Relics of Old
by Hojosa
Relics of Old is a Forge mod that adds relics players wear for effects, along with old forgotten mechanics, blocks and content from earlier Minecraft versions.
What it does
Relics of Old is built around discovering old relics and ancient knowledge. Relics are worn for effects, and some of the old mechanics, blocks and content it brings back come from earlier Minecraft versions. Some content is opened by finding missing pages called lost pages, and the documentation for the content is kept in the Ancient Tome and its relic descriptions.
The mod depends on Curios API, Expandability, Mantle and Patchouli, which must be installed next to it. Relics of Old is published for Forge only, on 1.20.1, with 1.3 as the latest file dated 2026-06-28 on the beta channel. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v2.0 only, and public source code and an issue tracker are linked.
Key features
Wearable relics
Relics are equipped in curio slots and provide effects while worn, with the slots supplied by Curios API.
Lost pages
Some content is opened by finding missing pages called lost pages, which tie progress to discovery.
Ancient Tome
The Ancient Tome documents the relics and their descriptions, so players can look up what each item does.
Themed items and blocks
Items such as a sword pedestal in several shapes, a skybeam block, and emerald pieces drawn from falling objects and other media.
