☁️ About the Aether ☁️

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**. image0.png?raw=true

☁️ What's in the Mod ☁️

The Aether consists of many new accessible features, most of which are explained in the original forum post for the [Aether Collaboration Mod](https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding-java-edition/minecraft-mods/1275355-1-7-3-aether-collaboration-mod-v1-02-new-mobs). 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.

☁️ Getting Started ☁️

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! image1.png?raw=true

☁️ Conquering Dungeons ☁️

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. image2.png?raw=true
