About this Mod
Some older versions of this mod can be found on curseforge: Forge / Fabric
Artifacts is a mod which aims to make exploration more rewarding by adding various powerful items that cannot be crafted.
The items added by this mod can be found in chests in vanilla structures, through archaeology, or can very rarely be found worn by entities. All artifacts only have a few chests in which they can be found, so go out and explore! Additionally, a new underground campsite structure has been added. Mimics occasionally spawn in these campsites instead of a chests, which are dangerous enemies that attack players that get too close. Mimics always drop a random artifact when killed.
Every item added by this mod has a unique model when equipped. The full set of items and their descriptions can be found in the images tab. Sn up-to-date list of where each item can be found is available on the wiki on GitHub.

Server lagging with Artifacts – how to optimize performance?
