Welcome to Arcadia: Shadowfall
A quest-driven RPG modpack for Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge). Start here.
Welcome to Arcadia: Shadowfall
Arcadia is no longer the realm remembered in old songs. Ancient powers are stirring, forgotten relics are choosing new bearers, and terrible creatures are crawling from the ruins of fallen kingdoms.
The shadow has fallen. Your story begins here.
Arcadia: Shadowfall is a quest-driven RPG modpack for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge. You are not the hero of a story that has already happened. You are the next Shard-Sworn, the one person who can carry the broken Crown of Arcadia, and you have to earn the right.
What makes this pack different
| Feature | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| A real RPG skill system | You spend XP levels to raise skills. Skills decide what gear you can use. See Skills and gear locks. |
| Boss hunting as the main story | Dozens of bosses from many mods, organised into four Seals and a finale. See The Acts. |
| A living economy | Three coin types, a tiered shop, repeatable contracts and reasons to save. See Coins and The Vault. |
| Story worth reading | A lost Queen, a hidden Crown, a Ledger that never fills. See The Lore of Arcadia. |
| Character paths | Six build guides with tiers, gear goals and permanent rewards. See Character Paths. |
| Exploration that matters | The Codex turns every ruin into a page of the story. See The Codex. |

The one rule
Open the quest book (default key O) and follow it. It is not a checklist. It is the game.
