Arch's Journey Mod
by Jun_c
Arch's Journey Mod, by Jun_c, recreates elements of Poteto143's Arch's Journey series of Minecraft fan projects inside the game.
What it does
The mod brings in the bow abilities that the main character, Arch, uses in the original game, along with the enemy characters that appear there. Gimmicks from the source are reproduced too, including platforms, boxes and rocks that behave as they do in the original. Some content drawn from the sequel is included, and part of it has not yet been revealed by the creator.
The project started as a fan recreation that Poteto143 first saw as a surprise. Jun_c kept adding elements after showing the work to him on November 20, 2022. The mod is meant to reproduce the original game faithfully, and the author states that further elements of the source continue to be added.
The mod runs on NeoForge and needs both the server and every player to have it installed. Files cover Minecraft 1.21.1 and 1.21.4, and the latest NeoForge build is 0.8.4 for 1.21.4, published on 2025-05-08 on the beta channel. The license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, and the project is not open source.

What the author says
This mod is a Minecraft recreation of the work "Arch's Journey" posted by Poteto143 on Scratch, as a surprise for him. (Even after I actually showed it to him on November 20, 2022, I continued to add elements and make other updates.)
