Minecraft Forums

This is the biggest project I've ever seen in the Minecraft modding world! Although loads of people say that mods should be added to the game, I normally disagree mainly because they are unbalanced or hog absolutely everything (e.g. Mo' creatures completely fills the world with mobs which is real overkill) but I have to say this an excellent addition and I really do believe this should be added to Minecraft. I especially like the fact that the nether update is being included with this, the nether was a good idea but it really didn't have anything special that makes you want to go there.

Are the screenshots in the OP real? Because that would be awesome.

Of course they are, why would I post fake screenshots? Furthermore, it's practically impossible to replicate such a formation without modding the game.

And 2, it's not the biggest. Both Royal Red Dragon's Omni-Mod and NetBlitzer's Minecraft Revamped will be bigger.

Both projects show very little progress, and Minecraft Revamped proposes mostly impossible ideas. With the current limitations on the games code, it is pretty much impossible to extend the ID limit to 1000 blocks. Even if he succeeded for some magical reason, there is no way he's going to make 1000 blocks and 2000+ items which are actually useful. Honestly, I loved what he made with the 4x4 working bench, but right now it looks like he's just posting ridiculous ideas without even thinking about HOW he is going to implement them. If he succeeds, then he's done a damn great job. But I don't see it becoming a reality.

Not bashing the projects at all, they both look like they would be great if designed properly, but again I've seen way too many projects where they propose huge ideas and never actually show any progress, which is really unfortunate because 1000 Block ID limit would be absolutely insane, and a mega Modern Warfare mod would be very fun indeed. :biggrin.gif:

this was probably already asked and answered, but when do you think the project will be doneby?

It honestly really depends. The reason it's taking us a while is because of a lighting bug which causes the teleportation from the Surface to the Aether take a REALLY long time. If we fix that, I'd say 2 weeks or so.

The bug could take us a really long time to fix, or a really short time. It all varies. Either way, we will still be able to provide you with progress on all of the new mobs, but we won't be able to release it until the bug is fixed :smile.gif:

If you 3 can just put EVERYTHING this guy is even thinking of doing.

We're not interested in the ideas presented by NetBlitzer, and it's not even our project. He's already coding all of that himself.

Oh i wanted to ask? When there will be youtube ,or other kind of tube, preview of uncomplete or complete aether mod? :3

If anyone has heard of two Minecraft Youtubers called PaperBatVG and SlyFoxHound, we are considering giving them exclusive beta tests a week or so before the mod is released just to show people what we've done. They will be able to play it and show it on their channels. Of course, this is if they accept the offer...

another element you guys could add to make the aether not too peacefull on medium and hard difficulty is to add random meteor showers, chunks of rock fall down on the aether and will damage the player :tongue.gif: i cant wait for its release

I think this may make the terrain a little too hard to traverse if you were bombarded by giant meteorites. An interesting idea, but we'll need to think it through before adding it.

will this be compatible with the ice mod?

If they yield our upcoming Dimension API, yes!
