One of the main programmers of the Aether Team here, thank you for the great showcase! This is a really good overview of the mod's content and does well to go into everything important over a short span of time. It is also nice to see brief mention of minor design details that I don't think most players are aware of, like the Smite buff for the Holy Sword (something I actually had implemented when working on the sword, and fun fact there's actually a similar buff for the fire-inflicting weapons as well, among others). This is a video that looks to have had a lot of attention put into it and is overall quite well made and also very accurate in its explanations and coverage of the content.
If you want to, there is the Aether Lost Content. A mod made by the Modding Legacy, it's basically a DLC for the Aether Mod. It adds the content that was removed + some extra content for the Aether Mod. It was also ported to 1.19.4, so if you want to, you could do a follow-up video showcasing it.
still remember loading up vanilla minecraft and being confused why the portal wasnt working. its cool to see theres still a lot of people that still remember too
So cool to see this mod, one of the first ever developed for Minecraft back in the Beta days, back in the latest version. I hope development for Aether II is going well; haven't heard much from that in a long while.
As someone who was playing a lot during the beta days Aether was FAR from being one of the first mods, it was just one of the most popular with Mo Creatures
Its really cool to see this mod basically revived like this! I have a couple of nitpicks here and there (One being why do you need to use a special staff to make the Moa sit when you could just crouch-right-click? Its a weird trope in mods that I've never understood), but that's all they are: nitpicks. Minor things that really dont matter much overall. If I ever get around to playing Minecraft again, I'm absolutely gonna use this! Maybe with one or two other mods (As well as Lost Content (Maybe Deep Aether), cause of course), but nothing too drastic. :)
@@yourehereforthatarentyou It just feels weird to me to need a separate item to make them sit or do things. Especially if you have multiple mods that do that and those staffs can end up cluttering your inventory. :P Again, it's just a nitpick, nothing too big.
What I am most happy about with this is that, this is "The Aether". Not the weird Aether 2 RPG that the team is also working on. When they originally announced Aether 2, way back in I think MC version 1.10.2 ( it was that long ago, or even longer). It was just a Aether revival, with dungeon crawling elements that I enjoyed. But then they started making it into a RPG with characters and lore- and I lost interest. So its genuinely nice to see that the Aether Legacy team finally put this bad boy out!
mojank saying theyll never implement the aether into vanilla because theyre focusing on "unique" content is the dumbest thing ive ever heard. if this was in the game, it would make minecraft even more enjoyable. too bad its only a mod;(
Yeah its definitely better off as its own mod... it doesn't fit the vanilla style of minecraft, like a sun deity? Sure its cool, but its better fitted in a dungeon game, maybe minecraft dungeons.
It definitely would, but you’d have to make this feature compatible with every version from then on, make sure that it’s compatible, completely, with phones, tablets, laptops, PC’s, consoles, Windows, Mac, and Linuxes. Then you’d have to make sure players of a wide range of age demographics could easily digest all the strange new features of a dimension that they’ve never heard of, and then you’d have to make sure that it’s not a useless feature and that it’s essential to the game loop Sounds easy! Mojang should totally add this non-Minecraft DIMENSION to Minecraft
Best part about it being on 1.19 as well is the fact anything learned from vanilla data packs can directly be implied to the mod as well, opening the door for a far more expanded aether experience than what was ever possible in the past.
Hopefully they can tweak the difficulty with netherite armor in mind especially when its fully enchanted, it trivializes the difficulty of the aether in its current state
This is highly unlikely. The team wants to have the aether be somewhat self contained and is balancing around you having nothing going into the aether. Which is silly but it was also how the original version of the mod was made in mind being a new game in an existing world.
Wait, currently Overworld equipment works in the Aether? Bare with me, my knowledge upkeep here is years old, but isn't Overworld equipment supposed to borderline not work whatsoever up in the Aether? Armor being weak and brittle, tools being too weak to mine anything?
Thank God it's back, the other versions of aether we've had over the last few years have been questionable to say the least. I hope this team continues to update and add more features in the style of the original.
Yes the aether will be updated to newer mc versions but no new contents. The "questionable” versions you talk about is probably the aether 2. The aether 2 was really unfinished for now.
Saw this and went, aether legacy got updated cool, but then i saw it was the OG aether mod and I’m just…. Flabbergasted. That’s a what, decade and a half hiatus? I have cousins that were born during that hiatus that are old enough to be left home alone.
I never thought I’d hear about this amazing thug mod again, but I’m glad to see that a legendary mod so big that everyone was trying to enter the aether is back and in the latest version
Loved the video @Noxus! Can't wait for the next video man! I was wondering if anyone in the Modding Community had a video about the Aether Mod and I'm glad you did. This is basically more or less Genshin Impact in Minecraft with how vibrant the Colors are and all the Mobs and Dungeons that are included. Although, I think there actually is a Genshin Impact mod for Minecraft, but it's not actually referred to as Genshin Impact due to Copyright.
Despite hatred over new textures after release 1.14 - the fact that Aether follows vanilla's style is actually good in this case, because Aether always felt like a light version of the overworld. Oh and personally - Aether in its OG style (worldgen, dungeons etc) is by far the most preferable and just gorgeous af, keep it that way regardless of versions and the mod will live forever (!)
Its unfortunate that they chose to release it solely on 1.19.4 when the majority of other good mods have been stuck at 1.19.2. Hopefully they backport.
funny thing is for 1 Kingbdogs alreadt hired by mojang by now and 2 1.21 updates seems somewhat reminicent to that Aether Dungeon also as a bonus. Warden were made by Kingbdogz Himself
Wow, so much of the cool gear from the Aether mod is kinda redundant in modern Minecraft. I guess that could be seen as the mod being ahead of its time back in its time.
The Aether is accesed through building glowstone in a portal frame and lighting it with ice. It consists of a series of various floating islands. Most of the islands are composed of aether grass and soil in the surfase with holystone composing the base and some quicksoil patches surounding it. In the sky you can found some cloud blocks, wich depending on the color have a unique function(white ones makes you fall through them, golden act as safe pads, and blue ones make you jump very high by just stepping on them). There are some special islands with unique features in them: -Quicksoil desert: Presence of giant hollow trees, the leaves of the trees have a chance of giving golden apples and rarely enchanted ones. -Crystal woodland:Forest where ores are found everywhere, from copper to diamond, ores can be spotted even on the surface, blessed debris can also be found in here more frequently. Flowers and trees of some ores can be found ocasionally here, the trees gemstone leaves have a rare chance of dropping a sappling of any ore tree. Rarest island. wood of ore trees can be crafted into 4 of said ore but no sapplings) -Wonder lake: A big and mystical lake with trees surrounding it, hostile mobs can spawn there even when it's daytime because the trees block the sun, you can travel though the lake via jumping in giant lily pads or swimming, it is the only place where you find rainbow skycoral wich can be turned into any coral block by combining it with the dye of the coral you wish, you can also found cloud sea grass and holy algae. The biome makes any animal born through breeding spawn as their rarest version(Turtles that hatch there will aways hatch ruby, axolotls will aways be blue, pandas will aways be brown and etc). -Trapflower field: A place with an aboundance of all types of trapflowers and butterspans. Nothing really useful here. Gravitite works the same as sand or gravel but will instead go upwards instead of falling. Can be chiseled, turned into gravitone, brick and etc. Holystone and its variant mossy holystone works just like normal stone and can be fond on the base of any island. Blessedoak trees are found in all islands except for crystal florests, they have a grey woodset an their leaves are white. Goldaoba are giant and hollow trees found only in quicksoil deserts, theey have a golden woodset and leaves, those who can drop golden apples when broken and rarely enchanted ones. Ore trees are found exclusivilly in crystal forests and their wood is made of ore blocks, wich when mined gives the player brute ores. Their leaves have a chance of dropping the refined ores or sapplings for the ore tree. Sunwood trees can be found on any island except for crystal woodlands, their woodset is degra d from red to yellow that glows. Solar twilight birds can be found near these trees. Moonwood trees can be found on any island except for crystal woodlands, their woodsef is a degra d from green to purple that glows. Lunar Twilight birds can be found near these trees. Berry bushes can be found in all islands and will give, sweet berries, glow berries or dark berries. Flowers of all colors can grow in any block on any side of them. Can be crafted into dyes and emmit particles around them of the respective color. Cloud grass is a variation of the grass found on the overworld. Rainbow blocks generate when clouds come in contact with water turning them into rainbow blocks depending on the flower present on top of them. Freezer are powered by ambrosyus and is used to freeze blocks and turn others in special frost variats(water in ice, stone in holystone, lava in obsidian, quicksoil in quicksoil glass and etc). The altar is powered by ambrosyus and with it you can restore equipment to a perfect state. Enchanted aether grass is obtained through freezers and buff crop growth when they are planted in it. Enchanted berries are obtained when any berry is put in a freezer and when consumed gives saturation and speed. Aetherite is obtained by combining aetherite scraps(obtained via blessed debris being put in a freezer) with silver ingots, it is the same as netherite but instead of fire resistence it gives fall damage resistence. Ambrosyus is find in any island in their holystone bottom layers and serve as the "coal" for freezers. There are two dungeons in the Aether: -The Rune Labirinth: Made of sentry stone and carved stone can be accesed through holes in the islands that looks like caves, there you can fight the Slider. -The Valkyrie Temple: Can be accesed through rainbow bridge made of rainbow blocks that connect the temple to an island.
sorry to reply without having anything relevant to say, but i've never seen anyone else with my pfp. for a second, i thought i somehow left this comment
Does anyone know if this will be ported to Fabric? That would be really neat! Edit: A Fabric version will be available after the full release of the Forge version! :)
I remember the good days, watching minecraft videos, and when this mod came out I loved it so much. It just hit so differently and was so aesthetically pleasing to me
While I'm of the opinion the Aether hasn't been relevant for years, I will say it's impressive how loyal each update has been, and what an impact it had giving us other dimensional mods like the Twilight Forest, Erebus and The Betweenlands. Glad to see it still kicking around :)
Nah i beat the valks dungeon w full enchanted iron set n diamond sword n axes, shield, gapples, totems n that white thingy that gives u regen when u eat it, its ez all u need is a damn skill
The Deep Aether mod adds Stratus ingots (aether netherite) and can be made by mixing all aether ores with sterling cloud found at the highest layer of the clouds. Very cool!
Isn't 1.19.2 almost the same as 1.19.4? Why can't there be mod loaders that don't break with every small update and force you to update the mod every time but instead work on most updates unless they're a big change?
@Gamer Mapper 1.19.4 is more different than 1.19.3 is from 1.19.2 and they alter certain things like libraries and methods of getting stuff to function which mods depend on, breaking certain mods with updates
@@shrektheogrelord6435 There are also a couple of forge changes made post 1.19.2 that the mod relies on, but they're still going to port it to 1.19.2 despite that.
They should make it so that netherite armor/tools have the same stats as diamond in this dimension and vice versa for the special aether armor in the nether
my only gripe with the original aether is honestly just that some of the features from the scrapped aether ii genesis of the void arent in it genesis of the void was the version of the mod i really fell in love with hard so its super weird not having green && purple aerclouds or other various things from it like the different altar
There will be an official addon for the original aether called ”genesis”, which will add (almost) all the content that was in genesis of the void, including green, purple clouds, ect.
@@lovique yknow after finding out from this comments section about the lost content addon and the deep aether addon; the idea of those plus genesis of the void content in modern day post 1.18 minecraft is so unbelievably hype; at least assuming they dont conflict with eachother this is great news though
Would've been cool if the wings let you fly endlessly. To take flight, tap the spacebar, just like a bird. Then it's like regular elytra flying. But to gain more height, you have to tap the spacebar to the wished height. That would be cool, and that the wings actually flapped like a bird.
You can now only tame the skypigs, and you will need a saddle and a golden carrot on a stick to ride them, they are able to fly up for 7 seconds before going back down slowy. Cloud sheep are a horned varied of long sheep that can be seen leaping into the air and falling back down slowy, they also will launch the player off the island if provoked. The Moofly are found in groups and when one is attacked the others will fly away. The trapflowers will multiplicate once the spore they throw at the player hit skygrass, it can become a chomper trapflower, a thrower trapflower, a floating trapflower or a roller trap flower. These are more commonly found in the trapflower field biome. The sky sharks are found swimming through the air in packs hunting floatwhales and resting at clouds, they are agressive mobs that drop their respective cloud type when slain. Floatwhales are neutral mobs that can be found alone or in groups of 4, there is a special type of floatwhale that lets players ride it, it can also consume mobs, giving the drops to the player if they are riding it. Eclipse birds can be found spawning commonly here, in both their lunar and solar forms surronding their respective tree. Skiparrots also are foubd in the inland, this giant breed of parrots can be tamed and riden, they are extremelly fast, being able to jump high distances and dash. Butterspan are giant butterflies found throughout all the dimension, they have an eternal polynating effect and pacify mobs under it's wings. Pufflings and salcred are two species of fish found in pounds and the dark lake, pufflings apply regenarion to neaby players who are low on heatlh and when eaten gives the player resistence too. Other biomes include: -Quicksoil desert(presence of giant hollow trees that leaves give golden apples 100% of the time and rarely enchanted ones too) -Ore florest(florest where ores are found everywhere, they appear more frequently underground, flowers and plants made of said ores will give you said ore when broken, wood of ore trees can be crafted into 4 of said ore but no sapplings) -Dark lake( a big lake with trees surrounding it, hostile mobs can spawn there too because the trees block the sun, you can travel though the lake via jumping in living pads or swimming, it is the only place where you find rainbow skyoral wich can be turned into nine of other coraal if combined with it and skylake grass and holy algae. Turtles that hatch there willaway hatch ruby, axolotls will aways be blue, pandas will aways be brown and etc. -Trapflower field(place with an aboundance of all types of trapflowers and butterspans) Types of trees in the mod Blessedoak Goldaoba Silvech Ore trees Sunwood Moonwood
Valkyrie dungeon now consists of a temple made from white blocks and blocks of ores connected to land by a bridge made of rainbow blocks, once you enter the temple you will be able to choose two options: -trade with the valkyries using saphires making you unable to harm the valkyries that spawn in that temple and making them passive to you. -Attack the valkyries making you unable to trade with them starting the challenge to get to the boss fight. the challenge consists of entering the throne room via killing valkyries present in the first floor to obtain key fragments, to make key pieces and them the key to the throne room. There the valkyrie queen will do a little animation(vs monika mod fnf) and then leap into the air to quickly go down at the location of the player, attack her and the battle will start. The boss fight consists of the valkyrie queen flying around and teleporting when attacked, she will also do a series of attacks as such: -invocking the spirits of the valkyrie you killed to attack you -slashes that launches you in the air applying slow falling to you -teleporting you to high places -throwing her sworld at you wich ignores enchantements and armor, if the sworld does not hit you, it will become stuck on the ground wich will force the queen pick her up making she vulnerable. Once the queens gets on low health she will be enveloped in a strong light, she will grow two extra pairs of wings and her attacks will be stronger and faster, she will also teleport more often and increase her own speed. She will also gain new attacks like: - Making a barrier of light that you cannot break or go through -making arrows appear around her and then fly at you making the arrows hit you decidueye style. -Firing a continuous beam of light at you who follows your movement. -thowing spears of light at you that ricochet in walls and multiplicate up to 3 time if you are not hit by them. -making clones of herself When the queen is killed she will drop the valkyrie sworld, wich grants the player creative flight when holding it, since the queen is the only valkyrie who can truly fly, the others just fall down with style. Killing the queen also grants the player access to the treasure room where you can find rare loot and a aetherite block. Once you defeat the queen the valkyries that spawn in that temple will obey will and will work the same as tamed dogs, you still won't be able to trade with them. If you choose not to attack the valkyries and trade with them instead, they will be passive and will offer the best trades in the game, you will never be able to acces the throne room through. Additionally, the range of where the valkyries of that temple will spawn will be increased by 528 by 528 blocks from the temple.
8:01 That is not a mere music disk, it's one of the greatest banger of that time! (I am writing this comment on my phone so I cant link it but just "look up "Aether Tune)
this is awesome! shame that only just now are they starting work on the new Aether though. Means it could take a long time before non-legacy Aether becomes playable

Naturally its a perfect mod as always. It is basically a natural content extension of the vanilla game.

-Crystal woodland:Forest where ores are found everywhere, from copper to diamond, ores can be spotted even on the surface, blessed debris can also be found in here more frequently. Flowers and trees of some ores can be found ocasionally here, the trees gemstone leaves have a rare chance of dropping a sappling of any ore tree. Rarest island.
wood of ore trees can be crafted into 4 of said ore but no sapplings)
-Wonder lake: A big and mystical lake with trees surrounding it, hostile mobs can spawn there even when it's daytime because the trees block the sun, you can travel though the lake via jumping in giant lily pads or swimming, it is the only place where you find rainbow skycoral wich can be turned into any coral block by combining it with the dye of the coral you wish, you can also found cloud sea grass and holy algae. The biome makes any animal born through breeding spawn as their rarest version(Turtles that hatch there will aways hatch ruby, axolotls will aways be blue, pandas will aways be brown and etc).
-Trapflower field: A place with an aboundance of all types of trapflowers and butterspans. Nothing really useful here.
Gravitite works the same as sand or gravel but will instead go upwards instead of falling. Can be chiseled, turned into gravitone, brick and etc.
Holystone and its variant mossy holystone works just like normal stone and can be fond on the base of any island.
Blessedoak trees are found in all islands except for crystal florests, they have a grey woodset an their leaves are white.
Goldaoba are giant and hollow trees found only in quicksoil deserts, theey have a golden woodset and leaves, those who can drop golden apples when broken and rarely enchanted ones.
Ore trees are found exclusivilly in crystal forests and their wood is made of ore blocks, wich when mined gives the player brute ores. Their leaves have a chance of dropping the refined ores or sapplings for the ore tree.
Sunwood trees can be found on any island except for crystal woodlands, their woodset is degra d from red to yellow that glows. Solar twilight birds can be found near these trees.
Moonwood trees can be found on any island except for crystal woodlands, their woodsef is a degra d from green to purple that glows. Lunar Twilight birds can be found near these trees.
Berry bushes can be found in all islands and will give, sweet berries, glow berries or dark berries.
Flowers of all colors can grow in any block on any side of them. Can be crafted into dyes and emmit particles around them of the respective color.
Cloud grass is a variation of the grass found on the overworld.
Rainbow blocks generate when clouds come in contact with water turning them into rainbow blocks depending on the flower present on top of them.
Freezer are powered by ambrosyus and is used to freeze blocks and turn others in special frost variats(water in ice, stone in holystone, lava in obsidian, quicksoil in quicksoil glass and etc).
The altar is powered by ambrosyus and with it you can restore equipment to a perfect state.
Enchanted aether grass is obtained through freezers and buff crop growth when they are planted in it.
Enchanted berries are obtained when any berry is put in a freezer and when consumed gives saturation and speed.
Aetherite is obtained by combining aetherite scraps(obtained via blessed debris being put in a freezer) with silver ingots, it is the same as netherite but instead of fire resistence it gives fall damage resistence.
Ambrosyus is find in any island in their holystone bottom layers and serve as the "coal" for freezers.
There are two dungeons in the Aether:
-The Rune Labirinth: Made of sentry stone and carved stone can be accesed through holes in the islands that looks like caves, there you can fight the Slider.
-The Valkyrie Temple: Can be accesed through rainbow bridge made of rainbow blocks that connect the temple to an island.
The mod that broke so many kids hearts has returned
It's a force of nature. Everytime a new generation starts, the mod comes back to break their hearts too
thank you, i installed the mod and didn't know what all these things were and was frustrated with the lackluster wiki
I've waited so long to play the Aether. I can finally play it on modern Minecraft
I like how you're playing as Claptrap, he would totally attempt to open a portal to the Aether and somehow succeed.
I love that funny robot
Good old days 0:34
Richtig nice Arbeit. :) Vor allem das Video an sich. Abo und Like hast du. :)
the developer basically created a new game.
as someone whos loved the aether mod since day 1, im so glad I can finally play this in modern versions
sorry to reply without having anything relevant to say, but i've never seen anyone else with my pfp. for a second, i thought i somehow left this comment
@@bonesrat BRO I SAW THIS AND THOUGHT THE SAME THING 😭
@@bonesrat i thought he repilied tho himself lmao
@@lesiuiuur123 fr
It's as beautiful as the day I left it.
I remember AntVenom playing the Aether a whiiiiile ago, cool to see it now
Does anyone know if this will be ported to Fabric? That would be really neat!
Edit: A Fabric version will be available after the full release of the Forge version! :)
AETHER IS BACK
I remember the good days, watching minecraft videos, and when this mod came out I loved it so much. It just hit so differently and was so aesthetically pleasing to me
Its crazy how a mod feels like it should be in the actual game than most of the crap already in the game
A bit sad that those huge dungeons are no longer available...😢
It’s on the aether 2. Aether 1 never have big dungeons.
Those are from Aether 2
I'm crying, that's perfect
Ohhh i remember this. Glad to see it Back
when we needed him most he returned
At a loss of words for how crazy this is
While I'm of the opinion the Aether hasn't been relevant for years, I will say it's impressive how loyal each update has been, and what an impact it had giving us other dimensional mods like the Twilight Forest, Erebus and The Betweenlands. Glad to see it still kicking around :)
There is no "strongest" thing in this dimension makes it more confusing, but u can do armor and tools combos
Mimic chests? You had me, then you lost me.
Nah i beat the valks dungeon w full enchanted iron set n diamond sword n axes, shield, gapples, totems n that white thingy that gives u regen when u eat it, its ez all u need is a damn skill
I love that the broken aether portal has become a meme past the minecraft community
one of the mods I genuinely believe belongs in the official game
The Deep Aether mod adds Stratus ingots (aether netherite) and can be made by mixing all aether ores with sterling cloud found at the highest layer of the clouds. Very cool!
Time to convince my friend to add this to our modded server.
*dramatically takes of glasses as I’m sitting in my rocking chair* well I’ll be damned…
LOL they changed "Hammer of Notch" to "Hammer of KingBdogz''
For damn good reason lol, one of my favorite changes in the modern Aether
@@BruhMeister993doesn't work for Minecraft anymore
Man last time i saw the aether was tobuscus playing iy
damn do i wish this was for 1.19.2 as well (the version i use for my modded minecraft)
They are working on the 19.2 backport rn
Isn't 1.19.2 almost the same as 1.19.4? Why can't there be mod loaders that don't break with every small update and force you to update the mod every time but instead work on most updates unless they're a big change?
@Gamer Mapper 1.19.4 is more different than 1.19.3 is from 1.19.2 and they alter certain things like libraries and methods of getting stuff to function which mods depend on, breaking certain mods with updates
@@gamermapper thats on mojang, they introduced breaking changes with 1.19.3 and 1.19.4 - which you normally shouldnt do but now we're here
@@shrektheogrelord6435 There are also a couple of forge changes made post 1.19.2 that the mod relies on, but they're still going to port it to 1.19.2 despite that.
Great review. I would also encourage a video on Aether addon mods, such as Aether Lost Content and Deep Aether.
They should make it so that netherite armor/tools have the same stats as diamond in this dimension and vice versa for the special aether armor in the nether
my only gripe with the original aether is honestly just that some of the features from the scrapped aether ii genesis of the void arent in it
genesis of the void was the version of the mod i really fell in love with hard so its super weird not having green && purple aerclouds or other various things from it like the different altar
There will be an official addon for the original aether called ”genesis”, which will add (almost) all the content that was in genesis of the void, including green, purple clouds, ect.
@@lovique yknow after finding out from this comments section about the lost content addon and the deep aether addon; the idea of those plus genesis of the void content in modern day post 1.18 minecraft is so unbelievably hype; at least assuming they dont conflict with eachother
this is great news though
@@ViIvaNunner They said they are working on it to try to make sure there is no addon conflict :)
Bro your review never miss
The tears of the kingdom update looks great
Would've been cool if the wings let you fly endlessly. To take flight, tap the spacebar, just like a bird. Then it's like regular elytra flying. But to gain more height, you have to tap the spacebar to the wished height. That would be cool, and that the wings actually flapped like a bird.
Let the tears of joy flow my brothers.
You can now only tame the skypigs, and you will need a saddle and a golden carrot on a stick to ride them, they are able to fly up for 7 seconds before going back down slowy.
Cloud sheep are a horned varied of long sheep that can be seen leaping into the air and falling back down slowy, they also will launch the player off the island if provoked.
The Moofly are found in groups and when one is attacked the others will fly away.
The trapflowers will multiplicate once the spore they throw at the player hit skygrass, it can become a chomper trapflower, a thrower trapflower, a floating trapflower or a roller trap flower. These are more commonly found in the trapflower field biome.
The sky sharks are found swimming through the air in packs hunting floatwhales and resting at clouds, they are agressive mobs that drop their respective cloud type when slain.
Floatwhales are neutral mobs that can be found alone or in groups of 4, there is a special type of floatwhale that lets players ride it, it can also consume mobs, giving the drops to the player if they are riding it.
Eclipse birds can be found spawning commonly here, in both their lunar and solar forms surronding their respective tree.
Skiparrots also are foubd in the inland, this giant breed of parrots can be tamed and riden, they are extremelly fast, being able to jump high distances and dash.
Butterspan are giant butterflies found throughout all the dimension, they have an eternal polynating effect and pacify mobs under it's wings.
Pufflings and salcred are two species of fish found in pounds and the dark lake, pufflings apply regenarion to neaby players who are low on heatlh and when eaten gives the player resistence too.
Other biomes include:
-Quicksoil desert(presence of giant hollow trees that leaves give golden apples 100% of the time and rarely enchanted ones too)
-Ore florest(florest where ores are found everywhere, they appear more frequently underground, flowers and plants made of said ores will give you said ore when broken, wood of ore trees can be crafted into 4 of said ore but no sapplings)
-Dark lake( a big lake with trees surrounding it, hostile mobs can spawn there too because the trees block the sun, you can travel though the lake via jumping in living pads or swimming, it is the only place where you find rainbow skyoral wich can be turned into nine of other coraal if combined with it and skylake grass and holy algae. Turtles that hatch there willaway hatch ruby, axolotls will aways be blue, pandas will aways be brown and etc.
-Trapflower field(place with an aboundance of all types of trapflowers and butterspans)
Types of trees in the mod
Blessedoak
Goldaoba
Silvech
Ore trees
Sunwood
Moonwood
Imagine this but as a Minecraft Civ event, using the invisibility cloak will be hilarious to use.
Valkyrie dungeon now consists of a temple made from white blocks and blocks of ores connected to land by a bridge made of rainbow blocks, once you enter the temple you will be able to choose two options:
-trade with the valkyries using saphires making you unable to harm the valkyries that spawn in that temple and making them passive to you.
-Attack the valkyries making you unable to trade with them starting the challenge to get to the boss fight.
the challenge consists of entering the throne room via killing valkyries present in the first floor to obtain key fragments, to make key pieces and them the key to the throne room.
There the valkyrie queen will do a little animation(vs monika mod fnf) and then leap into the air to quickly go down at the location of the player, attack her and the battle will start.
The boss fight consists of the valkyrie queen flying around and teleporting when attacked, she will also do a series of attacks as such:
-invocking the spirits of the valkyrie you killed to attack you
-slashes that launches you in the air applying slow falling to you
-teleporting you to high places
-throwing her sworld at you wich ignores enchantements and armor, if the sworld does not hit you, it will become stuck on the ground wich will force the queen pick her up making she vulnerable.
Once the queens gets on low health she will be enveloped in a strong light, she will grow two extra pairs of wings and her attacks will be stronger and faster, she will also teleport more often and increase her own speed.
She will also gain new attacks like:
- Making a barrier of light that you cannot break or go through
-making arrows appear around her and then fly at you making the arrows hit you decidueye style.
-Firing a continuous beam of light at you who follows your movement.
-thowing spears of light at you that ricochet in walls and multiplicate up to 3 time if you are not hit by them.
-making clones of herself
When the queen is killed she will drop the valkyrie sworld, wich grants the player creative flight when holding it, since the queen is the only valkyrie who can truly fly, the others just fall down with style.
Killing the queen also grants the player access to the treasure room where you can find rare loot and a aetherite block.
Once you defeat the queen the valkyries that spawn in that temple will obey will and will work the same as tamed dogs, you still won't be able to trade with them.
If you choose not to attack the valkyries and trade with them instead, they will be passive and will offer the best trades in the game, you will never be able to acces the throne room through.
Additionally, the range of where the valkyries of that temple will spawn will be increased by 528 by 528 blocks from the temple.
If they didn't change anything,you can ride the blu swet. Rmb it and press wasd
8:40 - she is actually very easy. You can beat her in iron armor if you just circle around her
what shader were you using in this video? its very hard to find any that is compatible with the aether
Will the ore that floats upward crush you or will you stop it, or will it take you with it
The return of the king!!!!!
(Both of you)
Always nice to see a classic mod come back, here's hoping thaumcraft is next.
Cannot wait to play with this in VR
8:01 That is not a mere music disk, it's one of the greatest banger of that time! (I am writing this comment on my phone so I cant link it but just "look up "Aether Tune)
this is awesome! shame that only just now are they starting work on the new Aether though. Means it could take a long time before non-legacy Aether becomes playable
What shaderpack are you using? The Aether looks stunning with those on
I still don't know how the aether isn't just a normal dimension built into the game
mojang should hired all of the aether dev mod since we dont get any new portal since decade.
Aether is just certified hood classic.
finally after 5 years its back
