We're happy to announce that we have for the last two weeks been working on developing The Aether II! Using a new refreshed design plan and art style, we hope this project will represent a return to form for The Aether Project's future releases. We'll be sharing more very soon!

A part of the Aether whose terrain is so inhospitable that trees aren't able to take root. Primarily populated with dense mosses, short skyroot bushes, and sweeping fields of arctic flowers. While the ground is hard and often frozen, snow is less common here

The Frozen Lakes are home to the wyvern-like Varanys, they lurk in caves and under ice lakes waiting for prey to stumble into their view. Their horns allow them to burst out of the ice to ambush unsuspecting intruders, but their lack of hind legs make them slow on land

The Enduring Woodland biome is made up of dense skypine forests, which protect the surface from harsh winds and snow. Flowers, grasses, ferns, and mosses flourish here, travelling creatures are able to make their homes outside without the need for caves
2024-02-12 21:10:20 +0000 UTC View Post
The Frigid Sierra features tall islands, snowy mountaintops, and rare greatboa trees. The harsh climate of the Sierra causes animals to nest under trees and inside the mountain caves for warmth
Deep snow, unstable ice, and tall cliffs make traversing the Sierra quite a challenge!

The Violet Highwoods don't have tall metal pillars to protect it from lightning, instead it is populated by fast-growing wisptop trees, when they're struck by lightning they fall and feed the lush undergrowth, leading to a wide range of mosses and plants, as well as fallen logs
Tomorrow we'll take a look at the Aether's arctic biomes! What was your favourite looking feature from the Magnetic theme?

Unlike the Scar, the Turquoise Forest is a relatively safe environment, short skybirch trees grow below tall ferrosite pillars that act as lightning rods, protecting the environment underneath from the power of the magnetic lightning storms
2024-02-10 19:40:41 +0000 UTC View Post
The Magnetic Scar is a land of jagged hills and giant floating cliffs of a unique metal called ferrosite, lightning bolts arc between the cliffs and pillars, kicking up magnetic sand into the environment
This ferrosite sand clings to the landscape, cumulating static electricity!
What uses do you think this new electrically charged, highly magnetic material could have?
Special machinery? Electronics? New modes of transport?

Lakes and ponds pepper the Shimmering Basin biome! Trees grow around the edges and sometimes within the pools, lush flora and aquatic creatures make their home under the water!
The open landscape and plentiful water make it an ideal home for many of the Aether's creatures
What sort of Aether fish would you like to see inhabiting the Basin biome?

The Shrouded Forests stand in stark contrast to the Verdant Woods, the dense Skyplane covers the surface, so many animals and travellers find it safer to traverse the treetops.
Mossy patches on knotted branches up high are home to many plants that support the surrounding wildlife
Structures like Outposts stand high above the island surface in this biome, what tree top structures and features would you like to see?
2024-02-09 12:08:06 +0000 UTC View Post
Our next biome is the Verdant Woods! A dense skyroot forest with an undergrowth of moss and fallen leaves
The trees help protect animals and plantlife from the strong winds of the highfields, leading to a tranquil environment
The woods will help add extra variety to the classic Aether style terrain, would you build a base in these lush forests?
2024-02-08 18:50:52 +0000 UTC View Post
Sparse Skyroot and Wisproot trees, open fields with many flowers, and quicksoil deposits scattered around islands You'll find a wide variety of passive mobs roaming throughout the day, and plentiful fruits and crops scattered around the landscape!
Later today we'll detail the next biome, the Verdant Woods!
Have any questions about our biome plans? Comment down below!
Over the next few days we'll be showcasing new biome concepts for Aether II

They make up the 12 most common Aether biomes that will be featured in Aether II, most of the mod's content can be found in these areas
The Highfields closest resemble the original Aether mod, featuring open skies, green grass, colourful tre...

Hey everyone! Just wanted to post a quick update on the state of the project and the monumental response to the 1.20.1 builds so far!
For the month of November we reached 1.5 million downloads across all our projects on Curseforge, the vast vast majority of which came from The Aether mod, and the vast majority of downloads from the Aether were from 1.20.1! This is a monumental shift in the project's reach and I think safely puts The Aether back among the most popular dimension mods in t...
2023-11-30 12:46:08 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, Oz from the Aether team here, just giving a quick update as we have got a lot of messages from confused patrons, want to make sure we're all on the same page when it comes to functionality right now and steps forward!
So first things first, yes the system for redeeming your Moa skins/linking your Patreon to our system is currently down, you aren't doing anything wrong, it is broken.
The system we had set up had a bunch of proble...
