Craft it, place it, compose without XP. Nine artifacts, tipped arrows, and a costly path to rebuild Relics.

Description
Artificer's Workbench
Matter, alchemy, and arcana on one bench. Never experience.
Craft the Artificer's Workbench, put it down, click it. Two tabs: Artificing and Relics. One click is one atomic job — if the recipe is not valid, nothing is spent. Break the block: it comes back once, with whatever was still on it. Hoppers cannot feed it.
This is not the Enchantment Workbench. That bench pulls, copies, and evokes enchantments. This one builds things: tipped arrows, nine rechargeable artifacts, and (if a Relic mod is installed) a deliberate rebuild of a Relic you did not find.
It is not a Relic. Relics are rare finds. The Workbench is a station you craft before the Nether. The vanilla crafting table stays.
Creative still pays materials. Never XP. Never fuel.
Crafting
No Nether ingredients.

Iron for structure. Gold for special work. Amethyst for resonance. Lapis for ordinary magic. Diamond for stability. The table is the craft.
Artificing
Tipped arrows first, so the bench is useful before any artifact. Eight arrows, a drinkable potion that actually has effects, one lapis → eight tipped arrows. The bottle comes back. The 8-minute (redstone) or strong (glowstone) version also asks one amethyst. Water, mundane, awkward, thick, splash, and lingering do not match.
Then nine artifacts. They do not burn up. They discharge and you Infuse them again — right-click the artifact, not the bench.
Active only in the hotbar, at most three types (leftmost slots). A fourth sits idle until you remove an active one; then the next from the left takes its place. Same type twice: the leftmost copy works. Idle in the hotbar costs nothing.
HUD sits to the right of the hotbar, a short column upward: icon and percent. It does not sit on the health bar.
Work costs 1 charge every 6 seconds (effects still tick every second). Full bar 100 ≈ 10 minutes of work — longer than an 8-minute vanilla potion. Trial charge 20 ≈ 2 minutes. Fill it with Infuse before a long trip.
They mitigate. They do not cancel the world.
Frost Warden and Ember Warden were made for Cold Sweat heat and cold. Cold Sweat is not required: without it they still work from nearby lava, magma, fire, ice, and snow.
| Artifact | What it does | It does not |
|---|---|---|
| Frost Warden | Cools you when you are too hot. Built for Cold Sweat (Nether heat included); nearby lava/magma/fire if CS is not installed | Lava, fire, direct damage (that is Ash Aegis) |
| Ember Warden | Warms you when you are too cold. Built for Cold Sweat; ice/snow blocks if CS is not installed | A Nether requirement (Nether only recharges better) |
| Depth Lung | Restores air while submerged and drowning | Swim speed, mining, night sight underwater |
| Twilight Eye | Sight when light is actually low (no vanilla Night Vision fade) | Blindness, Darkness, ore ESP |
| Sky Feather | Cancels fall damage on landing | The Void. Walking costs nothing |
| Purifying Heart | Clears Poison and Wither | Every other debuff |
| Ash Aegis | Puts out fire each second | Fire Resistance: lava still hurts |
| Hand of Calling | Pulls dropped items within 6 | Inventories, mobs, XP, shots, through walls |
| Veil of Silence | Mutes your Sculk vibrations | Invisibility, other players' steps, extra Warden rules |
Gold is not generic currency. It shows up on special work: the Veil, and Relic Reconstruction.
A short illustrated player handbook (recipes, icons, Infuse) is on the studio site, in English, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese: worldsfromblocks.com/projects/minecraft/artificers-workbench. Match the handbook version to the jar.
Artifact recipes
On this bench, Artificing tab — not the vanilla crafting table. Materials and arcane cost are separate. Cost numbers appear as soon as the ingredients match (red until paid, green when met). Each craft starts at 20 charge / 100.
| Artifact | Base | Components | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frost Warden | Packed ice | Snow block, ice, iron ingot | 4 lapis, 4 amethyst, 2 emeralds |
| Ember Warden | Campfire | Coal, charcoal, iron ingot | 4 lapis, 4 amethyst, 2 emeralds |
| Depth Lung | Heart of the Sea | Pufferfish, prismarine shard, kelp | 4 lapis, 3 amethyst, 1 emerald |
| Twilight Eye | Spyglass | Glow ink sac, lantern, amethyst shard | 3 lapis, 4 amethyst, 1 emerald |
| Sky Feather | 8 feathers | Phantom membrane, leather | 3 lapis, 3 amethyst, 1 emerald |
| Purifying Heart | Golden apple | Glistering melon slice, honeycomb, milk bucket (bucket returned) | 4 lapis, 4 amethyst, 3 emeralds, 1 diamond |
| Ash Aegis | Shield | Charcoal, leather, iron ingot | 4 lapis, 3 amethyst, 2 emeralds, 1 diamond |
| Hand of Calling | Hopper | Redstone, iron ingot, amethyst shard | 2 lapis, 3 amethyst, 1 emerald |
| Veil of Silence | 8 white wool | Echo Shard, gold ingot | 2 lapis, 2 amethyst, 4 gold |
Infuse
Right-click the artifact. Charge never uses XP. The 8-minute bottle is the vanilla potion extended with redstone in the brewing stand (Slow Falling becomes 4 min). It is not a custom item.
| Artifact | Recharge |
|---|---|
| Frost Warden | Snowball +8 · ice +16 · snow block +24 · packed ice +32 |
| Ember Warden | Coal or charcoal +8 · campfire +24 · magma block +40 |
| Depth Lung | Pufferfish +16 · Water Breathing (3 min) +24 · Water Breathing 8 min (redstone in the brewing stand) +36 |
| Twilight Eye | Glow ink sac +12 · lantern +16 · Night Vision (3 min) +24 · Night Vision 8 min (redstone in the brewing stand) +36 |
| Sky Feather | Feather +8 · Slow Falling (1:30) +24 · Slow Falling 4 min (redstone in the brewing stand) +36 |
| Purifying Heart | Honey bottle +20 · milk bucket +32 |
| Ash Aegis | Magma cream +16 · Fire Resistance (3 min) +24 · Fire Resistance 8 min (redstone in the brewing stand) +36 |
| Hand of Calling | Iron or redstone +8 · amethyst shard +12 |
| Veil of Silence | White wool +8 · Echo Shard +32 |
Relics (optional)
Relics are still found. Reconstruction is a long, expensive alternative to luck — not a cheaper one.
Arcane Fragments are one item type, many pieces, easier than Relics (~22% in dungeon, mineshaft, buried treasure, shipwreck, desert pyramid, jungle temple, stronghold corridor, village temple chests; 1–2 per hit). Eight fragments + 4 amethyst + 1 diamond + 4 gold → a Relic Core on this bench.
The Core does not pick the Relic. You do. Each Relic mod registers its own rebuild. Without those mods the Relics tab stays empty: find Relics in the world. The Workbench does not require HAVEN, TRACE, ECHO, ANCHOR, CAGE, or RECLAIM.
What it is not
No XP. No hoppers. No fuel. No Enchantment Workbench. No altar, no SPELL, no tomes. No free Relic. No biome-name temperature. No permanent Strength, regen, or Mending. The vanilla crafting table remains.
