INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Starting from 2.2 you will need two more dependency mods to play - GeckoLib and CuriosAPI

- Download GeckoLib from here

- Download CuriosAPI from here

- To play on NeoForge 1.21.1 you will need to use Adorned (In 2.2.1 we will use CuriosAPI like for 1.20.1), get it here

2. Put both CuriosAPI and GeckoLib in your "mods" folder in AppData/Roaming/.minecraft

3. Download our mod and put it beside the two dependency mods in the "mods" folder.

4. Have fun playing!

It is a good idea to allocate at least 4GB of RAM to Minecraft for smoother experience. OptiFine doesn't seem to work with NeoForge 1.21.1 and we don't encourage the players to use it. To improve performance, you can use Sodium or Embeddium
To start off you can use this nice seed: 3107870172884293147

ABOUT OUR PROJECT

This mod is based on Cube Kid's book series Diary of an 8-Bit Warrior. We aim to bring the features of the fantasy world of Aetheria to Minecraft. The mod is still not finished and we will continue updating it. Please keep in mind we work on this project in our free time so updates might not be too frequent.
The mod adds tools, items, blocks, structures and entities from the series' universe. We also made the Aeon Forge which is used to craft advanced items. For crafting recipes check the "Images" on this page or craft "Knowledge Book" that has all recipes inside. In the future updates it is planned that the villagers living in the Villagetown, you spawn in each time you create a new world, will give you quests and send you to retreive items from dungeons for rewards. Stay tuned for 2.2.1.

WHAT IS MY GOAL IN THIS MOD?

Play as you like, but if you are looking for an "ending" your main objective is to get the best armor, weapons and tools and fight against Herobrine. If you succeed you will be rewarded with items and collectibles. Each time you defeat him, there is a chance he will drop different items. Be aware that he's not an easy foe so thorough prepearations are advised. Have fun and good luck!

CHANGELOG:

Latest version 2.2_1 bugfix update released 6.4. 2025
This is a small bugfix update
Fixed crash when attempting to mine a block with Dwarven Grace enabled
Improved the system of detecting if a world has been played before or not for Villagetown. No more SERVER and CLIENT versions
Corrected Adamant armor items' names
Added deepslate Adamant variant
Fixed Mythril armor texture
Fixed spawning of Adamant ores
It is highly recommended to update to this version

If you encounter a bug or have a feature idea, join our discord and suggest it here, or go to our website where you can tell us on our forum. We appreciate your feedback!

NOTE:
It is recommended to play without OptiFine. The reason is it breaks some of the models and they don't render properly. For performance boost you can use alternate mods like Embeddium and for shader support use Oculus mod. We will provide no support regarding visual glitches to players using OptiFine.
