Artifacts Crafting Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I craft my first artifact?
Start by gathering the materials listed in the crafting recipe for the artifact you want—recipes are visible in your crafting menu or JEI/NEI. Place the materials in the correct pattern on a crafting table, just like any other recipe in Minecraft. Check the mod's recipe guide if you're unsure which artifact requires which materials.
What's the difference between normal and RPG mode recipes?
RPG mode makes artifact recipes significantly more complex and expensive, requiring rare materials and often multiple crafting steps instead of a single recipe. Enable RPG mode in the mod's config file if you want a harder survival experience; normal mode keeps recipes straightforward.
Can I craft artifacts that are purely cosmetic?
Yes, the mod includes recipes for cosmetic-only items like the Santa Hat and Villager Hat that don't provide gameplay benefits. These recipes use simpler materials and are great for decorating your character without needing powerful gear.
Which artifacts are best for survival mode?
Utility artifacts like the Snorkel (for underwater breathing) and the Fire Gauntlet (for fire resistance) are excellent for survival, along with any defensive or mobility-focused items. Check the crafting recipes to see which utility artifacts match the materials you have available.
Do I need to find artifacts in chests anymore?
No—this mod lets you craft every artifact directly, so you don't have to rely on chest loot. You can now guarantee you'll get the specific item you want by gathering the right materials.
Are there any artifacts I can't craft?
All wearable items from the Artifacts mod have crafting recipes in this mod, so you can craft every artifact. If you're looking for a specific item and don't see a recipe, double-check your crafting menu or JEI to confirm the exact name.
What materials do I need to gather for most recipes?
Recipes vary widely—some use common blocks like wood or stone, while others require rare materials like diamonds, enchanted books, or special drops from mobs. Check the specific recipe for each artifact to see its exact material requirements.
Does this mod work with other mods?
Yes, Artifacts Crafting Mod is designed to work alongside the original Artifacts mod and other mods. It doesn't conflict with standard Minecraft mechanics or most popular mods, though always check compatibility with any heavily modifying mods you use.
Can I customize the crafting recipes?
Yes, you can edit the mod's config file to adjust recipes and enable or disable RPG mode. Refer to the config documentation to see which settings you can modify for your preferred difficulty.
Why can't I see some artifact recipes in my crafting menu?
Make sure you have the original Artifacts mod installed—this mod only adds recipes for items that already exist in Artifacts. If recipes still don't appear, try using JEI or NEI to search for the artifact name, or check that the mod is properly loaded.
