Artifacts guide for All the Mods 11 0.1.0 to 0.9.0-beta

Artifacts is all about making exploration worth your time. It adds a set of powerful items that you can't craft, so the only way to get them is to go out and find them. This pack includes Artifacts 15.1.3 for NeoForge.^[1][2]

Every item from the mod has its own unique model when you wear it, so your loot shows on your character. If you like treasure hunting and want a reason to poke around vanilla structures, this mod is for you.^[1]

Where artifacts come from

• Chests in vanilla structures. Each artifact only appears in a few chests, so you'll need to explore widely.^[1]
• Archaeology.^[1]
• Very rarely, you can find them worn by entities.^[1]
• Mimics. These dangerous enemies attack players who get too close, and they always drop a random artifact when killed.^[1]

Underground campsites

The mod adds a new underground campsite structure. Mimics occasionally spawn there in place of a chest, so be careful before you open anything that looks like loot.^[1]

The mod's own project page says an up-to-date list of where each item can be found is kept on the Artifacts wiki on GitHub.^[1]

Unverified I couldn't confirm from the sources where Artifacts fits in the pack's progression. No quests or ATM Star path steps involving this mod were found, so treat it as optional exploration loot.

Here's the thing to know first: Artifacts is all about exploration. The mod describes its powerful items as ones that cannot be crafted, so your first steps are about going out and finding them rather than following a crafting bench progression.^[1]

Where your first artifacts come from

1. Loot chests in vanilla structures. Each artifact only appears in a few specific chests, so explore widely instead of re-checking the same spot.^[1]
2. Try archaeology. Artifacts can also generate from suspicious sand and gravel.^[1][3]
3. Look for the underground campsite structure the mod adds. Campsites can hold a mimic instead of a chest, and a mimic attacks players who get too close.^[1][3]
4. Kill a mimic if you can handle the fight. Mimics always drop a random artifact when they die.^[1]
5. Keep an eye on skeletons, zombies and piglins. They can very rarely spawn wearing an artifact.^[1][3]

The craftable item: Eternal Steak

The recipe dump for this pack lists recipes for a single Artifacts item, Eternal Steak. You can make it by cooking in a furnace, a smoker or a campfire. Here are the exact in-pack recipes.^[4]

Wearing what you find

Artifacts are worn, and the mod can add slots to the Curios, Accessories or Trinkets menus so you can equip them. You can turn these slot options on or off in the mod's general config.^[3]

Artifacts also have tooltips that explain their effects, as long as tooltips are enabled in the mod's client config. Read them whenever you find something new.^[3]

Artifacts is different from most mods you'll run into in the pack. The sources describe no machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or automation for it. It adds treasure items that you find by exploring, and the "mechanics" are about where they come from, how you wear them and how they wear out.^[1]

How you get artifacts

Artifacts are meant to be found, not crafted. They turn up in chests in vanilla structures, through archaeology, or, very rarely, worn by mobs. Each artifact only appears in a few chests, so you'll need to explore widely.^[1]

• Archaeology: the mod has a chance setting for an artifact to generate in suspicious sand or gravel.^[3]
• Mob gear: skeletons, zombies and piglins can spawn with an artifact equipped, controlled by a chance setting.^[3]
• Chest loot: a rarity setting scales how common artifacts are in chests. Values above 1 make them rarer and values between 0 and 1 make them more common. Doubling the value makes them roughly twice as hard to find, and 10000 stops them appearing as chest loot.^[3]

Campsites and mimics

The mod adds an underground campsite structure. Occasionally a campsite has a mimic instead of a chest. Mimics are dangerous enemies that attack players who get too close, and they always drop a random artifact when killed.^[1]

The mod has settings for how many times a campsite attempts to generate per chunk (0 disables campsites), the minimum and maximum spawn height, the mimic chance, whether light-emitting blocks are allowed, whether wooden chests from other mods are used, and a minimalist mode that replaces a campsite with a single chest or mimic. Mimics can also use textures from Quark if it's present.^[3]

Unverified No config files for Artifacts were available, so the pack's actual values for the loot, campsite and mob-equipment settings are unverified.

Equipping artifacts

Every artifact has its own model when worn. The mod can add slots to the Curios, Trinkets or Accessories menus and let artifacts be equipped there. One option adds a separate face slot for the Snorkel and Night Vision Goggles, and it only works with Trinkets. Another lets any artifact go in any slot, and it needs Curios or Trinkets.^[1][3]

Durability

Artifacts can optionally have limited uses. When durability is on, the mod can take it away in several ways: per activation, per melee attack, per kill, per ore mined, per second while toggled on, per item eaten or drunk, or when the item is consumed. Individual artifacts add their own triggers, such as the Cloud in a Bottle's double jumps or the Bunny Hoppers' jumps.^[3]

Each item has a maximum damage setting. An indestructible option keeps the item intact and stops it working once durability reaches 1, instead of breaking it. Repair uses items from a configurable item tag. Mending and Unbreaking are allowed on artifacts with durability enabled, and the vanilla durability enchantable tag gives finer control.^[3]

Cooldowns and client display

Artifacts on cooldown can show next to the hotbar, and you can shift that element in pixels (negative values move it left of the hotbar). The Helium Flamingo's charge meter has its own vertical offset. You can also turn off tooltips that explain each artifact's effects, hide worn artifacts on players (this only changes your own view), and toggle first-person glove models.^[3]

The one craftable item: Eternal Steak

The pack's recipe dump shows one Artifacts item with recipes, the Eternal Steak. It can be made by smelting, smoking and campfire cooking. The dump lists no item inputs for any of them, so the exact ingredient isn't confirmed here. The blocks below show the in-pack recipes.^[4]

Smelting

Smoking

Campfire Cooking

Recipe id: artifacts:eternal_steak_from_campfire_cooking

The only Artifacts content the pack's recipe data shows is the Eternal Steak. The sources here don't show a tiered progression path for this mod, so there is no tier breakdown to give you.^[4]

Eternal Steak

The pack has a campfire cooking recipe, a smelting recipe and a smoking recipe that each produce the Eternal Steak. Whichever of those methods you use, the result is the same item.^[4]

Eternal SteakMod recipe

The recipe dump lists no item inputs for any of these recipes. The recipe blocks above show exactly what the pack uses, so rely on those rather than this text for the inputs.^[4]

Same as in the All the Mods 10 0.50 guide

Unverified No config options or values for Artifacts in this pack could be confirmed, so I can't tell you which options exist here or whether the pack changed anything from the mod defaults.

What the mod's project page does describe is how artifacts are obtained. They can't be crafted. You find them in chests in vanilla structures, through archaeology, or very rarely worn by entities.^[1]

The mod also adds an underground campsite structure. Mimics occasionally spawn there instead of chests, they attack players who get too close, and they always drop a random artifact when killed.^[1]
