The Aether Collaboration is a content mod which includes the Aether realm, several new blocks, mobs and items as well as a whole new accessory system.

Installing

In order to install the Aether Collaboration you will need three pre-existing mods: ModLoader, AudioMod, and ShockAhPI. Installing these in the wrong order may cause your game to crash. But a safe way would be to install them in this order: 1. ModLoader 2.ShockAhPI 3. AudioMod 4. the Aether Mod.

Installing is easy, just make sure you make a backup copy of your minecraft.jar-file in the bin-folder before you start. Then just copy the contents of the mods into the minecraft.jar-file.

Features

Patch 1.01

This patch was directed towards bug fixes. The contents of the patch is as follows:

- Moas were untamable/unfeedable. This has been fixed, with Blue Moas requiring 3 Aechor Petals, White Moas requiring 4 Aechor Petals, and Black Moas requiring 8 Aechor Petals. You still need to wait for the Baby Moa to "digest" its food before feeding it again.
- There was an Overpopulation/Underpopulation of Mobs (e.g. Too many zephyrs, very little Aechor Plants, occasionally no Swets, etc). This has been fixed, by scaling down the Zephyr spawn-rate a lot more.
- Golden Oaks were minable effectively with a Pickaxe instead of an Axe. You should now be able to gain Golden Amber/Skyroot Logs from Golden Oaks with Axes.
- You could not craft Zanite armor, as only the gloves were craftable. This has been fixed, with all recipes added.
- Non-generated Quicksoil was still returning drops with a Skyroot Shovel. This exploit has been patched.
- Icestone used to freeze not only the source block but the stream also. When the source was frozen the stream would stay behind and doesn't go away. This has been fixed so that the source blocks are frozen instead, and the streams disappear afterwards.
- Untamed Moas would follow you when right clicked. This has been fixed.
- Zephyrs used to drop Gunpowder. This has now been changed so that they drop a large stack of Cold Aercloud.

Aether realm

Aether is a realm in the sky. Its main features are floating islands and solid clouds. Fire cannot be used in the Aether although water works fine. When a player falls from the Aether, they'll be spawned from the sky of the normal world.

New blocks

Name Description Image
Aether Dirt Aether dirt is the basic dirt in the Aether, and will grow into Aether Grass when exposed to sun light. It is much easier to mine than normal dirt found on the surface.
Skyroot Logs Skyroot Logs are the main base of Skyroot Trees. They provide the basic essential for your Aether adventures, and can be crafted into four Skyroot Planks.
Skyroot Leaves Skyroot Leaves are the leaf blocks of Skyroot Trees. On chance, they will drop a Skyroot Sapling to replant.
Golden Oak Logs Golden Oak Logs make up the base of Golden Oak trees. They are embedded with Golden Amber, which can be used to craft very powerful Golden Darts.
Golden Oak Leaves Golden Oak Leaves are the leaf blocks of Golden Oak trees. They occasionally drop Golden Oak Saplings and Golden Apples.
Skyroot Sapling Skyroot Saplings allow you to replant Skyroot Trees.
Golden Oak Saplings Golden Oak Saplings are occasionally dropped from Golden Oak Leaves. They can be replanted into Aether Dirt to regrow a Golden Oak tree.
Skyroot Planks Skyroot Planks can be crafted from Skyroot Logs. They can be used to craft Skyroot Sticks and from there, Skyroot Tools.
Holystone Holystone is the common stone block in the Aether, and can be used to craft Holystone Tools.
Mossy Holystone Mossy Holystone is a rare Holystone block that can be found at the base of an Aether Dungeon entrance.
Cold Aercloud Cold Aercloud is a very common type of Aercloud found in the Aether. Long strips of them can be found in the formations of clouds. They have very strange properties; while sometimes they will prevent fall damage, other times they will not. Use them wisely, but be wary when falling from large heights. They can also be crafted into Cloud Parachutes.

Blue Aerclouds

Blue Aerclouds are slightly rare than Cold Aerclouds, and bounce mobs, items and the player when coming into contact.
Gold Aerclouds Gold Aerclouds are the rarest type of Aercloud. Alone they do not have any special properties from normal Cold Aerclouds, but they can be crafted into Golden Parachutes which have 20 uses rather than the normal 1.
Quicksoil Quicksoil can be found on the sides of islands. When mobs walk on it, their movement speed is increased. However, it takes a while to build up speed. These can be both a good block to abuse its speed, but also a dangerous block to come into contact with.
Icestone Icestone can be found in large chunks, usually on the sides of islands. One placement, they will freeze all water and lava sources around it.
Ambrosium Ore Ambrosium Ore is a common block found in the Aether. It drops Ambrosium Shards, which can be used for Ambrosia Torches, fueling Enchanters, and even healing.
Zanite Ore Zanite Ore is slightly rarer than Ambrosium Ore, and can be found on the sides of islands. Zanite Gemstones are dropped from these ore blocks, and can be used for a variety of recipes (including Zanite Tools and Zanite Armour).
Gravitite Ore / Enchanted Gravitite Gravitite Ore is the rarest ore-type in the Aether, and can be enchanted into "Enchanted Gravitite" blocks. Gravitite Ore, by default, will float up into the air. However, Enchanted Gravitite only floats up into the air when powered with redstone. Enchanted Gravitite is required to craft powerful Gravitite Tools and Gravitite Armour.
Pillar A decorative Pillar block found on the outside of Silver Dungeons.
Pillar Top A decorative Pillar Top block found on the outside of Silver Dungeons.
Ambrosium Torch Ambrosium Torches are like regular torches, just crafted with Skyroot Sticks and Ambrosium Shards instead.
Enchanter Enchanters are a new type of tile entity which can be crafted. They require Holystone blocks and one Zanite Gemstone to craft. By default, it uses Ambrosium Shards as fuel, and can repair damaged tools or items; the more damaged the tool is, the more fuel it requires. It can also enchant a few existing items into more powerful versions.
Incubator Incubators are a new type of tile entity which can be crafted. They require Holystone blocks and one Ambrosium Torch. By default, it used Ambrosium Torches as fuel, and can incubate Moa Eggs into Baby Moas.
Locked Chest Locked Chests are found in Dungeons, and cannot be broken. To acquire their rare lot within, you must obtain a key from the Dungeon Boss.
Dungeon Stones Decorative blocks found within the Aether Dungeons.
Dungeon Lightstones Decorative blocks found within the Aether Dungeons which radiate a small amount of light.
Aerogel A slightly transparent block which is resistant to all explosions.
