Olympus!

**This mod was specifically developed for Minecraft ModJam 2026

Olympus!** is a mod that adds artifacts from the Greek mythological pantheon to the game, each with its own unique abilities and properties. Each artifact you acquire during your adventures, grants you new abilities in combat, quality of life, and farming. The mod also provides new decorative blocks, mobs for battle, and themed structures.

The mod requires Curios API and KnightLib.

GeckoLib is required on 26.1.2 to work.

This mod is highly configurable through the config file. For any questions, problems, contributions, new ideas about content/mods, and more, you can join our official Discord and comment in the appropriate channels.

If you'd like to support the mod, the creators, and help us keep the projects going (and more to come), you can donate via the link below!

Items & Artifacts
Featuring a number of artifacts that you can find in structures while exploring the world. Artifacts are either trinkets that can be equipped in specific curio slots, weapons, or functional items. All artifacts have powerful or simply useful properties.

Aphrodite's Lyre

Even the wildest beasts yield to the melody of the goddes of love. Playing the lyre will charm nearby adult animals into love mode.

Bracers of Zeus

The fury of the storm rests upon your wrists. This artifact must be placed into the Bracelet curio slot. Once equipped, damaging an enemy calls a lightning bolt that leaps to nearby enemies, applying a stun effect.

Artemis's Bow

The moonlight blesses the path of the ultimate hunter. Fires faster arrows that grant better rewards, and grants the ability to heal your tamed animals instead of harming them, transforming incoming arrows into leaves.

Helmet of Hades

Even the shadows of the deep bow before the ruler of the dead. This artifact must be placed into the Head curio slot. It prevents a mortal blow, restoring health and granting a special invisibility effect that makes enemies unable to target the player. Wearing this item also grants extra armor points.

Hermes' Sandals

Step upon the clouds and outrun the wind itself. This artifact must be placed into the Feet curio slot. Equipping this item will grant extra movement speed and a extra jump ability while airborne.

Instruments of Hephaestus

The burning spark of creation still burns within this divine steel. This artifact must be placed into the Belt curio slot. Equipping this item will automatically repair the most damaged tool or armor in the player's inventory, within a cooldown interval.

Persephone's Cup

A sacred chalice where life blossoms from the ashes of death. This artifact must be placed into the Jewelry curio slot. Defeated enemies will drop red souls that will increase the player's attack damage. At full charge, it will prevent death and grant regeneration.

Poppy of Demeter

In its petals sleeps the promise of an eternal harvest. Place it somewhere to accelerate the growth of nearby plants (only works on bonemealable blocks).

Poseidon's Trident

The infinite depths bend to the command of the ocean's lord. Holding this special trident while swimming, will increase the effective speed. Throwing it will unleash a damaging water splash that, before it returns to the player, pushes entities around.

Spear of Ares

A splinter of Olympus's pure wrath. Can be thrown like a normal trident, and pin enemies around to a certain distance (or until block collision). Slaying enemies will charge it, then sneaking mid-fall will summon spears upon landing (landing won't apply damage to the player, independent to the fall distance).

Parthenon Key

Can be used to open a Locked Chest.

---

BlocksProviding various types of decorative and functional blocks made for a variety of buildings and thematic structures.

Pentelic Marble Set

A set of exquisite marble blocks designed by the primordial builders to construct the buildings for their own gods.

Parthenon Terracotta Tiles Set

Made from terracotta, it was used alongside marble to decorate temples.

Climbing Rose

Roses that grew wild on Mount Olympus when the goddess Demeter was staying there. They can grow in all directions, applying bone meal speeds up the growth.

Air Cloud

A special cloud situated on Mount Olympus which prevents fall damage and neutralises movement speed.

Locked Chest

Special chest sealed by the goddess Athena, which can only be opened with a Parthenon Key.

Parthenon Spawner

Located in the Celestial Parthenon, when the player approaches it begins a short challenge in which they must flight off several waves of enemies. It drops the Parthenon Key, along with other treasures.

---

EntitiesHostilities build up over time, specially when you want to steal their most valueable treasures.

Harpy

A hostile enemy that spawns naturally in mountainous biomes, and is also part of the Celestial Parthenon structure challenge. It can carry out close range attacks, fire magical projectiles and perform rapid dashes that can knock down anyone who gets in its way. The dash ability can be cancelled by blocking the attack with a shield.

**Elite Harpy

**A hostile enemy that spawns naturally in mountainous biomes, and is also part of the Celestial Parthenon structure challenge. It can carry out close range attacks, fire up to 3 magical projectiles and perform rapid dashes that can knock down anyone who gets in its way.
