About
Aether: Lost Content Addon restores and develops abandoned, unused, and concept-stage ideas from Aether I and Aether Legacy, giving some formerly undefined concepts new purposes. Its major addition is the Platinum Dungeon, built around the Aerwhale King boss: Gale Stone and glowing Light Gale Stone form its structure, while activating the Songstone prepares the king for battle. Defeating the Aerwhale King awards a Platinum Key for treasure on the dungeon’s second floor, and also unlocks the dungeon’s Gale Stone and Light Gale Stone for collection. The recovered equipment includes forceful Power Gloves, an Invisibility Gem that can conceal its wearer after a blow, and Phoenix tools that smelt ores, sand, or wood, alongside a Phoenix Sword that burns foes and cooks animal drops. Other distinctive gear includes the Phoenix Cape, which can save its wearer from falling into the void, the Shield of Emile, which reflects blocked projectiles, and shields with Gravitite knockback or Sentry explosion protection and a chance to detonate. The dungeon also yields Agility Boots for faster movement, while a Swetty Mask can prevent crash damage when flying with an Elytra. New Moa breeding and eggs add distinct mounts: Orange Moas have two mid-air jumps and build speed while moving in one direction, while Brown Moas can hatch from eggs laid when Blue and Orange Moas are nearby and have three stronger mid-air jumps. The addon also adds Crystal Saplings that grow into Crystal Fruit Trees and a Legacy music disc that plays “Legacy” in a jukebox.

Security
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.3 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the one for a recent version. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of its one file, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.
AI
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and sounds and found none.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.No AI content or AI features declared.
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Nothing found1 of 40 changelogs read
