Treasures & Artifacts
by Spacik
Treasures & Artifacts is a Forge technology mod for 1.12.2 that adds 65 artifacts, 17 containers, a money system and two tiers of signals.
What it does
Artifacts are the core of the mod. Most item icons and several mechanics are ported from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. setting of the Stalzone project, and a separate artifact upgrading system lets players improve the items they collect. Containers can be worn on the back, where their contents stay visible, and a speed effect and field-of-view adjustment can be tuned to taste.
Trade runs on a money system with a shop inventory the server owner can customize. The signals come in two tiers and help locate loot, while the loot tables, container parameters and signal behavior are all set through a configuration file. A server can shape its economy and loot through that file without changing code.
Installation covers the server and each player's game. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Its files target Forge for 1.12.2 only, with 1.0.1 as the latest build, published 2026-06-17.
Key features
65 artifacts
Sixty-five artifacts can be found and collected, each with its own item icon and behavior ported from the Stalzone mechanics.
Artifact upgrading
A dedicated system lets players upgrade artifacts they have collected, adding a progression step to the treasure hunt.
17 wearable containers
Containers are displayed on the player's back, and their contents remain visible while the player moves around.
Money and shop
A money system supports trade, and the shop inventory can be customized to match the economy a server wants.
Signals and loot
Two tiers of signals help players locate treasures, and loot can be adjusted through the configuration file.

How it compares
Admin Shop is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, runs on client and server, and targets 1.12.2 like Treasures & Artifacts, so it covers the shop side without artifacts. RLArtifacts is open source under the MIT License, also client and server on Forge for 1.12.2, and adds its own artifact set. Create: Artifact targets 1.20.1 and is not open source, so it is a different option for a later version.
