Relics is a mod that introduces over 20 new items into Minecraft, offering additional functionality to players at all stages of the game. It’s also compatible with other mods, such as Ars Nouveau with the Reliquified Ars Nouveau mod, from which the Ring of the Spectral Walker originates, adding even more Relics themed around the magic elements and structures from this mod.
Each Relic comes with a single ability or multiple abilities that can be leveled up and upgraded over time. You can learn about all the other available items in our Relics Mod Wiki.
Obtaining
An unusual ring inlaid with special spectral diamonds, renowned for their ability to phase through any material. It can be equipped in the Rings slot.
The Ring of Spectral Walker, a ring introduced in the Ars Nouveau Relics Compat mod, can be found within Ars structures or biomes, as such that it spawns in biomes that align with the Ars theme, containing key terms like Archwood, Flashing, Cascading, Flourishing, Blazing, Esoteric, Enigmatic, Mysterious, Obscure, Cryptic, Occult, Secret, Arcane, Magic, Sorcery, Wizardry, Enchantment, Witchcraft, Spellwork, Necromancy, Divination, Charm, Alchemy, or Ars in the loot table where they have a spawn weight of 600.
Alternatively, the Ring does spawn in Chests with different key terms such as Esoteric, Enigmatic, Mysterious, Obscure, Cryptic, Occult, Secret, Arcane, Magic, Sorcery, Wizardry, Enchantment, Witchcraft, Spellwork, Necromancy, Divination, Charm, Alchemy, Archetype, or Ars where they also have a spawn weight of 600, making it a common find for those that explore the Ars Nouveau structures or biomes.
Relic Quality & Rerolling
When you pick up a Relic, it comes with a quality indicator that you can see by hovering over the portrait image or by looking at the circles underneath it. Each Relic is rated between 0 and 5, based on the quality of its individual abilities.
An ability’s stats can be rerolled, with each stat having a specified minimum and maximum value (refer to the abilities section below for details). To further increase the stats beyond these limits, you will need to use Upgrade Points. Rerolling costs 50 Minecraft Experience for each attempt. Additionally, each time the stats are rerolled, the Luck value will increase by one percent for every stat that hasn’t been successfully improved.
As Luck increases, the likelihood of obtaining better rerolled stats also rises. However, each percentage point of Luck will raise the reroll cost by an additional 5 Minecraft Experience points. For example, at 10% Luck, a reroll would cost 100 Minecraft Experience, while at 50% Luck, the cost would be 300 Minecraft Experience, and so on.
Usage
The Ring of Spectral Walking, is an relic related to the Ars Nouveau Mod, which allows for Relic Bearers to travel underground through blocks, at the expense of Mana. While this Relic is being used, fall damage is ignored, and unsafe locations teleport the player to a previous area.
The area targeted by the Relic would turn a darker color before the player enters it. If the player is in an unsafe location, they will be teleported back to the point where the Relic was initially used or to a safe checkpoint.
Abilities
One ability is available for the Ring of the Spectral Walker: Dissociation. The Ring of the Spectral Walker has a maximum level of 10. A total of 10 Upgrade Points can be obtained through leveling the Ring of the Spectral Walker.
1Dissociation
When activated, it turns nearby blocks into spectral ones, consuming X mana per second. While inside spectral blocks, the player can move forward in the direction they are looking, ignoring gravity and fall damage. If the ability ends while the player is in an unsafe location, they will be teleported to the last safe spot encountered.
Meaning this Relic has an active ability, Dissociation, accessible by the Relic’s ability selection screen, which is set to the ALT key by default. This menu would typically have other abilities from other Relics, so it can be navigated by using the Scroll Wheel, then selected with the left-click.
This Relic ability allows for the Relic Bearer to move through blocks at the expense of Mana, a mechanic introduced by the Ars Nouveau mod. The length of time spent travelling through blocks can be increased by either wearing Ars Nouveau gear that increases Mana, or by upgrading the Relic to maximum where its mana usage is much more minimal.
For this Relic, it is required to hold the left click on the ability in the ability menu until the destination is reached. In the instance that the player runs out of mana or stops using the ability mid-block, the player is safely teleported back to a safe spot, which the Relic Bearer had previously accessed.
It is an intensely useful Relic, allowing players to travel deep underground and through structures in seconds, while also providing a failsafe, as opposed to traveling slowly via mining or other methods. Towards the endgame, it can be used to travel great distances very quickly via temporary underground tunnels.
Dissociation costs 1 Upgrade Points per level, with a maximum level of 10.
Dissociation
VARIABLE | BASE VALUE | MAX VALUE |
|---|---|---|
X | 50 – 75 Mana | 25 Mana |
Experience Sources
Relic Experience is required to level up a Relic, gain Upgrade Points, and spend said points on upgrading abilities. The Ring of the Spectral Walker offers two different ways to obtain Relic Experience.
The first way the Cloak of Concealment can gain upgrade points is by gaining enough Relic points from the use of Mana Barrier, where each instance of absorbing 1.5 or more damage using the Mana Barrier ability awards the Cloak of Concealment +1 Experience points.
Like many other Relics, the Ring of the Spectral Walker makes use of Experience Spreading. Each time any Relic in the inventory gains experience, regardless of the method, the Ring of the Spectral Walker also gains 25% of that experience.
Leveling
The Ring of the Spectral Walker Relic has a maximum level of 10, providing 10 Upgrade Points. The table below shows the cost of upgrading abilities.

Config
To edit the configuration for a Ars Nouveau-compatible Relic, players must update the enabledExtendedConfigs: false option within relics.yaml in their Minecraft config folder, by changing the value to true.
