It would be nice to have some way to disable the artifacts visually, even through an extra options menu like the skin menu.
Ideally not as a config option since I'd like to disable it on myself but I don't want to disable it on other people too.

Curios already provides buttons to toggle cosmetics, I'm assuming this is a fabric-specific request? If it is, you should put it on the issue tracker of the fabric version 🙂
