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.

Biomes! New biomes and island features are now available!

What's next?

We have a lot planned for 2018, Aether II - Highlands will launch from Q3-4 this year and will include the following features:

Official Discord Server

We have our own official Discord server! You can chat with other members of the community and get super secret insights into development.

Orbis API is not listed under dependencies section of the curseforge project, please consider adding it to help reduce mod manager malfunctions.

Please, make the mod compatible with more mods! I placed the Aether II in my modpack and every time I entered the portal the game closed

Same. I'm not sure if it's just one mods or many other mods.

The mod is still in Alpha stage, so is normal a level of incompatibility with other mods. Please report these problems in the Issue tracker so the developers can try to solve them.

In the overview page, they actually recommend not adding this to any modpack. That is no surprise, and they even list a few issues like this that it will bring. Just play in your usual world for a few months until it is finished at the end of this year. That's when you should add it. I imagine it wouldn't have issues to add it halfway through a world as all the new things are in another dimension.

No problem. The owner of Aether II, GildedGames, said somewhere deep in this comment section that they designed the game to be compatible with the original and updated Aether Legacy mod. Since reading that, I'm now going to keep the Aether Legacy mod for fun in the meantime, then add Aether II when it's stable.

Dear Gildedgames team

Thank you for making a beautiful mod a making it anew...

Thank you for making Minecraft a little more interesting ...

And thank you for recreating a mod that had forever changed the modded Mincraft and possibly vanilla community and showed them how to push vanilla boundaries...

Thank you to the creators that made the mod that changed it all

When I go into my inventory, there is no gloves slot. Is there something wrong with my game or has it not been added in yet.

When you open your inventory there will be a small cloud icon next to your character's portrait. Click that to open the Aether inventory where the glove slot is.
