The Aether Team presents the original Aether mod! Maintained and kept up to date for modern versions of Minecraft and fully compatible with multiplayer!

The Aether centers around a dimension high in the sky, filled with vast skylands of clouds and floating islands. This dimension features its own new survival adventure, based around a basic vanilla-esque survival progression that features new ores, mythical mobs, and three perilous dungeons each with their own powerful loot items.

<center><img src="https://github.com/The-Aether-Team/.github/blob/main/images/image0.png?raw=true"></center> <br> <h2><center>☁️ What's in the Mod ☁️</center></h2>

The Aether consists of many new accessible features, most of which are explained in the original forum post for the Aether Collaboration Mod. A brief overview of this content includes:

  • A Hostile Paradise in the sky: the Aether dimension! Just make sure not to fall off of it, or you’ll end up back in the Overworld.
  • A range of new blocks and items accessible from the dimension itself.
  • 3 utility blocks: The Altar, Freezer, and Incubator.
  • 4 material tiers: Skyroot, Holystone, Zanite, and Gravitite, each with their own tools and weapons with unique abilities.
  • The Book of Lore, complete with an entry for every block and item in the mod.
  • An accessory system with a unique GUI that lets you utilize the loot you discover.
  • Mobs both reminiscent of the Overworld and unique to the Aether.
  • Moas: a flying mob mount with different tiers of differing jump counts.
  • 3 new structures to conquer: the Bronze, Silver, and Gold Dungeons, each with their own equipment to loot and bosses to defeat.
  • Eternal Day, only able to be ended once the final dungeon is conquered, then the day cycle can be controlled with a unique utility block: the Sun Altar.

<h2><center>☁️ Getting Started ☁️</center></h2>

To get started with the Aether, you must construct a portal with a Glowstone frame and light it with a water bucket in the middle, this will activate the portal and allow you to step through and enter the dimension. From here you can begin your survival in the Aether’s hostile paradise!

<center><img src="https://github.com/The-Aether-Team/.github/blob/main/images/image1.png?raw=true"></center> <br> <h2><center>☁️ Conquering Dungeons ☁️</center></h2>

The Aether's world contains three new mysterious dungeons, each with a fearsome boss to defeat...

The Bronze Dungeon is the home of the Sentries and guarded by the ominous Slider, a creature born of pure stone. Look out for hidden tunnels through islands and prepare yourself with the best gear you can craft!

The Silver Dungeon is the beautiful Valkyrie Temple. Challenge the knights of the Valkyrie Order and, if you prove worthy, fight the Valkyrie Queen herself. Utilize every tool and trick you can to best this ancient warrior. 

Within the rare Gold Dungeon lies the Sun Spirit, an eternal being of pure fire and energy. He is the God that rules the very Sun itself and will take some convincing to even pay attention to a being such as yourself. But it is rumored he guards some of the best treasure that exists in the Aether.
