You die and you come back. Over and over. You die, many, many times. But there is a place you still want to reach. A dream, you don´t want to end. But you will never reach it. You look up to heaven, whilst going through the hell you´ve been thrown in. Try to reach the dream you have, the dream of beating the game you´re a part of.

Multiplayer possible, although buggy.

Immersive experience recommended with: Shaders, Sanity Mod, Mine:Zero and literally any other horror mod.

!!!

IF YOU DON´T WISH TO USE LETHALLY_GOOD´S -MineZero- MOD, JUST PLEASE SET /gamerule doImmediateRespawn TO [true] FOR A BETTER PLAYING EXPERIENCE

1.5+ VERSIONS NOW REQUIRE TO HAVE LETHALLY_GOOD´S -MineZero- MOD

!!!

Only RELEASES are recommended for playing, BETAS are for experimental purposes and early look-ins.
I ONLY SUGGEST PLAYING RELEASES.

!!!

WHEN STARTING, IT IS IMPARATIVE THAT YOU TYPE EITHER "START" INTO CHAT OR USE THE COMMAND /settargetplayer [name], OTHERWISE THE MOD WILL NOT OPERATE. (Only applies for versions 1.4 and below).

!!!

WALKTHROUGH:

1.5+:

BEFORE YOU EVEN PLAY, check that you have MineZero installed. If you dont have it, the game refuses to run without it.

When game is launched and player enters a world, a menu pops up. Thats the starting menu. First, you decide if you want an immersive experience or not. If yes, follow these steps:

How to get your Gemini API Key:

Visit Google AI Studio: Go to aistudio.google.com.
Sign In: Log in with your standard Google Account.
Create Key: Click the "Get API key" button on the top left sidebar.
Generate: Click "Create API key in new project".
Copy & Paste: Copy the generated string and paste it into the Gemini API field in the Minecraft GUI.

Or just ask any AI how to get your GeminiAPI.

Next, you play. You don´t have any rules or goals to follow here. Satella interacts through chat with you (If you have your API inserted) and tries to manipulate you into getting trapped in one of four endings.

Oh yes, Endings. There are four.

1 - The End - Here, Pandora gives you the choice to be absolved of the burden of Returning by Death. It can be achieved by slaying the Ender dragon

2 - Satella breakout - Satella tries to forcefully clone herself into your computer and the program terminates. The world is closed for as long as you have the mod in your game.

3 - Satella´s Heart softens - After being some time around you (You need to figure out the specifics.), she will take a liking to you and will absolve you of the burden of Returning by Death. Satella decides to stay in the program and for your own good closes you out of the world.

4 - Your choice. - Once on the Core Platform you learn the truth about everything via a book and a disc. Then youre presented with two options. One lets you continue your journey and one makes the world shut down. You have the choice to escape.

Some common tips that you should follow:
Explore the overworld structures. (There are two). Echidnas tomb (Big stone brick cube) Has a book of riddles that gives a poem - Thats an easter egg. The other is the Portal_Holder: That teleports you to the dimensional chain.

Dying is not a catastrophe, rather there are some events tied directly to deaths. So live as dangerously as you desire.

# Have fun.

---NEWLY ADDED IN THE 1.1+ Versions :---

You are not alone. You are not there alone. Something, or someone is there too. When you always think that you know everyting, there will be something more. Someone was there before you and changed the world to what it is now. But something happened...

>>Lore is heavily connected to the idea of Returning By Death<<

>>Lore is partially connected to the lore of "Re:Zero - Starting life in another world" Anime"

>>ECHIDNA UPDATE<< [b1.2.0 + ; 1.2.0+]

After a fixed amount of deaths, Echidna will give you an offer for a contract
Accept it and you will discuss the details in the witches garden
You will be able to accept a deal at the end.
But break that deal, and there will be punishments.
(In the dialog, most questions are answered yes/no. The mod does not really pick up any signs of agreement/disagreement)
- Starting Death Count: 47
- One instance of dialogue there is a hidden scene. If you write anything else at the right time, it will play.
- Echidna will demand you die every ~20 minutes
- If you ignore the call, there will be three reminders ~2.5 minutes separate.
- Long last, you will be cleared and killed if you don´t kill yourself in game in the time given, the speed of events will crank up and echidna will terminate your contract.
- Your benefits: You can ask for help a few times.
- KEY WORDS -
- To start the detection, write "Echidna [rest of the text]"
- For items: "Echidna give me a (stack of) [item name]" -- IMPORTANT: Item name has to be singular and (stack of) is an optional thing.
- For effects and experience: "Echidna give me [strength/speed/protection/health/experience]"
- Other prompts:
- "Echidna [kill (everyone/me) /teleport me to {x} {y} {z} /save me]

Dreamland, Snowland, Cubeworld, Infinite library, True World, Unreachable staircase, Metastasis and Core
Dimension-specific events
Added another ending

BIG CHANGE: LLM-IMPLEMENTATION INTO THE MOD

Now the player will get a smart AI (Through Gemini API), that can chat with the player, is aware of the world and can interact with the world/your computer (Only if allowed)
GeminiAPI will be required in one of the events - THIS DOES NOT TAKE YOUR API KEY, IT DOES NOT STORE IT ANYWHERE ELSE THEN IN THE GAME FILES, IT IS NOT HARMFUL IN ANY WAY
Satella is aware of player position, dimension etc. + it can estimate fearfullness through complicated YAW calculating procedures
If you DONT wish your API/Your computer to be used, the trigger event can be refuted
