Soulscorch

There's no reason to go to the Soul Sand Valley in vanilla other than to get Soul Sand and Soul Soil. This mod hopefully gives you a few reason, as well as a challenge to harvesting the blocks that make up the biome.

New Blocks

Soul Brewing Stand

An upgraded brewing stand that brews potions in half the time. Crafted with 1 Blazt Rod and 3 Basalt. Fueled with Blazt Powder.
Texture pack creators: This uses the Brewing Stand UI, except for the fuel bar. I don't know why I did it either.

Iron Bulb

Remember the old Copper Bulb that had that 1 tick delay? That's the Iron Bulb's job now. Similar recipe to the Copper Bulb, but using Blocks of Iron and a Blazt Rod instead of Copper Blocks and a Blaze rod. I've also made both recipes rotatable.

Soul Slag

Crafted with 4 Soul Cream, this is a soul variant of the Magma Block.

Piglins are afraid of these blocks.

New Effects

Soulscorch Effect

Each time you take damage with this effect active, your max health will go down by half a heart.
A good night's rest will return your health back to normal
This effect is applied in the following ways:
- Stepping on Soul Fire, Soul Campfire, or Soul Slag
- Stepping in a Soulscorch cloud spawned from a Soul Charge

Soul Render Effect

Drinking a Potion of Soul Render will instantly restore your max health back to 20 (or 10 hearts). Potion is brewed with a Soul Cream and Awkward Potion

Entities

Blazt

The Blazt is an undead cross between a Blaze and a Ghast. You'll hear it bellowing in the Soulsand Valley. It will randomly choose a Ghast fireball and a Soul Charge to shoot at you.
Soul Charges, upon contact with a block or player, will burst into a lingering cloud that applies Instant Damage and the Soulscorch Effect. Watch your feet.

Soulless

Resembling a Piglin, they are very common spawns in the Soulsand Valley, standing near-motionless in groups up to 8.
Breaking any soul-based block while any are nearby, will wake it up, and the Soulless around you will watch you. That's your first and only warning.
It uses melee attacks that inflict the Soulscorch effect.
Spawns in the Soul Sand Valley. Piglins are scared of Soulless.

Restless

Resembling a Hoglin, they are rare spawns in the Soulsand Valley.
This mob punishes players for getting damaged in the Soulsand Valley. If you get hurt with a Restless nearby, it will wake up, look for you, and will charge at the player. It will then go back to sleep.
Piglins are scared of Restless.
