On Dungeons...

The Aether II Highlands is still heavily in development and currently does not feature Dungeons. We are expected to start work on implementation for the first Dungeon some time during 2020.

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.

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!
