It adds the Aether dimension to the game which is supposed to be a bit of the opposite of the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/en\/blog\/the-minecraft-nether\"> Nether<\/a> with some similarities to the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/en\/blog\/the-end-in-minecraft\"> End<\/a> dimension. The dimension, which you could also call the Aether<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-biomes\/\"> biome<\/a>, consists of floating islands similar to the End. Still, it is more colorful and offers many more visual similarities to the overworld. The basic gameplay is also more like in the vanilla Minecraft overworld. You start<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-crafting\/\"> crafting<\/a> your first<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-tools\/\"> tools<\/a> and progress by crafting more and more items, finding new resources and defeating<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-mobs\/\"> mobs<\/a>. While the Minecraft Aether stays true to Minecraft\u2019s<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-game-modes\/\"> survival<\/a> gameplay, you have to be careful not to fall off the islands. This might cause you to die from fall damage &#8211; unless you use the Minecraft <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/en\/blog\/buckets-in-minecraft\">bucket<\/a> trick to avoid it. If you\u2019re lucky, you will just fall back to the Aether portal. Minecraft, as you see, can be extended in many curious ways. The Minecraft Aether, however, offers more than just the basic idea of a new dimension. With it come many new blocks, items, plants, mobs and dangers to test you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Aether Portal: Minecraft\u2019s Interdimensional Travelling<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, the developers kept it quite simple to enter the Minecraft Aether once the mod is installed. All you need is a portal to go through. This is similar to the portals you need to enter the Nether or the End, except that this one is easier to build. All you need is glowstone and water. You build a square with glowstone and then fill it with water from a water bucket via right clicking. There is your Minecraft Aether portal:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class='hint hint--brand'><p>glowstone square + water = Aether portal<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It is entirely up to you how big you want to make the portal. We recommend a 4&#215;5 square since you won\u2019t need a lot of glowstone to build it and it is done faster. In the end, all you want to do is walk into it to enter the Minecraft Aether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Basic Aether Mod Resources<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The immense creativity of this mod can be seen the moment you enter it: while on the surface it looks similar to the overworld you just left, with grass, dirt, trees and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/en\/blog\/minecraft-animal-world\"> animals<\/a> it is somehow all different. In the Aether mod, you will find new building material. Just like usual, it is also a kind of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-log-wood\/\"> wood<\/a> and stone, but not the usual types. Instead you will soon craft amazing things with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>skyroot&nbsp;<\/li><li>golden oak&nbsp;<\/li><li>holystone<\/li><li>icestone<\/li><li>aerogel<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking a closer look at these names, it is clear that they all hint to the Minecraft Aether dimension to be a sky realm. You reside above the clouds, as some gods in mythology and everywhere around you is air. Perhaps this is a way to restore <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/en\/blog\/steve-alex-different-skins\">Steve\u2019s and Alex\u2019<\/a> power, as hinted at in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/en\/blog\/lore-and-myths-in-minecraft\">lore<\/a>? However it is meant, it truly adds a fantastic element to the ambience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Further Minecraft Aether Items &amp; Food<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course there are also \u2018normal\u2019 blocks in the Aether<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/how-do-mods-work-in-minecraft\/\"> mod<\/a>, like dirt, grass and leaf blocks. Still, they all look a bit different. In general, you can craft many well known items and structures, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>slabs<\/li><li>stairs<\/li><li>doors<\/li><li>fences<\/li><li>planks<\/li><li>pressure plates<\/li><li>trapdoors<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Funnily, you can even mine aerclouds in three different versions. Additionally there are two types of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-flowers\/\"> flowers<\/a>, certain materials you find in dungeons, blocks you can combine with<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-redstone\/\"> redstone<\/a> and three new<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-ore-distribution\/\"> ores<\/a> unique for the Minecraft Aether dimension:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>ambrosium<\/li><li>gravitite<\/li><li>zanite<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Those are pretty useful for further usage that will be explained later in this article. Lastly, there are also new<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-food-and-hunger\/\"> food<\/a> items in the Aether mod. They may either restore hunger points, cause certain status effects or clear them. Not all of them sound like food, but they are all consumable:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>ambrosium shard<\/li><li>blue berry<\/li><li>candy cane<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-enchantments\/\">enchanted<\/a> berry<\/li><li>healing stone<\/li><li>blue gummy swet<\/li><li>white apple<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This, of course, isn&#8217;t a complete list of all the new items, blocks and materials. In fact, it is pretty difficult to list every single item. There is a huge variety that makes the Minecraft Aether unique and amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Awesome Minecraft Aether Mobs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-mobs\/\"> mobs<\/a> are there to expect in the skylands of the Minecraft Aether? Well, probably flying ones considering floating islands. In fact, there are both certain mobs from<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/vanilla-minecraft\/\"> vanilla<\/a> Minecraft that got modified and some that are new and unique to the Aether mod. You will also encounter every kind of mentality among these mobs, from allied to hostile. And of course there are bosses, just as it should be if you encounter a new dimension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table class=\"\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Allied<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Passive<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Neutral<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Hostile<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Bosses<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>cloud sentry<\/td><td>aerbunny<\/td><td>chest mimic<\/td><td>aechor plant<\/td><td>slider<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>aerwhale<\/td><td>valkyrie<\/td><td>cockatrice<\/td><td>sun spirit<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>flying cow<\/td><td><\/td><td>sentry<\/td><td>valkyrie queen<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>moa<\/td><td><\/td><td>swet<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>phyg<\/td><td><\/td><td>whirlwind<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>sheepuff<\/td><td><\/td><td>zephyr<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While it sounds strange that there are supposedly flying whales, it also adds to the mythical and fantastic atmosphere of the Minecraft Aether mod. Also, the list shows that there are indeed some flying<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/en\/blog\/minecraft-animal-world\"> animals<\/a> and some of them are rideable, like the flying cow or the phyg which is effectively a flying pig. Some Minecraft Aether mobs will shoot snowballs or poisonous<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-bows-and-arrows\/\"> arrows<\/a>. That is why you should always make sure whether what you\u2019re about to encounter is a moa or a cockatrice. The latter is the more colorful version of the moa but it will attack you. If you last long enough in the Minecraft Aether realm, you might get a chance to meet a cloud sentry. You can only meet them after surviving in the Aether mod dimension f\u00fcr at least 5 Minecraft days. They are rare because they are pretty useful and give you some precious items. So it is worth the wait!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Minecraft Aether Dungeons<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The dangers mentioned above refer to the dungeons. Although some mobs are also dangerously hostile, the places you should be most careful around are dungeons. The Minecraft Aether has a total of three different types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>the bronze dungeon (boss: slider)<\/li><li>the silver dungeon (boss: valkyrie queen)<\/li><li>the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/en\/blog\/mc-gold-ressources\"> gold<\/a> dungeon (boss: sun spirit)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In every Minecraft Aether dungeon you have the chance to find precious loot, fight off mean mobs or even challenge mob bosses. Here are the most important things to know. You have to wake up the slider by hitting it with a pickaxe. It won\u2019t take damage from<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-sword\/\"> swords<\/a>, so you have to use other<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-tools\/\"> tools<\/a> that can deal damage, like a pickaxe or shovel. In the Minecraft Aether silver dungeon, you will meet valkyries. If you attack them, they attack you. They are strong, so be prepared! Once you kill one, you will get a victory medal. You need ten of those to challenge the valkyrie queen. As for the last one: the Minecraft Aether gold dungeon is the hardest one. As soon as you enter it, you will go into battle. There is no roaming around and pillaging first. At least the loot is great and there is even new building material to be found, which again adds to the whole mystical skylands theme:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>carved stone<\/li><li>angelic stone<\/li><li>hellfire stone<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Just hearing these names makes it more exciting to venture from normal to angelic and finally hellish Minecraft Aether encounters. Those materials can also be found in different forms like slabs, stairs and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Armor in the Minecraft Aether<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to new<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-ore-distribution\/\"> ores<\/a>, there are also new possibilities to protect yourself using<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-armor\/\"> armor<\/a>. In the Minecraft Aether, you can craft the usual pieces of armor and gloves. You can craft them with two of the new ores:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>gravitite armor: you can jump higher and take no fall damage with a complete set of armor<\/li><li>zanite armor: gets stronger when it is hit<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, there are some types of armor you can only find, not<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-crafting\/\"> craft<\/a>. So, looting after a fight in a dungeon is important if you want some of these pieces:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>neptune armor: found in silver dungeons; swim faster on the surface and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-respiration-and-breathe-underwater\/\">underwater<\/a><\/li><li>obsidian armor: found in dungeons or when phoenix armor meets water; less damage when hit<\/li><li>phoenix armor: found in gold dungeons; no<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-fire-a-dicey-thing\/\"> fire<\/a> or<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/en\/blog\/lava-in-minecraft-en\"> lava<\/a> damage<\/li><li>valkyrie armor: drops (valkyrie bosses);<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-flying\/\"> flying<\/a>, slow fall, fall damage immunity, protects you against valkyries<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have these amazing Minecraft Aether armor sets, you will be unstoppable. And it will most definitely make surviving in this high above-the-ground realm, the Minecraft Aether, easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Minecraft Aether Tools<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to armor, there are new possibilities for tools and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-weapons\/\"> weapons<\/a> as well. It is pretty simple: there are tools, \u2018weapons\u2019 (like axes) and accessories (chains and rings). Here is what they do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table class=\"\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Tools\/Weapons<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Effect<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>skyroot<\/strong><\/td><td>get twice the amount of drops when mining<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>holystone<\/strong><\/td><td>higher chance of ambrosium shards being dropped<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>gravitite<\/strong><\/td><td>right clicking: lets blocks hover in the air<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>zanite<\/strong><\/td><td>get stronger when hit<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As to Minecraft Aether chains: made of zanite, they improve your mining speed for a limited time frame. Ice chains may even let you freeze water. However, this only works if you wear all ice rings. That is where Minecraft Aether rings become important. Zanite rings work just like zanite chains. By freezing rings, they become ice rings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Minecraft Aether II: Genesis of the Void<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In June 2013, about three years after the Minecraft Aether mod was released it got a \u2018sequel\u2019. This led to the Aether mod often being called Minecraft Aether I to indicate that there is a successor. In this mod, many things are similar to the original mod. However, some items or features didn\u2019t make the mod. Some of them are for example the silver and gold dungeons and their respective mobs. At the same time, many blocks, items and mobs got changed in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-resource-pack\/\"> texture<\/a> or abilities. There were also new items and blocks introduced. When the original Minecraft Aether mod got an<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/en\/blog\/minecraft-update-overview\"> update<\/a> for some newer game versions in 2020, the Minecraft Aether II mod didn\u2019t and is therefore only available for game version 1.12.2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Minecraft Aether Mod Download<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When downloading and installing the Minecraft Aether<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/how-do-mods-work-in-minecraft\/\"> mod<\/a>, you need a modloader like<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-forge\/\"> Forge<\/a>.

The Minecraft Aether mod is a game modification created by a group of developers.

The dimension, which you could also call the Aether biome, consists of floating islands similar to the End. Still, it is more colorful and offers many more visual similarities to the overworld. The basic gameplay is also more like in the vanilla Minecraft overworld. You start crafting your first tools and progress by crafting more and more items, finding new resources and defeating mobs. While the Minecraft Aether stays true to Minecraft\u2019s survival gameplay, you have to be careful not to fall off the islands. This might cause you to die from fall damage &#8211; unless you use the Minecraft bucket trick to avoid it. If you\u2019re lucky, you will just fall back to the Aether portal. Minecraft, as you see, can be extended in many curious ways. The Minecraft Aether, however, offers more than just the basic idea of a new dimension. With it come many new blocks, items, plants, mobs and dangers to test you. The Aether Portal: Minecraft\u2019s Interdimensional Travelling Luckily, the developers kept it quite simple to enter the Minecraft Aether once the mod is installed. All you need is a portal to go through. This is similar to the portals you need to enter the Nether or the End, except that this one is easier to build. All you need is glowstone and water.

Basic Aether Mod Resources The immense creativity of this mod can be seen the moment you enter it: while on the surface it looks similar to the overworld you just left, with grass, dirt, trees and animals it is somehow all different. In the Aether mod, you will find new building material. Just like usual, it is also a kind of wood and stone, but not the usual types. Instead you will soon craft amazing things with: skyroot&nbsp; golden oak&nbsp; holystone icestone aerogel Taking a closer look at these names, it is clear that they all hint to the Minecraft Aether dimension to be a sky realm. You reside above the clouds, as some gods in mythology and everywhere around you is air. Perhaps this is a way to restore Steve\u2019s and Alex\u2019 power, as hinted at in the lore? However it is meant, it truly adds a fantastic element to the ambience. Further Minecraft Aether Items &amp; Food Of course there are also \u2018normal\u2019 blocks in the Aether mod, like dirt, grass and leaf blocks. Still, they all look a bit different. In general, you can craft many well known items and structures, such as: slabs stairs doors fences planks pressure plates trapdoors Funnily, you can even mine aerclouds in three different versions. Additionally there are two types of flowers, certain materials you find in dungeons, blocks you can combine with redstone and three new ores unique for the Minecraft Aether dimension: ambrosium gravitite zanite Those are pretty useful for further usage that will be explained later in this article. Lastly, there are also new food items in the Aether mod. They may either restore hunger points, cause certain status effects or clear them. Not all of them sound like food, but they are all consumable: ambrosium shard blue berry candy cane enchanted berry healing stone blue gummy swet white apple This, of course, isn&#8217;t a complete list of all the new items, blocks and materials. In fact, it is pretty difficult to list every single item. There is a huge variety that makes the Minecraft Aether unique and amazing. Awesome Minecraft Aether Mobs What mobs are there to expect in the skylands of the Minecraft Aether? Well, probably flying ones considering floating islands. In fact, there are both certain mobs from vanilla Minecraft that got modified and some that are new and unique to the Aether mod. You will also encounter every kind of mentality among these mobs, from allied to hostile. And of course there are bosses, just as it should be if you encounter a new dimension.

Those materials can also be found in different forms like slabs, stairs and many more. Armor in the Minecraft Aether Thanks to new ores, there are also new possibilities to protect yourself using armor. In the Minecraft Aether, you can craft the usual pieces of armor and gloves. You can craft them with two of the new ores: gravitite armor: you can jump higher and take no fall damage with a complete set of armor zanite armor: gets stronger when it is hit Additionally, there are some types of armor you can only find, not craft. So, looting after a fight in a dungeon is important if you want some of these pieces: neptune armor: found in silver dungeons; swim faster on the surface and underwater obsidian armor: found in dungeons or when phoenix armor meets water; less damage when hit phoenix armor: found in gold dungeons; no fire or lava damage valkyrie armor: drops (valkyrie bosses); flying, slow fall, fall damage immunity, protects you against valkyries Once you have these amazing Minecraft Aether armor sets, you will be unstoppable. And it will most definitely make surviving in this high above-the-ground realm, the Minecraft Aether, easier. Minecraft Aether Tools Similar to armor, there are new possibilities for tools and weapons as well. It is pretty simple: there are tools, \u2018weapons\u2019 (like axes) and accessories (chains and rings). Here is what they do: Tools\/Weapons Effect skyroot get twice the amount of drops when mining holystone higher chance of ambrosium shards being dropped gravitite right clicking: lets blocks hover in the air zanite get stronger when hit As to Minecraft Aether chains: made of zanite, they improve your mining speed for a limited time frame. Ice chains may even let you freeze water. However, this only works if you wear all ice rings. That is where Minecraft Aether rings become important. Zanite rings work just like zanite chains. By freezing rings, they become ice rings. Minecraft Aether II: Genesis of the Void In June 2013, about three years after the Minecraft Aether mod was released it got a \u2018sequel\u2019.

However, some items or features didn\u2019t make the mod. Some of them are for example the silver and gold dungeons and their respective mobs.

When the original Minecraft Aether mod got an update for some newer game versions in 2020, the Minecraft Aether II mod didn\u2019t and is therefore only available for game version 1.12.2.
