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.

⚠️ Disclaimer
This availability is intended for programmers and early adopters only. Content may be missing, broken, or subject to major change.

📦 Download the latest releases
"Stable" builds
We use Curseforge to publish stable builds of the Aether for Minecraft. You can download the latest stable builds from our official page found here without signing up for an account, and even install the Aether for Minecraft using the Overwolf Launcher with built-in integration for Curseforge mods. We recommend using our stable Curseforge releases for most people.
Bleeding edge builds
If you're feeling a bit more adventurous (or a developer has suggested you to do so), we provide bleeding edge builds which are produced on CircleCI. These builds are very frequently created through the continuous integration service and contain the latest available code without undergoing any form of quality control. We do not generally recommend users use these builds as they may contain serious issues and will not generally receive support. Select the "build" job on a recently ran workflow, and find the binary under the artifacts tab.
🐛 Report bugs or other issues
If you're running into bugs or other problems, feel free to open an issue on our issue tracker. When doing so, we ask that you provide the following information:
- The exact version of the Aether you are running, such as
1.10.2-1.0.0, and the version of Forge you are using, such as14.23.5.2768. Please do not state "the latest stable release" or "latest Forge". - If your issue is a bug or otherwise unexpected behavior, state what you expected to happen.
- If your issue is a crash, attach the latest client or server log and the complete crash report as a file.
- If your issue only occurs with other mods/plugins installed, list the exact mod/plugin versions installed.
Make sure to keep your issue's description clear and concise. Your issue's title should also be easy to digest, giving our developers and reporters a good idea of what's wrong without including too many details. Failure to follow any of the above may result in your issue being closed.
Our reporters and developers work around the clock, and will take care of debugging, labeling, and sorting your issues. However, please note that there are currently many open issues, and that it may take some time (up to a few weeks in the worst case) for your issue to be triaged and resolved. Typically, issues are resolved in order of severity and complexity, not the date submitted.
