Aether II's first Update - The Highlands Update, is set in the expanded Highlands Continent, familiar and new terrain features as well as improved structures and cave generation all make the Aether's world feel more alive than ever.

The Highlands Continent

Aether II features an expanded list of passive, neutral and hostile mobs.
Each biome will be home to multiple unique creatures as well as regional variants of some common animals (including some nostalgic designs for the Forgotten Highlands)

New mobs!

We've begun introducing new combat mechanics specific to Aether II's weapons. Each new weapon deals one of the three new Damage Types, learn mob's strengths and weaknesses and choose the correct weapon for the fight

New Weapons

Aether II now features large cave systems to make mining and exploration more engaging! Soon there will even be unique Cave Mobs that make spelunking more risky! The Deeper you go, the higher the risk but also the greater the reward.

Deep Caves

We have plans for three brand new Dungeons for Aether II's Highlands Update. We will begin implementing them some time in the near future!

Dungeons coming soon!

We're still in the early days of development, but by our 1.0.0 release version the mod will contain these features, including 3 Dungeons, Aether villages, heaps of loot and much more!

Future plans for the Highlands Update

On Dungeons...
The Aether II's Highlands Update is still heavily in development and currently does not feature Dungeons. We are expected to start work on implementation for the first Dungeon some time in the future, but no ETA can be given as of yet. This notice will be removed once the first Dungeon is implemented into the mod. 
<h2>Heads up! Before you get started...</h2>

<h2>Announcing, the Highlands Update </h2>
&nbsp;
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/hr8VYmo.png" width="850" height="262">
We've been hard at work&nbsp;on our update to the Aether II mod, from a complete rewrite of the mod's code base to a massive overhaul of every concept and aspect of the mod. New textures, blocks, NPCs, structures, you name it. And we're not even warmed up yet. &nbsp;We're back on track to create&nbsp;the best version of the Aether II yet, and we're opening the flood gates to players on Curseforge today.
<h2>What is the Aether II?</h2>
The Aether II is the sequel to the highly popular dimension mod "The Aether", set in a hostile paradise miles up in the clouds, the Aether is an entirely different world from what regular players are used to, filled with fantastic creatures and mysterious structures, the Aether is a world brimming with life and history. You'll have to relearn key ideas as the Aether challenges you with twisted materials, terrifying monsters and deep lore if you want to survive and prosper in this strange new land.
As the mod comes closer to a final release, Dungeons, Biomes, NPC settlements will pepper the landscape, offering new and exciting challenges and experiences unique to this mysterious world.
<hr>
<h2>Installation Guide</h2>
You may have noticed that downloads available for Minecraft 1.12 and newer are marked as beta.&nbsp;As with a massive overhaul of a mod, issues are bound to arise. The Aether II for Minecraft 1.12.2 is not considered stable yet, but is playable. We recommend&nbsp;staying away from adding the Aether to modpacks or making showcase videos quite yet, as you may run into serious bugs or progression issues
The Aether II is installed like any other Minecraft Forge mod, but you may need to install additional mods depending on the version of the Aether you are playing. 
<h3>Minecraft 1.12+ releases </h3>
The latest beta releases for Minecraft 1.12+ do not require any additional mods.
However, if you are using an older release (published before 2019) you will need to install the latest version of OrbisAPI which can be downloaded from our Curseforge page <a href="https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/orbis-api?gameCategorySlug=mc-mods&projectID=292627" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.
<h3>Minecraft 1.7.10 releases</h3>
The Aether II releases for Minecraft 1.7.10 require the latest version of <a href="https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/gilded-games-util?gameCategorySlug=mc-mods&projectID=228114" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Gilded Games Util</a> to be installed.
<hr>
<h2>What's new?</h2>
&nbsp;
The Aether II has its own unique portal! Create a frame of Quartz Blocks and light it with water to enter the Aether II's world!
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/6aSd4Us.png" width="850" height="446"> 
&nbsp;
The Aether II has seen a huge face-lift! New textures, mobs, blocks, and structures can be found in the hostile paradise that is the Aether.

&nbsp; 
We've overhauled World Generation! The new WIP terrain increases the variety and complexity of the terrain, adding caves, new biomes and more!

&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2 style="text-align:left">What's next?</h2>
We have a lot planned for Aether II. Highlands will launch very soon&trade; and will have these features and more!
