RLArtifacts
by fonnymunkey
RLArtifacts is a Forge fork of the Artifacts mod that adds baubles, reworks existing artifacts and removes items the original includes.
What it does
Artifacts are worn as baubles in dedicated slots, and RLArtifacts drops several entries that the original mod provides, such as everlasting foods. Its baubles overlap with those from BountifulBaubles, including the Obsidian Skull and the Cobalt Shield, so those overlapping items are disabled by default. A config option turns them back on when BountifulBaubles is installed, and most settings can be changed in-game.
The mod adds new artifacts, including the Sacrificial Amulet, which charges up as its wearer gets kills and releases a charged item from the loot table when it breaks. Mimics are reworked to be more dangerous and harder to spot, and they fight back against entities that attack them. The Antidote Vessel from newer Artifacts versions is backported, and the rendering system is reworked so artifact models work with Mo'Bends. The Cloak gains compatibility with Classy Hat's Phantom Thread. Many artifact attribute values, operations and activation chances are exposed as config options.
Installation requires Forge only, for 1.12.2. Players and servers both need the mod on their side. The latest file is 1.1.2 for 1.12.2, released under the MIT License, and the source code is open source.
