The Aether: Redux

It's almost time for a full release! First however, here's a pre-release. This version comes with some MAJOR refactors and changes, so please note that existing worlds will likely not work properly on this new version.

CHANGELOG:

• Updated to the Aether's new Beta.6

• Retextured a WIDE variety of the mod's textures

• Large-scale codebase cleanup and removal of (most) unused textures

• Added configuration options to disable generation of any of the biomes

• Replaced the Splitbloom with a new chromatic flower, the Iridia

• Made general improvements to all biomes (except for the Frosted Forests, expect some improvements there in a future update!)

• Renamed Volitite to Vitrium0

• Added new, custom breaking, placing, stepping, and falling sounds for Glowstone. Expect more of these in the future, but for Aether blocks!

• Changed the textures of Prismatic Leaves to be more blossom-y, and removed Prismatic Fruit Leaves

• Added Chromatic Berry Bushes and Chromaberries, which are the replacements for Prismatic Fruit Leaves and Prismatic Raspberries

• Renamed Highfields Flower Patches to Prismatic Petals and added two new variants

• Replaced Mini Pancakes with Oat Muffins

• Removed Skyroot Sap for now, it may return in some other form in the future

• Updated the existing Data Conditions system to be more data-driven

• Added tags for biomes with the various different biome modifiers

• Added vines to Gilded and Golden Skyroot Trees

• Removed the Highfields Forest (the Highfields biome remains in the mod, however)

• Added a denser, more wooded variant of the Gilded Groves, called the Gilded Thicket

• Added a few advancements

• Added particles to various leaf blocks, along with replacing the existing ones for Golden/Gilded Skyroots

• Made some large changes and improvements to the Cloudcap Jungle biome, including new giant mushrooms, making Sprouting Lightroots single blocks and adding double-height Cloudcap mushroom plants

• Removed Blightberry Bushes, you can now get the Blightward effect from a new food item dropped by Glowsprouts

• Added a new icy weapon, the Subzero Crossbow (thanks to IcyCrystal for the suggestion and the textures!)

• Implemented a new recipe type that is used by right-clicking an item in your inventory while hovering over it holding an Ambrosium Shard. This recipe system is used for Veridium Tools and the new Glowbuds item.

• Removed Prismatic Leaf Piles, Gilded and Golden Skyroot Trees now have leaf piles instead

• Added Blighted Skyroot Trees, which now generate alongside Blightwillow trees in the Blight
