    About

    Refreshed Aether is a resource pack that retextures content from the Aether (Legacy) mod in the newer Minecraft texture style associated with Jappa. It updates blocks and items, with some textures shown in both old and refreshed forms, and includes emissive textures for certain blocks and items when used with OptiFine.

    Written from CurseForge . How we write it

    In-game changes

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.12 to 1.12.2.

    Keeps all of vanilla Minecraft's textures, models and sounds.

    In OptiFine's formats: glowing textures. Also has files for 1 other mod: Aether legacy.

    Textures are mostly 16 by 16 pixels, up to 512 by 512.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.12 to 1.12.2.

    We checked what is inside its files, without opening them in the game.

    Why we show this: a resource pack cannot run programs, but its file can hide one. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade.

    How we checked · The latest file checked, last on 16 Oct 2026
    • 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.
      1 latest file. It is not for a recent Minecraft version, so the answer above is about it. 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

    Privacy

    Sends nothing

    A resource pack has no code that can connect to the internet, so it cannot send anything about you.

    AI

    No sign so far that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its description, files and images and found none.

    We have not read its changelogs yet.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
