Nodus at a glance

What Nodus does

The client covers Minecraft releases from 1.2 up to 1.8, and its last build is written for 1.8.9. The project is no longer developed, and the 2b2t wiki describes it as unusable on that server.

Around the free download, the client circulates as a torrent with steady seeders and a magnet link, and the .jar and .zip builds get repacked on mediafire and mega link mirrors for Windows, Linux and mac downloads.

• Discontinued client. Nodus is no longer developed, so no new builds follow the last release for 1.8.9.

• Free distribution. The client is distributed free of charge.

Who it is for
