Arcwise - Puffish Skill Tree
by JosipFX
Arcwise gives players a skill tree built on Pufferfish's Skills, offering a simpler alternative to McMMO-style progression for survival and adventure worlds.
What it does
Arcwise is built on top of Pufferfish's Skills and needs Pufferfish's Attributes alongside it, with both dependencies installed at matching versions before Arcwise is added. Once they are in place, players start a world with the mod loaded and the skill tree becomes available without any extra setup.
The mod aims at players who want a basic, approachable progression system instead of a heavy RPG layer. It sits in the Technology category and also touches Adventure, Game mechanics, Equipment, Magic, Mobs and Utility, so its effects reach several parts of the game. Arcwise describes its goal as making gameplay smoother and more enjoyable, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.
Arcwise is the client and server environment, so the server and every player need the same mod set. Its files cover 1.18.2 – 1.21.10 across 17 release versions, and the latest builds are 1.2 for 1.21.10 on Fabric and NeoForge and 1.2 for 1.20.2 on Forge, all dated 2026-01-11. The code is available as source, and the license is All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

RPG skill tree is under the MIT License, is not open source, and also lets clients leave it out, with files for 1.20 – 1.21.11.
