Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread (v0.14.07 released!)
Adamant 0.14.06 is released! You can find it at the Adamant Mod Website, located on SE.net, linked in my sig. As always, the Lite file makes a good patch. Race Pack is not necessary to upgrade if you have 0.14.05 installed. If you have 0.14.04 or earlier, it is recommended that you download the Race Pack as well as Lite to patch your Version of the mod.
