Mystical Remnants
by SpiderArmy
Mystical Remnants places magical artifacts across the world, and holding one gives its wielder a buff tied to that item.
What it does
Artifacts are scattered through the world in three types, and some of them sit inside temples. Each artifact is a weapon or piece of gear with its own magical effect, and holding one grants a different buff. Several weapon types are included, among them a syith, a dagger, a longsword, a hand axe and a battle axe, so the player can switch between effects by changing the item in hand.
The effects vary by weapon. A syith grants night vision and deals extra damage to entities within 20 blocks. A dagger applies haste or slowness to nearby entities, a longsword applies leaping or poison, and a battle axe can call a lightning strike on entities within 20 blocks. Other weapons regenerate health or spawn iron golems to fight alongside the player.
Armor from the mod protects the wearer, and a book in the mod records the special traits and the story behind the artifacts. Mystical Remnants runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 only. Both the server and every player need it, and the code is released under the MIT License, though it is not open source.
