🧩 What is PaperArtifacts?
PaperArtifacts brings the beloved Paper & Spigot experience to Paper & Spigot servers as an addon for %%MD1%%.
It adds Mimics with custom textures that players can discover through Mimics — underground structures that generate naturally in your world. Some chests in those campsites might be Mimics — hostile mobs disguised as chests that attack when opened!

Every item is fully configurable, has a custom resource pack model, and works out of the box.

🏕️ Campsites & Mimics
Abandoned campsites generate underground in caves. They contain beds, crafting stations, furnaces, barrels, and loot chests — some with artifacts inside.

But be careful — some chests are actually Mimics. They look like normal chests, but when you open one, it transforms into a hostile mob with custom animations and sounds. Mimics only exist inside campsites and won't activate unless you interact with them. Defeat one to earn a random artifact!

Chests can also be trapped with TNT underneath. Exploration is rewarding — but risky.
