[1.5.1] AETHER II - GENESIS OF THE VOID V1.02

[Velocity]

What is Aether II?

The Aether II is the sequel to the Aether I. The Aether is a “hostile paradise”, composed of floating sky islands filled with strange creatures and great mysteries. The Portal to the Aether is made out of a Glowstone Frame, and can be activated with a Bucket of Water!

Features

The Aether introduces several huge mechanical features to enhance the experience both in the Aether and everywhere else in Minecraft.

Party System

First of all is the party system. Previously in Minecraft, the only real way to form a group with others without having to worry about things such as friendly fire were from overlaying plugins such as factions or towny over a Minecraft server. Now with the party system, you can form a party with your friends, complete with an overlay UI which lets you see who’s in your party, their health, their hunger, their armour and the amount of coins they have, without the need for plugins! Players can name their own party, and the maximum party size is 10 players.

Dungeons

One of the features we have worked on for this release is the dungeon system. This system isolates dungeons from the main world and functions with the party system. Dungeon blocks regenerate instantly if broken, meaning no one can get inside even with creative mode. Instead of players rushing into a dungeon and demolishing whatever’s there and looting, the dungeon system requires players to form a party first. When the party is ready, you simply right-click on the dungeon door and everyone confirms if they’re ready. Since a party can only have up to 10 players, dungeons will present a decent challenge to players. Only one party can be present in a dungeon at any given time.

Dungeons have three modes. The first mode is “available” meaning the dungeon is free for any party to enter. The second mode is “occupied”, meaning a party is already inside the dungeon. The third mode is “conquered”, which occurs after a player in your party has exhausted that dungeon. A dungeon becomes exhausted for a player either after the player finishes it or leaves when inside the dungeon three times. This prevents players from running the same dungeon for easy loot.

Dungeons also regenerate their loot, mini-bosses and bosses after a party leaves it, meaning that content is available for other parties. This ensures everyone gets a chance at dungeons, rather than whoever gets there first.

The first dungeon that this mod had added is the Sliders’ Labyrinth. This dungeon expands an entire island, meaning you’ll have no shortage of loot to grab, enemies to fight or chambers to explore!

The dungeon has three mini bosses which must be defeated before you can gain access to the final boss, the Slider. There’s a couple of new twists with this boss, so be careful!

On top of these new systems, not only do we have the original content of the Aether, but we have new mobs, new skyroot tree variants, new blocks, new items, new loot and reworked models and skins! We have lots more content planned.

Installation Instructions

This mod requires Forge, Player API and Player Render API.
Go to your search bar, type %appdata% and hit enter.
When inside the Roaming folder, go inside the .minecraft folder.
From there, go to the bin folder and open minecraft.jar file with WinRAR or another program that can open it.
Open your Minecraft.jar with a program like WinRaR and remove the META-INF folder.
Put the files from Forge, Player API and Player Render into your minecraft.jar file (in order of Forge first, Player API and Render Player API second).
