Kirri’s Arcade

A real arcade inside Minecraft.
Six original pixel-art games on arcade cabinets · live screens everyone can watch · tickets and a prize booth with a clerk who hands you your prize

Forge · NeoForge · Fabric | 1.20.1 · 1.21.1 | 18 languages | Multiplayer-ready

Every cabinet plays its own game, made for this mod: drawn pixel by pixel, with sound, levels, power-ups and bosses. Walk up, insert a token and play.

Collect every gold nugget in a cave maze while zombies, spiders, skeletons and creepers hunt you down. Drop TNT to blow them up and open shortcuts through cracked walls, and plant torches to keep them away. Four hand-made caves that get faster every round.

Dig straight down through dirt, stone, deepslate and a molten layer. Your torch is running out: the deeper you go the less you see. Grab glowstone, plant torches, mine ores and watch out for falling gravel, lava, silverfish and bats.

Defend the castle walls at night with a crossbow. Phantoms circle and dive, vexes zig-zag, witches throw potions from the towers, and every fifth wave a ghast boss shows up. Fill the meter and launch a firework rocket. The sky turns to dawn as the waves go on.

A dragon serpent on the End islands. Eat chorus fruit to grow, warp through ender pearl gateways, dodge endermen and shulker bullets, and dash across islands that crumble and rebuild as you go.

A slime paddle and a magma orb against walls of Minecraft blocks: dirt, iron, gold, obsidian, glass and TNT that blows up its neighbours. Power-ups, combos, a SMASH move and hand-drawn levels (a creeper, a sword, a heart, a castle…).

A minecart run through a mineshaft, a lava cavern and a crystal geode. Jump the gaps, duck under beams and bats, hop over creepers and oncoming TNT carts, ride powered rails for double points.

The game runs on the cabinet itself. When someone plays, everyone nearby sees the match live on the machine’s screen. When nobody is playing, each cabinet shows its title, its top 5 high scores and a demo where it plays by itself, with chasing bulbs, a neon glow around the screen and a joystick and buttons that move.

• Insert an Arcade Token (crafted from a copper ingot and a gold nugget, free in creative) and play.
• Your score turns into prize tickets, and the cabinet spits them out when you finish.
• Trade them at the prize booth: a 3-block counter with a glowing PRIZES sign, prizes on the shelves and spinning in the display case, and a clerk who greets you, takes your tickets, fetches your prize from the shelf and hands it over.

Prizes: plushies (creeper, phantom, ender serpent, slime, miner, pig), giant plushies, bronze, silver and gold trophies, a tabletop mini arcade, a neon sign, arcade carpets, and a few vanilla treats.

• 6 arcade cabinets, each with its own side art and lit marquee
• The prize booth with its clerk
• Arcade neon signs and two arcade carpets (cosmic and neon)
• Plushies, giant plushies, trophies and the mini arcade to decorate

• Install it on the server and every client, same version
• Fabric also needs Fabric API

What are the controls? Arrows or WASD to move, Space for A, Shift for B, Esc to pause (Esc again to leave).

How do I get tokens? Craft a copper ingot with a gold nugget (you get 4), or buy more at the prize booth. In creative you play for free.

Can I make it free to play? Yes: freePlay in config/kirrisarcade.json. There you can also change the ticket multiplier, the max tickets per game and turn the live screens off.

Are these copies of real arcade games? No. All six games, their art and their rules are original, made for this mod.

Can I use it in my modpack? Yes. Just link back to this page.
