Playing the Aether Mod in 2024

The main reason as to why this mod is STILL impressive despite its age, has to do with just how damn well it blends with the vanilla minecraft. If anything, it feels like minecraft aether update, something that minecraft SHOULD have

[@kaejuka6249]

Fr. I never understood why mojang never added it. I mean the OG creator is literally a dev there right now

[@kzkaa.]

@kaejuka6249 Kingbdogz made a tweet about it explaining why the aether won't be added. His exact words are : "The simple answer is it's a mod (even if I'm the one who lead development on it). The longer answer is that Minecraft always strives to do something different, something people don't expect. Adding the Aether to the game would feel like adding something that is out there already."

[@digitaldritten]

@@kzkaa. oh that's just lame, they shouldn't have a goal of just being "different", the goal should be "fun"!

[@kzkaa.]

@@digitaldritten It is, but if he doesn't want it added to minecraft, then so be it. He's the lead developer, after all.

[@CidVeldoril]

@@kzkaa. Still wish they'd add it into the game itself.

[@bconlon]

One of the programmers here, this was a very fun playthrough of the mod to watch! It's really nice seeing people enjoy the mod so much, especially people who are returning to it after so long now that it's out on modern Minecraft. Also honestly I was a bit devastated seeing your items get destroyed by lightning too, that's a bug I've had to fix a couple times in beta and I'm surprised to see it come back. Also RIP Jerald, I might have to see if I can prevent tragedies like that from happening again as well.

[@DragesNolya]

is it because the lightning bolt damages the item entities as the player's body drops them all?

[@dnivek12]

Any word on if this is coming to bedrock again

[@DapperChocolate]

Yo, thanks for the memories though!

[@username5155]

I love how going to The Aether isn’t “harder” than going to The Nether. This isn’t like some Advent of Ascension type stuff, it’s always just been go to The Nether, grab 10-14 glowstone, and then leave. Because The Aether is neither a replacement nor an upgrade to The Nether. It’s a place up in the sky where you can live peacefully so long as you can brave the elements first, where as The Nether was literally Hell and was literally called Hell until The Nether Update made it slightly habitable whilst also adding in tons of new ways to die horrifically. And again, with the tools, weapons and armour from The Aether, yes they’re “stronger” and “faster” than Overworld equiptment, but Aether equiptment only works in The Aether and vice versa. Yes, you _can_ use Aether weapons to tear through Aether enemies faster, but that *only* works for Aether enemies.

[@GoldBean2752]

I think that there is a reason that kingbdogz, who worked on this mod, is now a Minecraft dev.

[@somdudewillson]

...The Nether was 100% a place you could live peacefully pre-Nether Update. Given how few hostile mob spawns there were, it was arguably _safer_ than the Overworld.

I personally bind mine to shift + space but you can bind it to whatever you want I've been loving the resurgence in Aether content that's been happening since the remaster has been released! I've been donating to their patreon since before that and saw the huge progress being made on it, and it's super awesome to finally see everybody else enjoying it! Loved this video!
