Description:
You know those little plug-in air fresheners people stick in the wall and then completely forget about? The ones that just silently do their thing in the corner, slowly consuming something, and you only remember they exist when you walk past and go "oh... huh, still going"? That's the Vampiric Soul Siphon. It sits there. It waits. It feeds. You don't even have to watch.
This thing is a placeable, indestructible block — so congratulations, you've put down something you literally cannot accidentally destroy, which is more than can be said for most of your life choices. Slap it down and walk away, because it has a whole system and it doesn't need you involved.
What it actually DOES:
Broadcasts a 30-block "come hither" signal to every hostile mob in the neighborhood, luring them in like a coupon for free violence
Once they mosey over, it suppresses their movement and attacks — no fighting back, no running, just a purple swirling existential crisis — and drags them into a 2-block trap
Drains 2 HP per second from anything caught in it, with purple portal particles doing their best Vegas show impression the whole time, until the mob is just... gone. Slowly. Dramatically.
Vacuums up all the dropped loot and XP like the world's most gothic Roomba, storing everything inside itself
Stand next to it and it automatically dumps all the rewards into your pockets — you didn't fight, you didn't sweat, you just showed up and collected. Incredible.
Mine it with any pickaxe and it hands everything back like a very cooperative little murder machine
It's the lazy-boy recliner of mob farms. The "set it and forget it" rotisserie oven, but for souls. You put it in the corner of your pyramid, go do literally anything else, and come back to find it surrounded by purple smoke and a pile of loot like it's been running a very efficient, very creepy small business while you were gone.

Vampiric Soul Siphon
Quickstart
- Gather Obsidian (x4), Eyes of Ender (x4), and a Nether Star (x1).
- Craft the Vampiric Soul Siphon at a Crafting Table:
- Place the block anywhere in your world — it works immediately upon placement.
- Stand back and watch as hostile mobs within 30 blocks are pulled toward it, trapped, and drained.
- Step adjacent to the block to automatically receive all stored items and XP it has collected.
- Mine it with any pickaxe (takes ~3 seconds) to pick it back up and collect any remaining stored rewards.
Overview
The Vampiric Soul Siphon is a powerful utility block that acts as an autonomous mob farm and loot collector. Place it, and it handles everything — luring, trapping, killing, and storing drops — all without any player intervention. It even glows with a ghostly soul light after each kill, pulsing purple with portal particles as it works.
What It Adds
- 1 new block: Vampiric Soul Siphon — a placeable, fully automated mob-killing and loot-storage block.
How To Use
Placing the Siphon
Simply place the Vampiric Soul Siphon on any solid surface. It activates instantly. No redstone or additional setup is required. The block cannot be destroyed by explosions.
Mob Luring & Trapping
- All hostile mobs within a 30-block radius are fiercely attracted to the siphon.
- The pull force is strong enough that mobs cannot resist or walk away from it.
- Once within 2 blocks, mobs are held in place — their movement and attacks are suppressed.
Draining
- Trapped mobs lose 2 HP (1 heart) every second until they die.
- Purple portal particles swirl around the siphon while it is actively draining mobs.
Loot & XP Collection
- When a mob dies near the siphon, all item drops and XP in the area are automatically vacuumed into the block for storage.
- Items and XP accumulate inside the siphon indefinitely.
Collecting Your Rewards
There are two ways to retrieve stored loot:
| Method | How |
|---|
| Player Transfer | Stand directly adjacent (within ~2 blocks) to the siphon — all stored items and XP are instantly transferred to you. |
| Mining | Break the siphon with any pickaxe (~3 seconds). The block drops for you to pick up, and stored rewards are transferred to you at the same time. |
Abilities And Mechanics
Soul Glow Lighting
The siphon tracks its kill activity with a dynamic light system:
| State | Light Level |
|---|
| No recent kills (inactive) | 0 (dark) |
| Active — kill within last 5 minutes | 5 (soul glow) |
| Fading — 5 minutes since last kill | Gradually decays from 5 → 0 over ~1 minute |
- Each new mob kill resets the 5-minute timer back to full, keeping the glow alive as long as the siphon is busy.
- After 5 minutes of inactivity, the light smoothly fades to darkness.
Persistence
The siphon remembers its stored items, stored XP, and soul light state even after the world is reloaded or the chunk is unloaded.
Block Properties
| Property | Value |
|---|
| Tool required | Any pickaxe |
| Mining time | ~3 seconds |
| Explosion resistant | Yes (indestructible by explosions) |
| Flammable | No |
| Map color | Deep purple |
Progression And Strategy
- Early mob farm: Place the siphon in a naturally mob-rich area (caves, surface at night) and let it work while you do other tasks. Return periodically to collect stored loot.
- AFK farming: Because the siphon pulls, traps, and kills mobs automatically, it functions as a fully passive farm — no mob spawner required.
- Soul glow as indicator: Watch the light level of your siphon from a distance. If it has gone dark, the surrounding mobs may have been depleted — time to move it or explore a new area.
- Safe retrieval: You don't need to break the block to get loot. Simply walk up to it and the transfer is instant, allowing you to grab rewards without interrupting the siphon's operation.
- Strategic placement: Center the siphon in large open areas to maximize the 30-block lure radius. Underground rooms work especially well for trapping multiple mobs quickly.
