Aether 2 Mod for Minecraft 1.7/1.6

The Aether 2 Mod is a mod for Minecraft that follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, Aether 1.

This mod is focused on creating a whole new dimension within Minecraft, like the Nether, only brighter and above the ground, instead of below it, it is kinda like an opposite dimension to the Nether.

To get there, you will also have to create a “opposite portal”, as instead of being made with obsidian and fire, you have to use glowstone and water, the “opposite” materials.

This new dimension is full of flying islands, clouds with varying effects (jump on some and they will send you flying, some up, some forward), mobs, weapons, items and much more.

The mod adds a new party system to Minecraft, as the mod is intended to be played either with friends or online, but can just as well be played alone.

The party system lets you form parties with other players without the need for mods or plugins other than the Aether 2 mod.

Being in a party enables you to see your party members health, hunger, armor and the amount of coins they have. You can name your own party what you want, and there is a maximum of 10 people per party.

The greatest feature of this mob, other than the new dimension complete with new mobs, biomes, weapons and armors is probably the new dungeons.

Dungeons are isolated from the main world through the use of the party system. They cannot be accessed from other points than the main entrance, as the blocks they are composed of will regenerate instantly if broken, so you can’t even enter them on creative mode.

To get into a dungeon, you must first gather a party, and when you’re ready and have found a dungeon, you right click the dungeon door and wait for everyone in the party to confirm that they are ready.

They are supposedly quite a challenge, and only one party of 10 people are allowed in a dungeon at a time.

The dungeons have three modes, the first being “available” which means any party can join, “occupied” which means that a party is currently in it, fighting whatever it may contain, and so cannot be joined by others, and finally it can be “conquered”, which means that a member of your party has already exhausted this dungeon. Exhaustion occurs when a member of a party either clears the dungeon, or leaves it three times, this is made to prevent people from farming the same dungeon over and over.

After a party has exhausted a dungeon, it’s loot and mobs will regenerate, which means that the dungeon will reset giving another party a chance at the loot and the bosses within it. So it does not matter much if someone else reached it before you, your party will have its shot after they’re done.

The first dungeon in this mod is called Slider’s Labyrinth, and it spans an entire floating island, meaning it’s not a small dungeon. It also contains 3 mini-bosses, leading up to the final fight with an actual boss.

More dungeons and features are planned for this mod in the future, and despite heavy development over the years, the creators still consider this mod to be an alpha version.

The mod also adds everything that the first Aether mod does, while including the new mobs (including flying pigs, cockatrices, Aerwhales and Moas), skyroot variants, blocks, items, loot, reworked models, and skins.

Important! The mod requires Minecraft Forge to work.
