The Aether adds a sky dimension of cloud-fringed floating islands where players can begin a separate survival adventure, gathering new ores and materials and exploring its hostile terrain. Its content includes the Skyroot, Holystone, Zanite, and Gravitite material tiers, with corresponding tools and weapons, as well as new blocks, items, and utility stations called the Altar, Freezer, and Incubator. Players can equip discovered loot through an accessory system, consult the Book of Lore for entries on the mod’s blocks and items, and ride Moas, flying mounts with different jump capacities. The dimension has three major dungeons: the Bronze Dungeon, a labyrinth guarded by Sentries and the stone Slider; the Silver Dungeon, a Valkyrie temple culminating in a battle with the Valkyrie Queen; and the rare Gold Dungeon, where the Sun Spirit guards powerful treasure. The Aether remains in eternal day until the final dungeon is conquered, after which the Sun Altar can be used to control the day cycle.

Keeps all of vanilla Minecraft's textures, models and sounds.
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
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.
We found nothing it sends about you
We read its code without running it: it contacts 1 web address while you play.
Like any connection, each address it contacts sees your IP address.
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.
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images, sounds and code history 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.
