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.
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 Jan 5, 2019Hello, we have a singleplayer world started without Aether II. Now, we would like to play Aether II in our old world, but the game crashes. I have read, that Aether II must be started in a new world. Is there a fix to get it working in an old world?

Posted Jan 5, 2019Could you add spawn rate settings and a Genesis of the Void model toggle into the config file? I love the idea of more dungeons, but not the new beasts and models. Another thing that would be much appreciated is a setting that re-enables the glowstone portal and disables the Outpost. I, and many others in this community really enjoy the pre-highlands aether II and feel great nostalgia for Genesis of the Void. Thank you, and good luck finishing up the mod. God speed.

It's much more stable than Aether 2, but doesn't have some of the new features.

Posted Dec 17, 2018I have some problems when I play this with AE2. It seems to be faulty and I can not run games unless I drop one of them out my mods file.
Is there any best solution for this case? Thanks

Posted Dec 4, 2018When I add Aether II and its dependency/ies and try to create a new world, nothing happens. "Loading world" is on the screen for a few seconds, then it's just the plain dirt background. I left it running for 15 minutes unattended just in case it was a loading issue, but nothing happened and the only way to close the program was with task manager. I have 8 GB of RAM allocated to Minecraft, so I know that's not the problem. Perhaps it doesn't work well with one of my other mods but doesn't inform me of the conflict.

they also took down their forum because people without crash logs were called "liars" and "spammers" and "a waste of their time"
