Artifacts

Artifacts is a adventure mod created by ochotonida. Adds rare accessory items found in dungeon loot chests that grant unique passive abilities when equipped in Curio slots. As a adventure mod it concentrates on exploration, structures, and new things to fight, and it has been downloaded around 35 million times, which puts it among the options players reach for in this space.

Artifacts is built for players who want fun, wearable treasure to find in chests. It adds whimsical accessories such as cloud-in-a-bottle and umbrellas, equipped through Curios or Trinkets and discovered as loot. It is approachable enough to drop into a world and use right away, with little setup required.

The mod is available for Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge, so it fits a range of modpacks and launchers. It currently supports Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, spanning the 1.20.1 to 1.21.1 releases. It runs on both the client and the server, so on a multiplayer server every player who connects needs it installed alongside the server itself.

Artifacts works particularly well alongside Curios API. It depends on Curios API, so those must be present and on the same loader and version. Because it ships for both Fabric and Forge-family loaders, it slots into most popular modpacks regardless of which side they are built on.

Artifacts has a modest footprint for what it adds and is widely used in modpacks without notable performance concerns.

If you are comparing options, a similar mod worth a look is Curios-based trinket packs. They overlap in purpose, so most players pick whichever suits their loader and pack.
