Soul shards wont work whats the recipe

[unholywar23]

I downloaded the mindcrack server 1.4.6 and it works fine....but the soul shards mod wont tell me the recipe to make a soul shard...I know how to make it its glow stone dust diamond and soul sand....but it doesn't come up when i put the ingredients in the crafting table can someone please help me,

The recipe has changed, Soulshards on the Minecraft Forums, it now requires 8 corrupted essence and a diamond, corrupted essence is from smelting soul sand and combining it with glowstone dust in a soul forge. Probably better to hit the link and read it for yourself

ok I tried that and it still does not work

You need to smelt it in the Soul Forge, find the recipe in NEI, diamond at top slot, 8 corrupted essences at bottom, will give you 3 soul shards

I have to disagree with you noskk as it doesn't work like that. It needs some "booting up". ShadwDrgn posted a video on YouTube showing how development was going and he required "Soul Crystals". How you acquire the Soul Crystals is what I do not know.

Edit: I apologize for doubting you, I just tried using the wrong items as fuel.

Also, Don't destroy the soul forge when items are in it. You lose the items!

Pretty sure noskk is correct considering that I've done the same and actually got my shards out of the forge.

Besides, Soul Crystals are a planned future development. It would be complete nonsense to force that kind of mechanic right now, especially when Soul Crystals are unobtainable. Will that feature actually work in the future? Most likely yes.

But this is now, and Soul Crystal mechanics are not in. That's not saying I'm not interested in how Soul Shards will change in regards to that new mechanic...

here are the steps.
Cook SoulSand in a furnace.
Mix one of the cooked soulsand with a glowstone dust.
Place the corrupted essence in the middle of a crafting bench and put 3 smoothstone on the top row and the rest with obsidian.
Mix 8 more of the cooked soulsand and 8 glowstone dust and then put that in the fuel slot of the soul forge.
Cook a diamond in the soul forge.

I already have 4 of my planned 10 Tier 5 skeleton spawners in my xp trap. I just need to devote more time hunting more skeleton spawners to right click with my soul shard.

Be careful with that i lagged my game out they spawn very fast

one way is to use the spawners to add souls directly, the other is to build your xp trap and fill it with the normal spawners and use the spawned monsters to fill the gems (portalgun).

The first is for fast but limited souls, the second for a more "long run" kind, you choose

Yeah, I forgot last night that I had turned it on. I went to grab something while I build up a few hundred skeletons. I came back to the area and I was slowing down massively. I didn't realize it until I went back over by my drop chute and there were almost 800 skeletons in it. I had gone to a couple of different mystcraft worlds so I don't know how many had despawned since I turned it on.

I only get lag when I get too many mobs though.
Here is my setup.

I have a remote to turn on and off the spawners. At the back of the drop chute I have a transposer hooked up to a .200 second timer that sends all drops into a chest which is then sorted. Arrows/bones go into barrels and everything else goes into a gold chest. The bows are then pumped into a void pipe and everything else loops back around into another gold chest (the armor drops are great for Thaumcraft).
There is a Brain in a Jar to instantly pick up all of the xp instantly.
Killing is done with a splash healing potion.

Once I get to 10 spawners it should only take a few seconds to get lvl 30.

My biggest question really is How much XP can a Brain in a Jar hold?

I have been loading it up and take some every once in a while.

Here is my spawning room. Spawns drop into a water flow that pushes them into a Mystcraft portal which puts them at the top of the drop chute.

And the top of the spawning room.

one way is to use the spawners to add souls directly, the other is to build your xp trap and fill it with the normal spawners and use the spawned monsters to fill the gems (portalgun).

Mystcraft. Single Biome Plains. Flat. Eternal Day.

All you do is run around hunting the Thaumcraft Mounds (Can't miss them as they are the only terrain that isn't flat), run in and right click the spawners.
It's cheap and should be fixed but it works, at least for Skeletons and Zombies.
