Aetheria, playable.

In Team Minus, we're are all fans of the book series, and wanted, like you, to play in this universe like Kolb or Ione used to. With this idea in mind, we decided to make this experience a reality and share it with other players so their dreams can come true!

We base ourselves as much as possible on the original books written by Cube Kid, and plan to include all the content we can see in the Aetherian universe in this mod.

The features are developed on our free time, so it might take time to update, please forgive us! If you want to keep in touch with us, join our Discord!

Lost?

Don't worry, it might not be easy to really know what to do at first.
Our mod adds new gear (tools, weapons, armors, more?) that you can try to get to defeat the evil, Herobrine, in an peic boss fight!

Of course, quests will guide you in your long jounrey to become the savior of Aetheria. (feature not implemented yet)

All content will be available on our wiki and is availble to read on the Curseforge page.

Installation Troubleshooting

For the best experience, follow this installation tutorial.

1. Download and install the Modrinth App.
2. Create a new instance in version Neoforge 1.21.1 Stable (if you don't see an option for Stable, keep it that way) (Neoforge 21.1.209)
3. Open the "Install content" menu.
4. In the "Mods" section, search for "Diary of an 8-Bit Warrior" an click "Install"
5. Go back to the instance. Curios API and Geckolib should have automatically been installed as well. If not, go back to manually install them
6. Optionally, for better performance, we recommend using Sodium and Lithium.

It is not recommended to play using Optifine, as it is known to break other mods. We provide no official support for players using deprecated versions of the mod (Latest: 2.2, MC 1.21.1, NF 21.1.209)
