The Aether II
New! The Aether II project now has an official translation hub that can be found here. Consider joining our avid team of translators and help bring the mod to new languages today!
Heads up! Before you get started...
Make sure you have installed a suitable version of Forge for the version of the Aether II you are downloading (it can be found in the download's details page.) Additionally, please be mindful that beta releases are usually incompatible with old worlds. Always create a new world when upgrading to a newer beta release.
If you run into any issues, please do not report them by leaving a comment on this page. We have a dedicated issue tracker and an official Discord server where you can report bugs, crashes, and other issues. You will not receive a reply from us if you use the Curseforge comments section to report issues.
Support Gilded Games
Without your help on Patreon, our re-imagining of Aether II mod wouldn't have been possible. Please consider pledging to help fund development, and you'll receive some special perks in the process! Every pledge goes directly towards development and enables us to continue doing what we love most.
Announcing, the Highlands Update
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.
Installation Guide
You may have noticed that downloads available for Minecraft 1.12 and newer are marked as beta. As with a massive overhaul of a mod, issues are bound to arise. The Aether II 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
The Aether II is installed like any other Minecraft Forge mod, but you may need to install additional mods depending on the version of the Aether you are playing.
Minecraft 1.12+ releases
The latest beta releases for Minecraft 1.12+ do not require any additional mods.
However, if you are using an older release (published before 2019) you will need to install the latest version of OrbisAPI which can be downloaded from our Curseforge page here.
Minecraft 1.7.10 releases
The Aether II releases for Minecraft 1.7.10 require the latest version of Gilded Games Util to be installed.
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.
Biomes! New biomes and island features are now available!
What's next?
We have a lot planned for Aether II. Highlands will launch very soon™ and will have these features and more!

Posted Jun 17, 2019You should make the old glowstone portal a configurable option in the config of the mod once it's completed.

Posted Jun 14, 2019The instructions say to create a new world when updating to a new beta version. It is enough to just delete the Aether dimension and keep the overworld? Or should all dimensions be completely reset?
Thanks in advance!

If you haven't placed any blocks or items from the Aether into the Overworld, you should be fine simply erasing the Aether dimension. As always, make backups.

The only way to find out is to try! We don't maintain a list of compatible mods. The latest release should be stable enough in multiplayer.

I'm not familiar with this version of the Aether, but if it's like in Aether Classic, you need to click a little cloud-looking button near your equipment to bring up the Aether-specific equipment page. The slot for your gloves would be on that page.

Yeah i found out, it came that to get them off and access this special inventory you have to BE in the Aether. Problem was that i was testing the items in the overworld so there wasn't any way to access it. Thanks for the reply

Posted Jun 2, 2019Recently installed, i suppose the upcoming features are still being worked on? As it stands i was just roaming around finding nothing but creatures about, all the chests were empty too. Is this normal right now? Is it lacking content at the moment? Or could it be that i have a bugged world/load?
