How do I start with the Artifacts Mod?
Just play normally — artifacts generate as loot in chests found in structures like dungeons, mineshafts, temples, and pyramids. You don't need to craft or unlock anything to begin; find your first artifact and equip it in the appropriate slot.
How do I equip and use an artifact?
Open your inventory and place the artifact into its dedicated artifact slot (or the matching armor/curio slot it belongs to). Once equipped, its effect activates automatically — most artifacts are passive and require no key press.
How do I get the Eternal Steak?
The Eternal Steak is found as loot in structure chests like other artifacts, not crafted. Once you have it, eat it as many times as you want — it restores hunger without being consumed.
How do I research artifacts and constellations?
Research and constellations are part of the mod's progression system for discovering and unlocking artifacts. Check the in-game research interface or the mod's guidebook to see which constellations you've completed and what they unlock.
How do I upgrade an artifact?
Artifacts in this mod generally don't have a traditional upgrade path — you find stronger or different artifacts as loot rather than upgrading existing ones. If you're thinking of a different mod's upgrade system, that mechanic doesn't apply here.
What is a Mimic and how do I deal with it?
Mimics are hostile mobs disguised as chests that ambush you when you try to open them. Approach suspicious chests carefully, be ready to fight, and don't open them while low on health.
Can I use the Artifacts Mod on Bedrock Edition?
The Artifacts mod is built for Java Edition and is not available for Bedrock. Bedrock players would need a separate addon or behavior pack, which is a different project entirely.
How do I find more artifacts?
Loot more structure chests, explore different biomes and dimensions, and defeat Mimics when you find them. Some artifacts are rarer than others, so variety in where you explore matters.
Are there commands to get artifacts?
Yes — you can use the /give command with the artifact's item ID if you know it, or use creative mode's search tab to find artifacts by name. This is useful for testing or if you're stuck hunting for a specific one.
Will the Artifacts Mod conflict with other mods or hurt performance?
The mod is lightweight and generally plays well with others, but slot-adding mods (like Curios or Trinkets) can overlap with its equipment slots. If you notice issues, check whether another mod is also managing artifact or accessory slots.
