July 24th - We're working on an update to bring the Aether II mod to Minecraft 1.14! We will still provide support for Minecraft 1.12 as we divert resources to moving to Minecraft 1.14, but updates for this version will be limited to bug fixes only. This does not mean that the Minecraft 1.12 releases are complete or stable.
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.
If you run into any issues, please do not report them by leaving a comment on this page. 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.
Support Gilded Games
Without your help on Patreon, our re-imagining of Aether II mod wouldn't have been possible. Please consider pledging to help fund development, and you'll receive some special perks in the process! Every pledge goes directly towards development and enables us to continue doing what we love most.
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?
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!
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!

your higlands versions from 0.2.0 and later are not capable with opencomputers last version on 1.12.2. Just let you know it. I hope this information come in handy for you
Have any dungeons been added to this mod or is it just an overworld + gear and ores and such?
Can you give us a bit of a time frame on when we can expect this mod for 1.14.4? I know you're busy updating and working on the mod, but I just like to get excited about things like this.
In reply to MaGetTheCamera_:
Getting the mod on 1.14.4 is our development focus at the moment but given the nature of our development resources we can't really give estimates on when the port will be done unfortunately.
I don't know if it's a bug but a aerclouds like purple, green, blue, thunder don't generate in the aether highlands world, just normal aerclouds
I just read not to put bugs in the comments here and have no idea on how to delete my comment, so,uh, yuh.
In reply to Creepy_Duck:
Lol honestly have no idea if you're saying that for yourself or if you're trying to mock me in a way? Either way, whoops. Me and my dumb ADHD always misses those sort of things in descriptions, even when I try to read carefully :(

In reply to Creepy_Duck:
Oh, but I did look there and saw a post that had the same issue, but it was posted a week ago and has no replies. So I'm keeping track of that one just in case it gets any. There is a different portal you can use apparently if the quartz one doesn't work or for some other reason, so I guess it doesnt concern me anymore.
In reply to jinuluvs:
what is the different portal?

In reply to Creepy_Duck:
Sorry for the third reply but I realized what you probably meant by :') as in you probably replied with smth like "I have the same issue too" but then read the "do not put bugs in the comments" and went back to edit;; sorry I'm so dumb
In reply to jinuluvs: I quoted yours and gave more information on the issue. Then read more, saw that I shouldn't put bugs in the comment so I erased all I said hoping that would delete my comment. So yeah, I was not mocking you in any way, just simply unable to delete my comment.
For whatever reason the portal doesn't become a portal. I built it right, but when I try to put water in it, nothing happens.
where is 1.14.4
Can you hatch moas in the current verison?
for some reason the stats of the swords kept getting scrambled and sometimes randomly the holy stone sword sometimes did 9 damage and and would also lift up enemies up, and other times sword would just do 1 damage.
Hi! I am new to downloading mods so please bear with me. I was just wondering if there was any way I could still download The Aether II: Genesis of the Void? It was my favorite version but I cannot get it to work. It would help so much if someone gave me the official link to the version website or instructions on how I could download it. Thanks!
In reply to i_glados1:
The Genesis of the Void releases are still available on this Curseforge page under the Minecraft 1.7 section.
Update to 1.14.2 plz!
Hello,
I've just installed the mod, but as soon as I open the game it says that I downloaded an unofficial version of the mod. I decided to check, as I might had downloaded from another page and I didn't remember. I clicked the link the messagge said (this link) and I downloaded it again. I replaced the file and ran minecraft. However, the same screen showed up. I clicked the option I was a developer and that I knew what I was doing. After that, I created a world and the game crashed. I'd be glad if you could help me.
Thank you
In reply to ElValenshus:
Also, I think this might be important: The Orbis Api link is not available, so I was forced to download it from another page.
