Ancient Artifacts 2

Artifacts are special items that grant effects when equipped. Each has a rarity from common to divine, which sets how rare it is, and up to two can be equipped at the same time. Obtained artifacts start at level one and can be raised with artifact upgrade items, including a heavy upgrade and a special item that brings artifacts to their maximum level. The artifact smith is a villager with new trades for useful items.

Artifacts are found in overgrown structures spread through a dedicated dimension, more than 40 of them. Once the mobs guarding a structure are defeated, an artifact chest appears; it opens only with an amethyst shard, and its loot pops out when it is opened. Advancements add further artifact loot. The pack also adds two boss fights, each with custom music and a boss bar.

The mod is a datapack, so it is available for data pack servers and has to run on the server, while clients may leave it out.
