Arcane Artifacts
Arcane Artifacts adds over 100 artifacts in four rarities, which players obtain through a custom wish system and then use for combat and utility.
What it does
Players obtain artifacts mainly through wishes, a gacha-style system where each wish gives a chance at a common, rare or unique artifact. Each wish raises the pity counter, and reaching 150 pity grants a unique artifact. Wishing spirits and soulcatcher curios increase the pity gain per wish, and wishes can be made after sleeping.
Artifacts are not the only route: the strongest Void artifacts come from upgrading unique artifacts at a smithing table, and two unique artifacts appear only inside the Desert Temple and the Ancient City structures. Each artifact shows a description with its damage, cooldown and effect details. Some boost the player directly, some deal damage, and others provide utility, and the set is meant to be a new way to fight and explore in the same world.
The mod is for NeoForge on 1.21.1 only and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. The current file is 1.0.1 for 1.21.1, published on 2026-02-12, and the first release came on 2026-02-09.
