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.
This is a fork of the original Aether II meant for LTS 1.12.2 support only! Issues found within this version should only be reported to me here and not the original Aether team. This version will not be ported to modern versions as they are still being supported by the original team.
Some people may be confused as to why I decided to fork and maintain Aether II in 1.12.2 seeing as the mod was left in a very unfinished state and no longer has any intention of updating this version. The main reason is that I use it in Dimension Hopper: The Fall and wanted it to be compatible with modern versions and forks of phosphor like Alfheim Lighting Engine, but I also see the appeal of this as more relaxed alternative to the original that just needs a bit of work. I might deviate a bit from the Aether Team's original intent with the mod due to this just being LTS, but the main goal is to make the current experience as comfortable as possible.
This fork does not currently have any stable releases but will soon be available on CurseForge
