It has been proposed that with an inclusion of Airships, they should be the primary means of accessing the Aether. This method is more plausible, but depends on airships, or at least Hot Air balloons, being implemented. I also feel this makes the Aether too accessible too early on (depending on how easily craftable hot air balloons are, but they shouldn't require too many difficult to acquire pieces) Further issues with this are that it also depends on Aether existing explicitly above the Overworld, which is still up in the air.(no pun intended)
Even if implemented, it should still be done alongside Aether Portals to retain parallel attributes between Nether and Aether.
I have an idea for an airship only constructible until you go to the nether. How about, you build a ship, with balloons on the top. Then, for it to work and bring you to the aether realm, you need to fill it with hot air. Where can you find hot air? In the nether. You could build a machine made out of Redstone and diamond to collect hot air. Then place it in the nether and wait for it to be built. You then build a special holding device to take the hot air into it, and use it on the balloons on the ship. Also, for more of a special feeling, perhaps you can only collect the hot air on normal or hard mode, with all the ghasts trying to kill you. The machine would be strong vs explosions, but if you die, you have to start collecting air all over again.
I am sorry if someone already stated this idea, but I was not optimistic about reading 77 pages of comments.

And what about making speed boats/minecarts with Galestone?!
Like, a boat, with at the end at it, A galestone blowing after you to blow you foreward???? You will be super fast and like 2x so fast as normal boats? Good idea?!
Boat+RedStone+Galestone=Supah boat!!
Rocketlaunchers?
What about them??
You will need to make bullets, but they will shoot ball's likes ghasts do!?
GaleSone+ :GP:+RedStone=Rocket Launcher!
Please reply!!
The... Galeauncher - yes,that sounds nice - seems a bit overpowered to simply be a portable tool. What I suggest is that, if you put several Galestones next to eachother in a fairly linear pattern, each blowing into eachother, the only exeptions being the ends, one of which is reviecing the air, and the other which is blowing it out. Say, you could put and of the blocks that are effected by gravity in the air recieving and and it would go flying out the other end, damaging mobs and possibly breaking the block. Maybe even normal blocks could be fired this way; Firing a block of TNT into a horde of Skeletons, Spiders and Creepers seems like it would be quite fun. Maybe using Flint and Steel on it would make it shoot a fireball? Who knows? ...Hm, prehaps this could even be turned into some form of item transportation? Putting, say, a chest in one end to get it to another might work; prehaps you would need water to cushion its fall?
Hm. This seems like it would be very, very useful. I sincerely hope that your idea of the Aether is implimented, as it would most likely have some very fun materials to work with.
My god I want this, this seems to be the most well thought out planning for another area within the game so far. I really hope that the interest around this does not die.

I don't see why you would need to go to the nether for that. Just use a furnace. You should check out the Airship section of my Modular ship building for more details on that.
Another thing that I've been toying with is the idea that galestone can be used as a safer method of powering Hot Air Balloons, and Ghasts would be able to drop gas bladders similar to what Aerwhales might do, which might not even need to be fueled at all in order to function. (probably have their own preset time over which they will function, and after which they will lose compression or something)

The air in the nether could be made of something else not in the overworld. Like the air in the ghasts' "gas bladders".

If the air in the nether was the same as the gas the ghasts use to float, then the ghasts wouldn't be able to use it to float while in that gas. A helium balloon wont float while its in helium.
Besides, hot air balloons shouldn't NEED a special gas in order to float. They've been using hot air just fine for centuries now.
I have an idea! since everyone is talking about gold and lightstone... why not make the portal out of lightstone but ignite it with a flint made with gold instead of iron! Eh? Eh? :biggrin.gif:

The portals is activated with water, this keeps portals to aether from being created in the Nether. So no.
What about some kind of new fluid, like a liquid light? I suggest it flowing farther than water, and emitting the same level of light as glowstone, but with the light traveling farther. It would also be interesting if it caused damage to mobs from the Overworld, but didn't destroy items and pushed items, the player and mobs faster than water did. Perhaps this would be too powerful of a substance, and would have to be balanced, perhaps by a special bucket that you have to make with something other than the regular iron (gold or glowstone maybe?). I think it'd be really cool if this was the main fluid in the Aether, instead of water. I also hope that there is some super generic block for the Aether, kinda like how the Nether has it's netherrack. It could probably be white or white-ish, and be a fairly normal stone, other than the fact that it emits a very small amount of light or maybe that light travels farther over it, ie it is very easily lit.

EDIT: Also, you deserve an internet, as well as these:
I think this idea is great.
however, some things should be able to be mined via punching.
I'd be willing to let flowvein be mined by hand, but would take about 15 seconds or so to manage it, and also floatsand, provided you had it trapped against an immobile block. Everything else effectively constitutes an ore so I think they should require a wooden tool at the very least to mine. And insubstantial mining should need a golden tool of some sort.
Yes, I suppose. However, the light from lava doesn't travel very far, and neither does the lava itself. Also, this light isn't dangerous like lava is (other than the possibility of drowning).
I give this two blocky thumbs up. This is most likely to be the only mod I won't instantly come up with something better to add (and then ignore my brain and not share).
