New! The Aether II project now has an official translation hub that can be found here. Consider joining our avid team of translators and help bring the mod to new languages today!
Heads up! Before you get started...
Make sure you have installed a suitable version of Forge for the version of the Aether II you are downloading (it can be found in the download's details page.) Additionally, please be mindful that beta releases are usually incompatible with old worlds. Always create a new world when upgrading to a newer beta release.

We have a dedicated issue tracker and an official Discord server where you can report bugs, crashes, and other issues. You will not receive a reply from us if you use the Curseforge comments section to report issues.

Announcing, the Highlands Update
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.
Installation Guide
You may have noticed that downloads available for Minecraft 1.12 and newer are marked as beta. 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 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.
Minecraft 1.12+ releases
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 here.
Minecraft 1.7.10 releases
The Aether II releases for Minecraft 1.7.10 require the latest version of Gilded Games Util to be installed.
What's new?
New in 1.12.2 we have a redesigned portal block! The Aether Teleporter! Crafted with just stone and iron you can now access the Aether II's content early on in your survival playthrough.
A new prologue area will guide you into the Aether's world. The new Necromancer NPC will be your contact for getting to the heavenly realm. Explore his tower before heading to the Aether!
The Aether II has also seen a huge face-lift! New textures, mobs, blocks, and structures can be found in the hostile paradise that is the Aether.
Revamped world generation that's better than ever, producing actual islands! Trade secret stuff.
Biomes! New biomes and island features are now available!
What's next?
We have a lot planned for Aether II. Highlands will launch very soon™ and will have these features and more!

Nice
I know I won't get a reply for a while but after quitting out my game I came back to just complete blackness. I placed torches and did whatever I could, and it was still black. I need some help on how to fix this, I don't wanna trash a world of hard work because some stupid black screen bug.
When will this mod have a stable 1.12 version? this has always been a favorite of mine and im sad to see i cant use it in my pack due to crashes. (Literally just crashes with no crash report and the logs are useless lol)
Are you guys considering porting this mod to Minecraft 1.14.3?
In reply to uziofficial:
There is no such thing as mods for 1.14,they just became able to mod 1.13,forge for 1.14,or 1.14.1 .2 .3 is not a thing yet.
In reply to awesomecory: I looked at the ather 2 github and it appears they are working a a 1.14 version
In reply to awesomecory:
"forge for 1.14 or 1.14.1, 2, 3 is not a thing yet." https://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/net/minecraftforge/forge/index_1.14.3.html
You guys should make your own game, this is awesome!
In reply to memerteameryt:
Maybe not... It will just seem like a Minecraft off-brand if they do.
In reply to nebulainsanity75:
Im not saying it should be this in particular or it has to be related to minecraft
'Aight, so this might be alot to ask but will there be updates for 1.13+?
Why is the file so large, almost 40mb...I didn't think this mod added that much content yet.
entao deu um crash aqui

I know this is a long shot, but I'm using aether_ii-1.12.2-0.2.0+build42-universal and really would like the model for the zephyroo, because I use it to create stuff with customnpc.
Is there a version where you added this model, even not spawning in the world?
Is the Aether 2 the same as the Aether mod with more content?
In reply to A_Random_Lantern:
No.AetherⅡ is a different new build,though the ingame story has integration with AetherⅠ.
AetherⅡ has biomes,mobs,tools,a few NPCs,and is playable;but it's not stable,and doesn't have any dungeons or bosses,yet.
You should make the old glowstone portal a configurable option in the config of the mod once it's completed.
Is there a version with the old glowstone portal, as I prefer the look and sound of it..?

Like I want the nether portal esc portal ;-; not the weird alter
