Required Resource Pack

This data pack adds a new Soul Link enchantment. This enchantment returns the item with this enchantment to you upon your death.


A resourcepack is built inside the datapack, you can place one copy in the datapack folder and the second copy in the resourcepack folder, or download the resourcepack separately. This resourcepack is optional.

Since version 1.6 (1.21+) it now uses the enchantment system instead of a custom item. So enchanting items is done through an anvil.



There are three variants of this enchantment:
  • Soul Link - the normal version of the enchantment. The item will always return to you after death. Can be found in chests in Ancient City, with a small chance to be fished in the Deep Dark biome, or as a drop from Warden.
  • Weak Soul Link - Weakened version of Soul Link. Enchantment level will decrease with each death. Can transform into Unstable Soul Link. Can be found in chests in Ancient City, with a small chance to be fished in any biome.
  • Unstable Soul Link - A special version of Soul Link that will save the player's entire inventory, then the item with this enchantment will be destroyed after the player's death.

To obtain this enchantment on any item, drop a Resonating Soul / Weak Resonating Soul with the desired item on the Enchanting Table.



The item will be returned even if you die in lava or the void.

Is there a way to just enchant something without looking in ancient city?

You can also fish it out with a fishing rod with a small chance, or you can use the /loot command:
loot give @s loot soul_link:resonating_soul
loot give @s loot soul_link:weak_resonating_soul

Or you can give yourself any item with this enchantment:
give @s <item>{soul_link:{id:'soul_link'}}

Hello! I am not sure if I did something wrong adding it to my server but it doesn't seem to be working, I throw my item on the enchanting table along with a resonating soul and nothing happens, any solutions?

Hello. Are there any errors in the server console? What version of the server and datapack? If you use other datapacks, then incompatibility is possible.

nvmnd.. i found the culprit! https://www.planetminecraft.com/data-pack/talentium/

hm, what should i do now ._. don't want throw of neither of those datapacks :(



with mods too? something is interfering.. or maybe some old cached datapcks that also changed/added something similiar?

on one server it works on another it doesn't :/ it doesn't even log anything, it doesn't seem to detect the items on the table.



everythings has the same datapacks, the server it doesn't works on *had* some more that i removed?

How do you transform the weak soul link into the unstable soul link?

If Weak Resonating Soul gets too weak, it will turn into an unstable version.

This looks like a really cool concept. Do you think it could be multiplayer compatible?

How does the system work for it? Any time I tried making things like this, stuff between players would always interfere
