Description

Forsaken Relics

Items that other mods left behind, brought back as relics.

Remember the Wind Sail, the Luggage, the Linking Book or the Harvest Goddess Band? Many beloved items vanished when their mods were discontinued or never updated. Forsaken Relics brings 28 of them back to NeoForge 1.21.1 and 26.1.2, each reimagined as a relic with its own abilities, modes and rank bonuses, and hidden in fitting loot chests.

All art and code are new. Nothing is copied from the original mods; the relics only carry on their ideas.

Highlights

Wind Staff

Shoulder Dragon

Sonic Glasses

Key of the King's Law

Trowel

Holy Cloak

Witch Hat

Level them up

Every relic levels on its own, no other mod needed. Each one starts at level 0 and goes up to level 30.

  • Experience comes from using the relic, and you can feed it your own experience in the relic screen.
  • Points: every level gives points to put into the relic's stats. At level 30 every stat of a relic can be maxed.
  • Rank bonuses unlock at levels 5, 15 and 25. Any of them can be switched off again, for example to throw only one pickarang.
  • Relic screen: press K with a relic in your hand, or while hovering over one in your inventory. It shows the level, the experience, the stats and the bonuses, and lets you spend or reset points.
  • Modes: press G to switch the mode of the relic in your hand or under the mouse.

Works on its own, better together

Every other mod is optional.

  • Curios: wearable relics go into their slots (charm, belt, necklace, back, body, bracelet, ring, head, shoulders and a quiver slot of their own). Without Curios they work from anywhere in your inventory.
  • Apotheosis: eight extra affixes that only roll on the Shadow Glaive.
  • FTB Ultimine: hold the Ultimine key and a thrown pickarang mines the whole shape and brings it back.
  • Productive Farming (26.1.2): crops the Harvest Goddess Band replants keep the traits of their seeds, and the band's growth counts for raising them.
  • Reliquified Artifacts (1.21.1): the relics count for Mimi-Dust. Put relics you do not need into a chest, dust it, and the mimic drops as many random relics as went in.

The relics also work together and with other mods. Their drops go through the normal drop events, so the Silken Bracelet's Silk Touch or Fortune works for the pickarang and the harvest band, and Looting works on the Shadow Glaive.

Coming from Relics? Forsaken Relics no longer uses the Relics mod. If Relics is installed, the relics still use their own levelling and screen. A relic that was levelled with Relics keeps its level, with all its points free to spend again.

The relics

The relics

Relic From What it does
Shadow Glaive Relics (removed) A thrown glaive that ricochets between enemies; full charges release a shadow saw.
Repair Talisman ProjectE Repairs your gear in pulses, mends nearby players and turns experience into repairs.
Sword of the Zephyr Thaumcraft Whirlwind spin attacks and a wind guard that throws projectiles back.
Harvest Goddess Band ProjectE Reaps ripe crops, melons, pumpkins and tall plants around you, replants them and hurries growing plants.
Evertide & Volcanite Amulet ProjectE Places water or lava like a bucket; water breathing or fire immunity.
Wind Sail OpenBlocks Glide lying flat under a sail, cruise or hover; friends drift down with you.
Soul & Body Stone ProjectE Pulses of healing or nourishment, and a cleanse for harmful effects.
Linking Book Mystcraft Travel home, to your last death or to a written page, and back again.
Golden Eye OpenBlocks Flies towards the nearest structure you choose; reveals unopened loot chests.
Luggage OpenBlocks A walking trunk that follows you, picks up items, bites enemies and stashes your loot.
Crimson Blade Thaumcraft Curses its targets with bleeding, weakness or wither; trade hearts for strength.
Divining Rod ProjectE Counts the ores beneath you and chimes when precious ore is near.
Key of the King's Law Botania Golden portals open behind you and fire swords; a ring of portals for the final strike.
Thundercaller Botania A bow whose arrows chain lightning and call down storms.
Holy Cloak Botania Virtue, Sin and Balance in one cloak: absorbs or returns hits, saves you when low.
Moonworm Queen Twilight Forest Shoots glowing moonworms that stick to any surface as lights, and calls them back.
Pickarang Quark A pickaxe thrown like a boomerang: tunnels, fetches loot and grinds out whole faces; works with FTB Ultimine.
Trowel Quark Builds with random blocks from your hotbar for natural-looking walls, one at a time or like a construction wand (surface, row, column) with a preview; retextures and weathers.
Skillet Farmer's Delight Bonk enemies (stun, sear, flip) and cook food right in the pan.
Quiver Supplementaries Holds several kinds of arrows for bows and crossbows; arrows fly back home.
Lunch Basket Supplementaries Holds food and feeds you when you get hungry.
Shoulder Dragon Ice and Fire A baby dragon on your shoulder breathes fire, ice or lightning at what you hit.
Silken Bracelet Tinkers' Construct Every block drops as if your tool had Silk Touch, or more Fortune.
Miner's Ring Enigmatic Legacy The deeper you are, the faster you mine; ore veins glow through the stone.
Witch Hat Witchery Potions last longer, splash potions too; nearby brewing stands brew faster.
Sonic Glasses OpenBlocks See every sound around you through walls, with the creature that made it; warns of danger.
Wind Staff Hexxit Rides the wind like a jet: hold to fly where you look, or leap; raises a cyclone that spins your foes up.
Biome Staff Biome Staff Takes in the biome of a block and paints it around you in a circle or square; finds the nearest biome it holds and gives land back its own biome.

Each relic has two abilities, several modes and rank bonuses. Wearable relics show on your character: the cloak on your back, the dragon on your shoulder, the hat and the glasses on your head.

Where to find them

There are no crafting recipes. Every relic turns up in chests, chosen by the chest's loot table, its biome and its dimension: the Moonworm Queen in dark forests, the Divining Rod in mines, the Shoulder Dragon in the mountains and the Nether, and so on.

Fair play

The relics are built to never duplicate items or experience. Containers inside relics (quiver, lunch basket, luggage) move real items only, block breaking respects claims and protection mods, and cooldowns survive relogging.
