Relics & Artifacts
by xsoras
Relics & Artifacts adds structures, charms and rare relics that players find while exploring a world, with each charm granting an ability when equipped.
What it does
Ancient ruins, abandoned locations and forgotten shrines are generated across the world as handcrafted structures. Some hold valuable rewards, while others present a challenge to overcome before the loot can be taken. Distant monoliths and silhouettes on the horizon invite players to walk over and see what the structure holds.
Charms are the main reward. Once a player finds one, it can be equipped to gain an ability tied to exploration, movement or survival. The mod is aimed at adventure play in survival worlds and at multiplayer servers where players explore together. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.
Relics & Artifacts is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.17.1 – 26.3 and 18 release versions. Its license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
