in one.
Features
Custom Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| Drill 3×3 | A netherite pickaxe that mines a 3×3 area in one strike. Crafted with diamond blocks. |
| Drill 5×5 | An upgraded drill that mines a 5×5 area. Crafted with netherite blocks. |
| TNT Pickaxe | Has a configurable chance to spawn primed TNT when breaking blocks. Crafted with TNT and netherite. |
| Scythe of the Grim Reaper | A netherite sword that harvests souls from slain mobs with a chance-based drop. |
| Timber Axe | Fells entire trees (logs + leaves) in one chop, with a cooldown between uses. |
| Murasame | A cursed netherite sword that applies a spreading curse to mobs — after 5 stacks, the target dies. Crafted with wither skeleton skulls. |
All custom items are unbreakable, display an enchantment glint, and support custom models via the optional resource pack.
Soul System
- Kill mobs while holding the Scythe to harvest souls.
- Souls are tracked per-player and persist across sessions (
souls.yml). - Use
/soulsto check your balance, or/soulsgive <player> <amount>to transfer souls. - View another player's souls with
/souls <player>(requiressouls.seeotherspermission).

After purchasing an upgrade, craft the tool again to receive the new enchantments.
Resource Pack
SoulForge includes a built-in optional resource pack with custom models for all tools. The pack can be:
- Auto-downloaded by players on join (configurable in
config.yml). - Toggled live with
/soulforge reload— no server restart required. - Item models automatically sync across inventories, ender chests, and shulker boxes.

All tools are craftable through vanilla-style shaped recipes. Use /recipe to browse all recipes, or /3x3recipe, /5x5recipe, /tntrecipe for specific ones. A search dialog is available via /recipe <search>.
