One of the programmers here, this was a very fun playthrough of the mod to watch! It's really nice seeing people enjoy the mod so much, especially people who are returning to it after so long now that it's out on modern Minecraft. Also honestly I was a bit devastated seeing your items get destroyed by lightning too, that's a bug I've had to fix a couple times in beta and I'm surprised to see it come back. Also RIP Jerald, I might have to see if I can prevent tragedies like that from happening again as well.
The main reason as to why this mod is STILL impressive despite its age, has to do with just how damn well it blends with the vanilla minecraft. If anything, it feels like minecraft aether update, something that minecraft SHOULD have
@kaejuka6249 Kingbdogz made a tweet about it explaining why the aether won't be added. His exact words are : "The simple answer is it's a mod (even if I'm the one who lead development on it). The longer answer is that Minecraft always strives to do something different, something people don't expect. Adding the Aether to the game would feel like adding something that is out there already."

I love how going to The Aether isn’t “harder” than going to The Nether. This isn’t like some Advent of Ascension type stuff, it’s always just been go to The Nether, grab 10-14 glowstone, and then leave. Because The Aether is neither a replacement nor an upgrade to The Nether. It’s a place up in the sky where you can live peacefully so long as you can brave the elements first, where as The Nether was literally Hell and was literally called Hell until The Nether Update made it slightly habitable whilst also adding in tons of new ways to die horrifically. And again, with the tools, weapons and armour from The Aether, yes they’re “stronger” and “faster” than Overworld equiptment, but Aether equiptment only works in The Aether and vice versa. Yes, you _can_ use Aether weapons to tear through Aether enemies faster, but that *only* works for Aether enemies.
...The Nether was 100% a place you could live peacefully pre-Nether Update. Given how few hostile mob spawns there were, it was arguably _safer_ than the Overworld.
@@Lu_ciernaga Yes, but they also swarm and kill you if you ever punch one of them and the only way to get them to stop is to kill all of them without leaving even one survivor

As a tip rekrap: You can rebind the gravitite jump to a combo of keys so that every jump isn't super high! I personally bind mine to shift + space but you can bind it to whatever you want I've been loving the resurgence in Aether content that's been happening since the remaster has been released! I've been donating to their patreon since before that and saw the huge progress being made on it, and it's super awesome to finally see everybody else enjoying it! Loved this video!
I've lost interest in Minecraft 2/3 years ago and this video randomly appeared on my homepage, so I decided to watch it. Not only did I enjoy the video, but I was hooked from start to finish. Kudos to your narration, editing and story telling! You are amazing!
Rekrap, I just want to thank you for everything you’re doing on youtube. Your channel is so entertaining and I could watch it for hours. You’re probably not gonna see this, but if you do, I just want you to keep doing what you’re doing! ❤
I remember watching people play this mod when I was a kid. And not knowing what mods were, I thought it was part of the actual game. So when I finally got the game on Xbox 360 for my birthday in 2012, I tried building the portal and was so confused as to why it didn’t work.
Same, I used to watch videos with mods and think it was all on the game. It was hard later on to find the distinction from what was and wasn’t on vanilla.
I’m so glad rek uploaded this video, I wanted to play the aether mod, but I’m not experienced with mods, and didn’t know how to approach it. This video shows all I need to know, thanks!
I was JUST thinking of this mod! I wanted to watch a letsplay of it, but everyone else was kinda boring. But THIS is peak Minecraft content! The Aether was and still is one of the greatest mods (especially for its time) and the chaotic vibe of your channel fits a vid like this PERFECTLY!
I adore this mod, though I've only played the 1.12 version, my only complaint is the gold boss is underwhelming and annoying. You should do a video on the twilight forest :3
The Aether is an awesome mod! There is also a Platinum Dungeon on the Lost Content mod with the King Aerwhale boss. Its on a floating island with a big tower. I think its the hardest one
Aether mod is genuinely a great form of progression, and i like how they really make u feel like the area is ez with bronze one only to beatu bakc down on the silver boss and make h krep exploring
I remember watching Antvenom play this mod around 10 years ago(maybe longer) and that was my first introduction to minecraft modding. I've been wanting this mod fully released for the newer versions of minecraft for a while, happy to see that it's been updated for the newer versions.
Whoah, had no idea the bunny could do that. Need to get one ASAP in my modded world, would also be useful for exploring the Nether since I’m far from having an elytra right now. Tbh the Aether adds a lot of OP weapons and items. I think the Twilight Forest does Vanilla+ a bit better because the weapons and items you get are way more balanced.
I'd like to see you play The Aether with extra mods for it: Deep Aether, Aether Redux, Aether Lost Content, etc. Imagine how awesome it would be if simple Aether is great already!
OH my gosh, I thought I was the ONLY ONE that said: " Holy Guacamole!" LOL!! ALSO, thank you SO MUCH for this video. You answered a lot of questions I had!!
