Mainbread's Artifacts
by MainBread
Mainbread's Artifacts adds eight custom artifacts that players craft at an artifact chamber, with ores placed underground and upgrade templates that gate their crafting.
What it does
Ruby Ore generates in the Overworld above the Deepslate layer, and Aquanite Ore turns up rarely in the End, so exploring further underground and into the End gives access to the materials. Artifacts are crafted at an artifact chamber, and some recipes need an upgrade template that is itself made through the chamber.
The mod is aimed at players who want more to do with exploration and crafting in survival worlds. Advancements show how each artifact is crafted, which helps when working through the upgrade chain. Details is a companion that the author says works with almost any other mod, and Requirements is needed because it supplies a dependency the mod relies on.
Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric. Mainbread's Artifacts runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Builds exist for 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 1.1.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest file, and the code is released under the MIT License but is not open source.
