There have been mentions in closed issues and vaguely in comments on the mod pages that the artifact GUI can be disabled via resource packs, but there's no clear information on how to do so for those who wish to play without artifacts.
Requesting a guide or pre-compiled resource pack to be added to either the CurseForge pages or the wiki, thanks!

I'll be on that soon. Wanted to get that done already, but I've been distracted by a very puzzling 1.18.2 crashing bug, which obviously takes priority.

I'll chekc if someone can do a quick write up for me.
