Grave Harvest

When the Bone Scythe lands a killing blow on a valid target, it can harvest that target.

Harvesting does two things:

• Stores a Soul Imprint on the scythe.
• Rolls for 1 Soul Charge based on the harvested soul tier.

Limits:

• The scythe stores up to 8 Soul Imprints.
• If a ninth imprint is added, the oldest stored imprint is removed.
• The scythe stores up to 10 Soul Charges.

Valid harvest targets:

• Supported hostile mobs in the roster below.
• Hoglins.
• Iron Golems.

Excluded targets:

• Warden.
• Wither.
• Ender Dragon.
• Unsupported mobs not listed in the summon roster.

Soul Imprints

An imprint records the harvested soul profile. Summoned reaped souls use real mob types rather than a generic custom entity.

Important details:

• Baby variants are preserved for supported zombie-family mobs and hoglins.
• Slime and Magma Cube size is preserved.
• Captured equipment is replayed on the summoned soul.
• Summoned Slime and Magma Cube souls are forced not to split on death.
• Reaped Evokers can create up to 2 tracked Reaped Vex helpers.

Soul Charges and Summon Weight

Soul Charges are stored resource points.

When you open a summon window:

• All stored Soul Charges are consumed.
• Each charge becomes 1 temporary summon weight.
• The summon window lasts 10 seconds.
• Unused summon weight refunds back into Soul Charges when the window closes, capped at 10 charges.

Each soul has a weight equal to its tier. For example, a Tier 3 soul costs 3 summon weight.

Summoning Rules

To summon a soul:

1. Harvest valid mobs until the scythe has at least one imprint.
2. Gain at least one Soul Charge from harvest rolls.
3. Right click to open a summon window.
4. Sneak + right click to choose the stored imprint you want.
5. Right click during the window to summon it.

Rules:

• A summon consumes its stored imprint permanently.
• Summons do not return their imprints when they expire or are recalled.
• You can have up to 3 active reaped souls at once.
• Summons last 15 seconds by default.
• The Ossuary enchantment adds 5 seconds of summon lifetime per level.
• Summons are bound to the owner and should not be friendly-fire targets.
• Summons prefer the owner's recent combat target, recent attacker, or nearby hostile mobs.
• Summons follow the owner and can teleport back if they fall too far behind.

Final Recall

Final Recall dismisses active reaped souls early.

Default input:

• Hold Shift.
• Left click while aiming at empty space.
• Bone Scythe must be held in either hand.

Refund behavior:

• Only summons recalled before half of their lifetime has elapsed are eligible.
• Eligible summon weight refunds 50% back as Soul Charges.
• Refunds are capped by the 10 charge storage cap.
• Imprints are still consumed permanently.

Grave Garrison

Grave Garrison pulls active summons back to the player and focuses nearby threats.

Default input:

• Middle click while holding the Bone Scythe.

Details:

• 3 second cooldown.
• Teleports active summons into a ring around the player.
• Can recover tracked summons from another dimension if possible.
• Focuses the owner's recent combat target, recent attacker, or a nearby hostile target within 18 blocks.
• If no focus target is found, summons hold near the player.

Grave-Bound Visuals

While the owner holds the Bone Scythe, active summons can show soul particle links back toward the owner.

This is visual feedback that the summon is still owner-bound.

Ossuary Enchantment

Ossuary is a Bone Scythe-only treasure enchantment.

Level	Summon lifetime
No Ossuary	15 seconds
Ossuary I	20 seconds
Ossuary II	25 seconds
Ossuary III	30 seconds
