I know this has probably been asked for a thousand times, and that everyone is probably going to hate me for it.
If you did a small fly-through of the Aether as it is currently, it would probably put many of the "Is this mod still coming out" posts to rest, as well as give us further insight as to the current state. I realize that you have the lightning bug and that's why you can't release, but waiting out the 20 minutes and putting a 30 second vid at the top would be very very nice.
Let the flaming of me commence!
EDIT: Including why you can't release currently in the video would also reduce spam.
I know it's not exactly customary for modders to display flaws with their mods, but I agree. Posting a video of the Aether, complete with lag, lighting glitches, and bugs would be nice. It would provide a nice teaser, show us some more progress, and it would cull the "when dis reles?" posts by a little. Who knows, maybe one of the modders on here will be able to tell you exactly what is causing the lighting recalculations.
It seems the "this is a troll mod" idea is resurfacing, so a vid would also stop that before it starts again.

If Everyone just keeps saying when is it going to be out or omg your are the best i love you for this mod.
The mods are gonna lock the thread just like they locked mo creatures.!!! only put helpful things in your comments. If you want to show how much you like the mod put the BANNER in your sig.
^ this. If there was a way to sticky this post within this thread I'd suggest it.
@mrkddsmn: The wings concept could be interesting, but it already overlaps any and all functionality with the existing moas. The gold block portal concept has been brought up and shot down many times, even when there was no real use for gold. Tl;DR version of the conclusion: gold's too rare.
1:wings for flying
thats what moas are for..... why craft something you can use a mob for...
(snip)
why build a sword when you can tame a wolf? because they are hard to tame. moas will most likely be pretty rare, and even if they aren't, it will be very hard to get to them without an athersuit if they are on floating islands.
THIS IS THE BEST FREAKIN MOD EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!XD

September 56 2034,The world was hit with a meteor that let out poisonous gasses and every female and male died except for a handful of humans,all of them mutated into horrible creatures except for one male named Steve with only his wits and a handful of logs.....This is his story!
While I like the idea of this a whole lot, but I don't think the color scheme of the aether is visually striking enough; it feels desaturated and bland imo. While the below images are pretty rough, this is sort of the direction I'd like to see things go in (the first image animates between the current colors and my suggested colors):
Yeah, looking back on it I do. Mostly it comes off that way because of the way I edited the file in photoshop...I'll try to redo it to make it a bit more accurate.

That's one of the the older screens, and they have since changed the colors a bit. I know it's kind of buried underneath all of the other pics in the OP, but here's the Aether with its current scheme:
I like it the way it is. The light is so bright in the Aether that it's fitting for all of the colors to be slightly bleached out.
Ancient Greece Realesed their v0.0.1 alphatest With some stuff ... soon v0.0.2
SO WHY DONT THE AETHER REALESE THEIR V0.0.1alphatest !??? nothing is perfect from the begning :S
or take 10-25 minecraft players and give em the mod and if there is a bug they tell .... or something JUST REALESE IT ALREDY :smile.gif:
Some people dont work like that, they make sure there work is ready before releasing it, or everyone will say "Aw, what a letdown the Aether was. =_ ("
Notch is a different kind of person from these 3. These 3 aren't Notch. Be patient and wait. And person above me, dont bump this topic.

I agree with the guy above just dont bother them. The more you ask the more they get bothered
As much as I love this mod and ALL oof the ideas, the only ONE thing that I would change would be the sprites for the Aether Tools. And then I realized.. someone, doesn't even have to be you guys, with all the work you are already putting into this, POSSIBLY even myself, should make like an 'Aether Tools Classic Texture' for the tools. I would love having a purple pickaxe that phases out objects, but looks block-y! xD
Like these textures?
(I added hoes in case Aether versions of them are added to the mod later)
Yes! EXACTLY! That is amazing! Kudos to you, my friend! You made those so quickly! xD What program do you use?? Those are perfect.
In the Aether, it's even worse to dig straight down. Because unlike earth, digging straight down results in fail 100% of the time. Unless you land in a water pool next to your aether portal.
I think wings as a meth od of flying should be added.
I thin k that the way you get to the Aether sh ould be a portal built out of gold b locks and lit with a lighter. Maybe you should have to eat a golden apple before entering or yo u die. Or make it so that Ambrosium ca n be found rarely in the normal world and it is used to light the portal and stay alive for the journey. -- Something that makes the journey special should be ad ded.
Many items a nd/or blocks should not be able to travel between worlds (for example: wings, mobs, rare materials.)
There, I have improved your post by burning it. Your welcome.
I think there should be a way to have a 3x3 area on the back of an arewale to place chests, crafting benches, furnaces, a rope (to tie it to an island), and a way to steer the whale (like a fishing rod with bait on it) so you can have a mobile setup in the air.

I pretty much recolored the originals with colors from the Aether tools, added the golden details on holystone and the grayish details on Zanite and Gravitite (most notably on the swords). Glad you liked it :smile.gif:

SO MANY QUOTES! It was brilliant. It's hard finding programs with transparency that let you ERASE and COPY/PASTE xD Failure Inkscape, haha. You will deffinately have to make a classic texture for them when they come out too! :biggrin.gif:
put it in your sig!

Naw, i think that the current colors add a more "natural" feeling to the aether. If you want brighter colors, you could just edit the textures.
