Arc Raiders
by ReddedOut
Arc Raiders brings the enemies, gear and weapons of the Arc Raiders game into Minecraft as a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1.
What it does
Arc Raiders adds a set of hostile creatures modeled on the Arc Raiders game, each with its own AI and hitbox. Players also gain six equipment sets that can be dyed individually, fourteen guns, special armour repair kits and more than sixty custom items to collect and craft. Other raiders can be fought, and raider flares can be fired into the sky to mark a position or signal a player's death.
The mod needs Curios API and SmartBrainLib installed alongside it. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20 and 1.20.1, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Iconic hostile creatures
Eight enemy types from the game join the world, each with its own behaviour and collision box.
Six dyeable equipment sets
Six armour sets modeled on the game's gear can each be dyed separately to match a player's loadout.
Fourteen guns
Fourteen weapons with distinct handling give players ranged options to pair with the new enemies.
Armour repair kits
Dedicated repair kits restore worn armour, so players can keep their equipment in use between fights.

Use cases
Fighting raiders
Players can take on other raiders, gain kills and upgrade the raider tag that tracks their progress.
Signalling with flares
Raider flares fired into the sky show other players a position, and they also announce when a player is killed.
Who it’s for: Players who want Arc Raiders enemies and weapons in a survival world, and server owners who run a shared world where the creatures and gear should be available to everyone.
How it compares
Simple Raider Guns is a NeoForge-only, client and server mod for 1.21.1 under All rights reserved, so it does not cover the Forge build for 1.20.1 that Arc Raiders provides. Arc's Dutiful Armor is NeoForge-only for 1.21.8 – 26.1 under the Apache License 2.0, a later version range with no overlap. Gunstrike is a Forge mod for 1.21.4 – 1.21.5 under the MIT License, so it also targets different versions.
