One of the main programmers of the Aether Team here, thank you for the great showcase! This is a really good overview of the mod's content and does well to go into everything important over a short span of time. It is also nice to see brief mention of minor design details that I don't think most players are aware of, like the Smite buff for the Holy Sword (something I actually had implemented when working on the sword, and fun fact there's actually a similar buff for the fire-inflicting weapons as well, among others). This is a video that looks to have had a lot of attention put into it and is overall quite well made and also very accurate in its explanations and coverage of the content.

brudda can we expect a backport to 1.19.3 anytime soon?

[@cacovonluca]

If you want to, there is the Aether Lost Content. A mod made by the Modding Legacy, it's basically a DLC for the Aether Mod. It adds the content that was removed + some extra content for the Aether Mod. It was also ported to 1.19.4, so if you want to, you could do a follow-up video showcasing it.

[@IcyCaeli]

You also have Deep Aether, which adds biomes to the Aether

[@cacovonluca]

It's wild how ahead of its time this mod was when it was first released. Now we get to watch the features they add to maintain its triple A status :)

[@rmzing]

So cool to see this mod, one of the first ever developed for Minecraft back in the Beta days, back in the latest version. I hope development for Aether II is going well; haven't heard much from that in a long while.

[@NintenSegaPlay]

As someone who was playing a lot during the beta days Aether was FAR from being one of the first mods, it was just one of the most popular with Mo Creatures

[@lovique]

Aether II developement is actually on pause. They will resume developement soon.

[@Cuprite1024]

Its really cool to see this mod basically revived like this! I have a couple of nitpicks here and there (One being why do you need to use a special staff to make the Moa sit when you could just crouch-right-click? Its a weird trope in mods that I've never understood), but that's all they are: nitpicks. Minor things that really dont matter much overall. If I ever get around to playing Minecraft again, I'm absolutely gonna use this! Maybe with one or two other mods (As well as Lost Content (Maybe Deep Aether), cause of course), but nothing too drastic. :)

[@yourehereforthatarentyou]

there’s no way to tell a horse to sit so i don’t see how it’s much different from needing a lead to keep a horse in place

[@Cuprite1024]

@@yourehereforthatarentyou It just feels weird to me to need a separate item to make them sit or do things. Especially if you have multiple mods that do that and those staffs can end up cluttering your inventory. :P Again, it's just a nitpick, nothing too big.

[@Owlboi]

Imagine what minecraft would look today if we got the Aether instead of the End.

[@Theblankminer]

Well, it'd be interesting for one lol The End's kinda the worst part of MC lets be real

⁠@@spudsbuchlawI dont think it’s the worst part just under-utilised like I’d love an end update with these new alien biomes and stuff

[@holmanthehorror6127]

⁠@@sundancetitan5675Eh, the fact that the End COULD be better is immaterial to how it currently is, which kinda lame.

[@forrestberg591]

Great overview! Thorough and concise. I remember watching the PbatVG let’s play of this

[@joffnatic]

Duude i remember that guy and his MC: The Movie series

[@smc0718]

Weird seeing the Aether with modern shader packs.

[@LinkiePup]

What I am most happy about with this is that, this is "The Aether". Not the weird Aether 2 RPG that the team is also working on. When they originally announced Aether 2, way back in I think MC version 1.10.2 ( it was that long ago, or even longer). It was just a Aether revival, with dungeon crawling elements that I enjoyed. But then they started making it into a RPG with characters and lore- and I lost interest. So its genuinely nice to see that the Aether Legacy team finally put this bad boy out!

[@HazelleFPS]

it was 1.5.2 when aether 2 beta was first released

[@dansts6114]

No, they'll continue to develop Aether 2 after this mod "remake" will be done.

[@holmanthehorror6127]

I lost interest because they made the dungeons a separate plane, instead of being part of the world.

[@TechNinjaSigma]

"You're as beautiful as the day I lost you..."

[@ethanhobbs7278]

Saw this and went, aether legacy got updated cool, but then i saw it was the OG aether mod and I’m just…. Flabbergasted. That’s a what, decade and a half hiatus? I have cousins that were born during that hiatus that are old enough to be left home alone.

[@o0282]

Thank you for giving me an excellent overview of this mod! You didn't waste a second of my time. Great job.

[@jamesscalzo3033]

Loved the video @Noxus! Can't wait for the next video man! I was wondering if anyone in the Modding Community had a video about the Aether Mod and I'm glad you did. This is basically more or less Genshin Impact in Minecraft with how vibrant the Colors are and all the Mobs and Dungeons that are included. Although, I think there actually is a Genshin Impact mod for Minecraft, but it's not actually referred to as Genshin Impact due to Copyright.

[@scrumt9284]

Naturally its a perfect mod as always. It is basically a natural content extension of the vanilla game.

[@Bundle_of_grundles]

mojank saying theyll never implement the aether into vanilla because theyre focusing on "unique" content is the dumbest thing ive ever heard. if this was in the game, it would make minecraft even more enjoyable. too bad its only a mod;(

[@vicator]

Yeah its definitely better off as its own mod... it doesn't fit the vanilla style of minecraft, like a sun deity? Sure its cool, but its better fitted in a dungeon game, maybe minecraft dungeons.

[@QUBIQUBED]

It definitely would, but you’d have to make this feature compatible with every version from then on, make sure that it’s compatible, completely, with phones, tablets, laptops, PC’s, consoles, Windows, Mac, and Linuxes. Then you’d have to make sure players of a wide range of age demographics could easily digest all the strange new features of a dimension that they’ve never heard of, and then you’d have to make sure that it’s not a useless feature and that it’s essential to the game loop Sounds easy! Mojang should totally add this non-Minecraft DIMENSION to Minecraft

[@BrackenStrike]

So happy! This, this right here is the what got me obsessed with making minecraft dimensions!!!

[@Dragonmatic]

Best part about it being on 1.19 as well is the fact anything learned from vanilla data packs can directly be implied to the mod as well, opening the door for a far more expanded aether experience than what was ever possible in the past.

[@calebc.2290]

it has been seven years since i’ve scene a mod showcase and I missed them so much!

[@NucklesVault]

This reminds me of the times I used to watch paperbat play this, one of my fav mc mods

[@user-ns2ku3zz7p]

Legendary Classic and Nostalgic Mod.

[@snowleopardSH]

Thank God it's back, the other versions of aether we've had over the last few years have been questionable to say the least. I hope this team continues to update and add more features in the style of the original.

[@lovique]

Yes the aether will be updated to newer mc versions but no new contents. The "questionable” versions you talk about is probably the aether 2. The aether 2 was really unfinished for now.

[@karysu8974]

Finally! Thank you aether creators for this update. You're awesome!

[@rammus5113]

I love that its still so similar as back then. So nostalgic

[@kalerbyrd8729]

This mod was made so long ago, I remember trying to make the portal on Xbox 😂

[@samitobito]

We got a 2010s baby here lol

[@jeffdope5602]

Damn it’s been like 7 years since I last played aether thanks

[@VaultInteractive]

Hopefully they can tweak the difficulty with netherite armor in mind especially when its fully enchanted, it trivializes the difficulty of the aether in its current state

[@melonvisionstudios]

This is highly unlikely. The team wants to have the aether be somewhat self contained and is balancing around you having nothing going into the aether. Which is silly but it was also how the original version of the mod was made in mind being a new game in an existing world.

[@youmayknowmeas2an]

What Melon said. If you think it's too easy then just take it off.

[@JuiceboxCE]

Wait, currently Overworld equipment works in the Aether? Bare with me, my knowledge upkeep here is years old, but isn't Overworld equipment supposed to borderline not work whatsoever up in the Aether? Armor being weak and brittle, tools being too weak to mine anything?

[@jasonchiu272]

Well I mean wearing enchanted netherite armor means you are in the late game of Minecraft, so of couse it trivializes things.

[@bountyhunterbearmanpiggy]

it has the same protection as diamond, just less knockback. which yeah ig is a little useful for aether but not game breaking lol

[@TheBigRedToaster]

I never thought I’d hear about this amazing thug mod again, but I’m glad to see that a legendary mod so big that everyone was trying to enter the aether is back and in the latest version

[@alyssabullock6421]

I remember the good days, watching minecraft videos, and when this mod came out I loved it so much. It just hit so differently and was so aesthetically pleasing to me

[@TheLoneWolf449]

Its unfortunate that they chose to release it solely on 1.19.4 when the majority of other good mods have been stuck at 1.19.2. Hopefully they backport.

[@Redmirax]

Nah just wait to play modded MC in 1.20 as of the mods will be updated

[@lovique]

They will do a backport. But 1.19.4 is really recent, that’s why we not have a lot of mods right now.

[@marcusmcshorts]

[@---uc8sx]

Cannot wait to play with this in VR

[@liamisafireplace]

god the original mod was so cool i’m unbelievably excited by this

[@ActrosTech]

Despite hatred over new textures after release 1.14 - the fact that Aether follows vanilla's style is actually good in this case, because Aether always felt like a light version of the overworld. Oh and personally - Aether in its OG style (worldgen, dungeons etc) is by far the most preferable and just gorgeous af, keep it that way regardless of versions and the mod will live forever (!)

[@chocolate_maned_wolf]

hatred? dude that’s a tiny loud minority. 99% of real bitches love the new shit. TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT

[@Wilantonjakov]

Great review. I would also encourage a video on Aether addon mods, such as Aether Lost Content and Deep Aether.

[@Minty_Meeo]

Wow, so much of the cool gear from the Aether mod is kinda redundant in modern Minecraft. I guess that could be seen as the mod being ahead of its time back in its time.

[@shrektheogrelord6435]
