Age of Eteria - Installation Instructions

If you want to use this pack to its full extent, you will need to Patch Minecraft with "MCPATCHER" 
(this will fix ALL the bugs related to "HD" Textures, like Fire/Lava on Brick/Gold/Pumpking,
water in the nether, static lava/water, non working compass/clock, and so on...) or install OPTIFINE (Does not include
as many features as MCPATCHER but it does boost the FPS and has special features of its own that make MineCraft
look much better. I personally recommend this one).
