Chroniques de l'Ether

First public release, for testers. Minecraft 1.21.1 · NeoForge 21.1.255 · 237 mods.

▎ ⚠️ Alpha: Ages I and II are tested. Ages III to VI are complete and playable, but not yet tested end to end or balanced.

The adventure

• 6 ages of progression: Survivor → Artisan → Engineer-Arcanist → Technomancer → Aether Warden → The Void. Your age belongs to your team; craft and use an Age Seal to move on to the next one.
• Dimensions locked by age: Twilight Forest (II), Nether (III), Aether and the Void (IV), End (V), Abyss (VI).
• Cross-mod recipes, tech × magic: Create, Ars Nouveau, Immersive Engineering, Mekanism, Iron's Spells, Occultism…
• Currency: Aether Shards (9 Shards = 1 Crystal, 9 Crystals = 1 Heart).

The world

• The Ruin of Awakening: a collapsed observatory at spawn, with its anomaly, its crypt and its chests.
• The Guardian of the Ruin: the first boss, summoned at the crypt altar, with a Void phase below 50% health.
• Two faction outposts generated 500 blocks from spawn: the Brass Wheel Consortium's trading post and the Order of the Seal's Watchtower.
• The Altar of the Silent and cultist camps scattered across the world.
• The Void Moon (Age V) and the Void Entity, the final boss of the Abyss (Age VI).

The characters

• Aldric Venn, the last survivor of the Ruin: his story moves forward with every age, up to the epilogue.
• Ysolde Krane (Consortium) and Thalia Morn (Order): each has her own faction questline.
• Bram Kessel and Cassien Vell, merchants: they sell for Shards and buy back resources.

The quest book "Chronicles of the Aether"

• 680 quests in 32 chapters, in English and French.
• One chapter per age, plus 2 faction chapters.
• 24 mod guides (505 quests): Create, Mekanism, Ars Nouveau, Twilight Forest, AE2, Immersive Engineering, bosses, Aether… They are optional and open with the matching age.
• Guides give XP. The end of each branch also gives Shards and a random item from that mod.
• A "Mods of this Age" row in every age chapter.
• Clean layout: no quest overlaps another, and no dependency line crosses another.
• Renamed book, with a custom icon and texture.

Technical fixes

• Village road signs (Supplementaries) are disabled: they could freeze the server for 40 to 80
• 510 broken block loot tables are fixed (Beautify, DnDecor, Railways).
• Apotheosis Create recipes (material rarity upgrades) are fixed for Create 6.
• Cleaner logs: no more KubeJS errors on load.

Known issues

• The Void Moon's purple sky can appear from Age I (visual only).
• Cultists can show up early around their camps.
• Merchant prices, the Guardian's health and the rewards are provisional values.
