Nimbusborne: Ascent to the Aether — Server Edition

Nimbusborne: Ascent to the Aether — Server Edition is the dedicated server package for our lightweight Aether-focused adventure modpack.

This edition contains the gameplay mods, libraries, world-generation content, multiplayer systems, and performance improvements required to host a Nimbusborne server. Client-only features such as shaders, visual rendering mods, zoom tools, and interface utilities are intentionally excluded from this package.

Players joining the server should use the matching Nimbusborne Client Edition to ensure that they have the correct mods, interfaces, visual features, and configurations.

Explore an expanded Aether

Nimbusborne keeps The Aether as the main focus while expanding its world with additional content designed to feel like a natural extension of the original dimension.

Server players can explore:

• Floating islands and celestial biomes.
• New ruins, villages, shrines, and secondary structures.
• The original Aether dungeons and bosses.
• Additional Deep Aether regions, equipment, creatures, and challenges.
• Improved Moas with armor and storage.
• Expanded building and decorative options.
• New food and survival features.
• Upgradeable backpacks for longer expeditions.
• Reworked dungeon rewards and treasure recycling.

The goal is not to overwhelm The Aether with unrelated content, but to create a larger and more complete adventure around it.

Multiplayer features

The Server Edition includes multiplayer systems for:

• Creating teams.
• Claiming and protecting chunks.
• Sharing protected areas with friends.
• Exploring with a synchronized map.
• Custom quest progression.
• Cooperative objectives and rewards.
• Persistent server-based progression.

The quest system is still being developed and may continue to receive new chapters, objectives, rewards, and balance adjustments in future updates.

Optimized for dedicated servers

This package includes server-compatible performance mods intended to improve:

• Memory usage.
• Chunk processing.
• Entity and game logic.
• Tick performance.
• Loading times.
• General server stability.

The Server Edition does not include shaderpacks or client rendering modifications because those features must be managed individually through the Client Edition.

Installation requirements

This package is intended for dedicated server installation.

Server administrators should use:

Minecraft: 1.21.1
Mod Loader: NeoForge

Players must connect using the corresponding version of:

Nimbusborne: Ascent to the Aether — Client Edition

The client and server should always use matching modpack versions to prevent missing-mod, registry, recipe, or synchronization errors.

Build the portal, gather your team, protect your home among the clouds, and begin your ascent into the Aether.
