Hide Artifacts
Minecraft mods like Artifacts add incredible depth to the game, introducing wearable trinkets that grant unique abilities. However, those same trinkets can quickly clutter your screen, especially in first-person view. The Hide Artifacts resource pack offers a simple, elegant solution: it makes all those 3D artifact models invisible without removing their functionality. You keep the buffs, but lose the visual noise.
What Is Hide Artifacts?
Hide Artifacts is a lightweight resource pack designed specifically for the popular Artifacts mod by ochotonida. The Artifacts mod adds a variety of wearable items—like the Cloud in a Bottle, Night Vision Goggles, or Lucky Horseshoe—that appear as 3D models on your character. While these look great in third person, they can block your view when you are mining, building, or fighting. This pack strips away those models entirely, so you never have to see them in first-person or on other players. It is not a separate mod; it is a resource pack that overrides the model files, making it incredibly easy to toggle on and off.
Why Use This Resource Pack?
Many players love the Artifacts mod but find the constant visual presence of trinkets distracting. Here is why Hide Artifacts for Minecraft has become a must-have companion:
- Clean first-person view: No more floating goggles or glowing orbs blocking your crosshair while you are in combat or precision-building.
- Multiplayer clarity: Other players’ artifacts are hidden too, so you can see their actual skins and armor without a jumble of trinkets.
- Zero performance impact: Since it only replaces model files, it does not add any extra processing load. Your game runs just as smoothly.
- Easy to toggle: You can enable or disable the pack anytime from the resource pack menu, letting you switch between full visual flair and a clean screen in seconds.
How to Install Hide Artifacts for Minecraft
Installing Hide Artifacts is straightforward, even if you have never used a resource pack before. Follow these steps to get a clutter-free experience:
- First, make sure you have the Artifacts mod installed and working on your game. The resource pack does nothing without it.
- Download Hide Artifacts from a trusted Minecraft community site. The pack usually comes as a .zip file.
- Launch Minecraft and navigate to Options > Resource Packs.
- Click Open Resource Packs Folder to open the file explorer.
- Move the downloaded .zip file into this folder. Do not unzip it.
- Back in the game, you will see Hide Artifacts in the available packs list. Click the arrow to move it to the active side.
- Click Done and load your world. The trinket models will now be hidden.
For those who prefer a streamlined setup, the foxygame.net launcher includes Hide Artifacts in its curated add-on catalog, allowing you to install it with a single click and automatically keep it updated alongside your mods. This removes any guesswork about version compatibility and ensures the pack always matches your current modloader.
Compatibility and Supported Versions
Hide Artifacts is built to work seamlessly with the Artifacts mod on both Forge and Fabric loaders. It supports a wide range of Minecraft versions, including the most popular ones like 1.20.1, 1.19.2, 1.18.2, and 1.16.5. Because it is a resource pack, it does not depend on a specific modloader version; as long as the Artifacts mod is present and the pack’s file structure matches the mod’s assets, it will function. Always check the pack’s description for the exact version it was designed for, but in most cases, a pack made for one minor version will work on subsequent patches within the same major release.
If you are using a modpack that bundles Artifacts, simply add Hide Artifacts to your resource packs list. It will not conflict with any other mods or resource packs, because it only overrides the specific model files for trinkets. You can even stack it with other visual packs like shaders or texture overhauls without issues.
When to Keep the Artifacts Visible
While the pack is fantastic for everyday play, you might occasionally want to see your trinkets—for example, when showing off a rare artifact to friends or recording a cinematic. Since the pack is a resource pack, you can disable it in seconds without restarting the game. This flexibility makes it a perfect addition to any modded setup: hide the clutter during intense gameplay, then reveal the full cosmetic glory when you want to admire your character.
Final Thoughts
Hide Artifacts fills a small but important gap for Artifacts mod users. It respects the original mod’s mechanics while giving you full control over your visual experience. Whether you are a builder tired of a floating umbrella blocking your sight, or a PvP player who needs every pixel of screen real estate, this resource pack delivers. The next time you download Hide Artifacts, you will wonder how you ever played without it. Enjoy a cleaner, more focused Minecraft adventure where the only thing in your way is the next block you place.
