The Aether II
Announcing, Aether II - Highlands
We've been hard at work on our update to the Aether II mod, from a complete rewrite of the mod's code base to a massive overhaul of every concept and aspect of the mod. New textures, blocks, NPCs, structures, you name it. And we're not even warmed up yet. We're back on track to create the best version of the Aether II yet, and we're opening the flood gates to players on Curseforge today.
What is the Aether II?
The Aether II is the sequel to the highly popular dimension mod "The Aether", set in a hostile paradise miles up in the clouds, the Aether is an entirely different world from what regular players are used to, filled with fantastic creatures and mysterious structures, the Aether is a world brimming with life and history. You'll have to relearn key ideas as the Aether challenges you with twisted materials, terrifying monsters and deep lore if you want to survive and prosper in this strange new land.
As the mod comes closer to a final release, Dungeons, Biomes, NPC settlements will pepper the landscape, offering new and exciting challenges and experiences unique to this mysterious world.
Snapshot ("Alpha") Releases
You may have noticed that Aether downloads for Minecraft 1.12.2 are marked as alpha. As with a massive overhaul of a mod, issues are bound to arise. The Aether for Minecraft 1.12.2 is not considered stable yet, but is playable. We recommend staying away from adding the Aether to modpacks or making showcase videos quite yet, as you may run into serious bugs or progression issues.
Dependencies
The Aether II release (1.7.10-1.6) requires GGUtil which can be found here
Aether II - Highlands indev builds (1.12.2-1.0.0+) require Orbis API which can be found here
What's new?
New in 1.12.2 we have a redesigned portal block! The Aether Teleporter! Crafted with just stone and iron you can now access the Aether II's content early on in your survival playthrough.
A new prologue area will guide you into the Aether's world. The new Necromancer NPC will be your contact for getting to the heavenly realm. Explore his tower before heading to the Aether!
The Aether II has also seen a huge face-lift! New textures, mobs, blocks, and structures can be found in the hostile paradise that is the Aether.
Revamped world generation that's better than ever, producing actual islands! Trade secret stuff.

Posted Oct 22, 2018There's a Beta release now, is it more stable than the Alphas? is it stable with 100+ mods?
Or should I wait for an even more stable release maybe?

Posted Oct 22, 2018Flying with the Elytra in The Aether II: Highlands is amazing, the way you fly into the clouds for speedboosts is super satisfying. I hope there will be a way to get an elytra in The Aether II: Highlands when it is done, to make the travel from island to island exciting! :)

Posted Aug 21, 2018The glowstone portal is one of the symbol of aether mod, I think you can add the idea that we first have to get in aether with glowstone portal. Then you can use the aether teleporter to teleport to your portal.
