Frutiger Auna

Remember the wallpapers of the late 2000s? Blue skies that looked freshly washed, impossibly green hills, glass towers, water drops, bubbles floating for no reason. Frutiger Auna turns that feeling into a place you can walk around in.

You don't reach it with a portal frame. You reach it with a computer.

Getting there

1. Craft an Aero Computer — iron, a light-blue glass pane and redstone.
2. Find an Aero USB by exploring: it turns up in chests while exploring and has no crafting recipe. It is never used up, so one is enough for every trip.
3. Right-click the computer. It boots into Auna OS: click your name to log in, then open Portal.

You arrive on a small glass platform next to an Aero Terminal, a station kiosk that never breaks. Use it (or any Aero Computer in the dimension) and choose Go Home to return exactly where you left.

What you'll find

• Rolling meadows and turquoise lagoons, always at noon, with three new flowers.
• Glass cities standing on lagoons and flat meadows, with plazas, gardens and fountains.
• Floating glass orbs — some empty, some holding water, some holding a tiny island.
• Garden Domes: geodesic glass domes on flat meadows, with a pond, fountain, trees and benches.
• The Frutiger Lounge: a glass-vaulted gallery in white and lime with a water channel, fountain, benches and computer kiosks.
• The Poolrooms: quiet tiled halls under the grass, reached by a wide stairway under a glass pavilion. Sunken pools lit from below, pearl-railed walls, an arcade of columns, benches and a loot chest in every room. Nobody knows who built them.
• Aero fish in the lagoons, with bubbles rising from the water.
• Loot chests: three in every city, one in every Poolroom room, one on the floating islands.

Things to build with

Aero Glass, Glass Bricks, Facade Glass, Pool Tiles, Caustic Pool Tiles, Light Panels, Aero Gel (a glossy gel block), Pearl Pavers and Steps, Aero Foundation (connected textures, no extra mod needed), lamps, glass tables with a pearl pedestal, ladders, fountain cores, and benches you can actually sit on — place a few in a row and they join into one long bench. Computers come in four colors: classic, lime, tangerine and grape.

Frutiger Player

Inside the dimension a small glass music player appears in the corner, playing the mod's own lo-fi tracks. Fold it, pause it, skip songs (Y / U / I, rebindable), or drag it anywhere with the chat open. Size, volume and visibility are in Mods → Frutiger Auna → Config.

Performance

The sky uses a light cloud layer instead of shaders, so it runs on integrated graphics. Tested on an Intel Iris Xe laptop together with Embeddium, ModernFix and FerriteCore. The soft clouds can be turned off in the config. With an Oculus shader pack active, Frutiger Auna steps aside and lets the shader draw the sky.

Advancements

Ten of them, in their own tab — from booting your first computer to collecting every color.

Good to know

• JEI is recommended to browse the recipes.
• 0.8.0 uses a new network protocol: a 0.8.0 client cannot join a 0.7.0 server and vice versa. Update both sides together.
• Travel is safer: if your arrival or return spot is blocked, you are moved to the nearest safe spot (nothing is ever broken).
• Languages: English, Español.
