The Aether II
Last Updated: Jan 2, 2019 Game Version: 1.12.2
Announcing, Aether II - Highlands
We've been hard at work 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. We're back on track to create the best version of the Aether II yet, and we're opening the flood gates to players on Curseforge today.
What is the Aether II?
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.
Snapshot ("Alpha") Releases
You may have noticed that Aether downloads for Minecraft 1.12.2 are marked as alpha. As with a massive overhaul of a mod, issues are bound to arise. The Aether for Minecraft 1.12.2 is not considered stable yet, but is playable. We recommend staying away from adding the Aether to modpacks or making showcase videos quite yet, as you may run into serious bugs or progression issues.
Dependencies
The Aether II release (1.7.10-1.6) requires GGUtil which can be found here
Aether II indev builds no longer require any other mods to be installed to play.
Older Aether II indev builds (1.12.2-1.0.0+) require Orbis API to be separately installed. It can be found here

Cool but when is the next update
I cannot install the modpack. Is this a bug? The Twitch Launcher doesn't seem to identify it as a pack.
I am having a problem downloading this mod, it keeps saying stuff about orbis.
"Forge mod loader has found a problem with your minecraft installation, you have mod sources that are duplicate within you system. Mod ID: File name
orbis_api : orbis_api-0.1.0.jar
orbis_api : orbis_api-1.12.2-1.1.12a.jar"
Mind if anyone can help?
This looks ****** amazing. Can't wait for the new updates that are planned. Curse needs more high quality mods like this. Keep up the good work, And Happy Thanksgiving.
I don't know if its a problem with this or Orbis, but your current version has a problem where the blueprint for one of the random gen structures does not load, and it seems to cause "A fatal exception occurred during the server about to start event" Screenshot of logs here: https://imgur.com/niyXw8l
I have to say, I'm slightly disappointed. I'm a long time Aether fan, and I've been loving all the developments going in to making Aether better and better with every update.
But I'm just not a fan at all of the complete disconnect from normal Minecraft. Sure you can "send items back" and all that, but I loved the Aether as another dimension to explore with friends. I know that if their inventories are taken away from them, they're not going to want to come with me. The charm of a Nether-like Glowstone portal was great too, and now that's gone.
I don't think I'm wrong in saying, I speak for a lot of people when I say please, put in a config option to just make it like an ordinary fantastic dimension to play Minecraft in, portal and all.
I'll enjoy playing the Aether sure, but sometimes, I just want to play Modded Minecraft.
Aether Legacy may exist, but it's Aether I. So much has changed that I've gotten used to in 1.7.10. This version of Aether II might as well be Aether III, it's just so different.
And personally, I like II more than III.
In reply to Evil_Paragon:
Hey, I have been having an issue where there is no sound coming from the game at all. My game doesn't crash, but it is kinda annoying to play with no noise. I'm on the 1.12.2 version, and I was wondering if anyone might know a solution? Also how do you turn off the spinning timer in the top right corner of the screen? Thanks
Hi :D (i are a brazilian and not speak 100% english) i have a question for you : the npcs , the new mobs , the bronze,silver and gold dungeon will have on 1.7.10 festive update? ( i are playing on 1.7.10 old version) . thx :)
Hi!Can you give me permission to repost your Aether II Mod to MCmod(www.mcmod.cn)?And you can see this post
A Web Site----Minecraft Mod Wikipedia(MCMOD.cn)
I don't get one thing. You had to do everything from scratch after 1.8.x update but one guy was able to port original aether alone to newer version.
Don't get me wrong but 1.7.10 version is superior to current ones, I know that they are still "beta" but in current development speed(I don't blame you for it) it will take more than a year or two to even get close to what 1.7.10 version offered. I think that you focus too much on trying to make this mod look different from vanilla like replacing old mobs with custom models or adding some small things lying around but core things are neglected like terrain generation, it's still boring, flat islands in grid. To be honest even if this was insanely difficult I guess it would be better and faster to port 1.7.10 version to new ones and add some content instead of spending few years trying to get new version to be on pair with 1.7.10 one which is even more difficult but I guess now it's too late for it. 1.8x modding changes basically destroyed this awesome mod.
Can I use this in a modpack?
Whenever i try to click the file, it does nothing, do i put it into my minecraft mods? Versions? I don't know,
1.12 pls
Bruh, Forge isnt even out for 1.12
Hey keyboard warrior, why not go fix the virus instead of trying to provide "proof" that is gave you one in the first place. Plus, reading this comment really is a huge waste of time for the thousands of people downloading the mod, and you are warning these people about nothing. You most likely clicked on some stupid link that gave you a virus.
Hydras, I downloaded the mod and I see no "virus" on my computer. Now do not take offense and this is me thinking of the worst case scenario. But maybe you saw an advertisement that had a counterfeit ReCAPTHCA system on the advertisement. And possibly the same goes for your computer detecting the "virus". I have seem many youtubers use this mode and review it, that may have been in the past. But I can almost assure you that the creator did not want your computer getting a "virus" and is probably sorry to hear that. I doubt the download itself had a virus in it, but there is a small chance. Also if you really think they can take the virus off of your computer, they either would have to come to your house to remove it. Or use a software that allows people, in this case the Aether mod devs wirelessly access your computer and properly terminate the "virus". If I were you, I wouldn't want the Aether mod devs to have any "more" access to my computer if "they" really did install a "virus". My reasoning is if their intention was to harm other peoples' computer, why wouldn't they just download more malware onto your computer?
I think, and this is just what I think with no further information, that you are just trolling, again just what I think. My evidence is in your post and replies gave off a slight feeling of immaturity, with you going from super serious(calling your local authorities of this matter) to chilled out and less angry("if this comment &"(probably you trying to say is)"flaged or Deleted and I'm banned from posting I can just make another account & repost it lel") I don't think I am the only one too see the almost bipolar change in aggression. But maybe it is just me. I hope you can understand me and what I am trying to say. Oh and before I stop writing this long winded post, you could also remove the "virus" with an antivirus software. Have a good day and hopefully you can successfully remove the "virus" from your computer
Does this mod need any sort of extra / side mods?
so is this the same as the genisis of the void aether?
Can you, in the next update, increase the spawn rates of tempests and zephyrs? Also, could you make the aether soundtracks play more often while in the dimension? Those things, and the mod would be perfect!
