What would you do about water or lava flowing through the bottom of the Aether? Would it disappear like it does when it touches the Void, or would it flow back in through the top similar to the way the player falls back down through the top?

Let me start out with this: this is a great idea, and i think some sort of anit-nether is needed, be it like this thread suggests, or totally different.
One thought though... In the nether, there is no night or day, presumably because there is no sky. What I was thinking though is that if the nether has no night or day, why should the aether? Idk, just a thought.

In the name of Sharam' Ha, The Aether is not the opposite of the Nether. I have explained this several times in the last 2 pages.

Your signature made me think of a post-****up labratory, where an experiment to try and breed creepers went wrong, and they all broke out of the lab and are wreaking havoc all over the world.
It would make a great movie, if you made them explosion-proof...
I think that there should be hostile mobs in the Aether. I do like the idea of plain inquisitive mobs too. My theory behind hostile mobs is that mortal humans have no place in "heaven" as our time has not come. Also the temples should probably be made from a bedrock equivalent so that they may not be destroyed, doubles as an anti greifing of heaven.
I really do think the Aether would have a very different look than the normal world, not only being in the skies. The Aether should probably ONLY be made up of bricks not found in the overworld(correct me if i'm wrong)
I shee. Now, one question... Isn't it possible for lava to cause forest fires?
In the overworld, absolutely. Not in the Aether though.
So you ARE disabling the fire-starting capabilities of Lava. That's what I wanted to know.
How would lava be able to start any fires in the Aether if it turns directly into obsidian?
Wait a second........ Are you one of the people who are actually involved in this?
I think it's time for you to actually read through the opening post.

Lava doesn't flow in the aether, it turns to obsidian. And I've considered that it should fall to the bottom, but that would make it seem like the Aether really is physically connected to the Overworld. The portal at the bottom of the Aether will only transport the player back to the top of the Overworld.

This is one of those cases where trying to do the opposite would only be the same. Since there is no night or day in the Nether, there IS both Night and Day in the Aether, BUT because the Nether has practically no light (that doesn't come from lava, fires, or glowstone) Aether will have a LOT of light, and its night will be as bright as day, and its day will be so bright (overbloom) that it will be as hard to see in as the overworld is at night.

The Sentries handle the "don't destroy temples" thing. And the Zephyrs and Swets can cover the "hostile" mobs, they just try to push you around though, without necessarily trying to injure you directly, so rather than your injuries being their fault, what damage you receive is your fault, for not being equipped to survive in that type of environment. (Swets can breath underwater, why can't you. Zephyrs can't fall when they get blown over open sky, why not you?)

you have added sheeps, and pig liked mobs here but i would like
Hows (aether cow)
seems like blue-white cows and they would drop How leather but they are stronger then leather
Unless a "How" would do something useful, unique, and creative, I'll just stick with Sheepufs dropping leather when you actually kill them.
can you color a sheepuf?
Possibly. As long as their pattens are distinct enough from regular sheep.

You're wrong. The Nether isn't ONLY made up of blocks from the Nether (lava, for one, obsidian, even though its only at the portal, and also apparently gravel, though I haven't seen that myself, and you could theoretically count bedrock as well, plus mushrooms grow there) so the Aether can have a few Overworld blocks as well, though not EVERY single one. Probably just dirt and sand, maybe some small pockets of stone, some trees, and then all the various Aether specific blocks.
I think there should be some kind of lizard that can leap far distances and and possibly glide. They could hunt in pairs or solitary, and their skin could be used to make better gliders?
The Aether should at least have three mostly original mobs, as the Nether has two.
So far, there aren't really any actually aggressive mobs in the Aether, unless you count sentries.
Like Aerwhales, Zephyrs, and Sentries?
(and if you're not going to count "edited" mobs, then Zombies with textures of a pig edited in don't count either, so Nether only has ONE original mob; Ghasts)
And for Aggressive mobs. THAT'S THE POINT! The Zephyr is openly hostile, but only can blow you around, possibly off cliffs or the entire island to fall to your death. Swets will try to either pull you off of an island to your death, or underwater where you can drown, but it won't injure you on its own. Sentries will only break blocks you place and zap you with knockback and temporary vision loss if you try to break any blocks or get to close to treasure chests.
There are no mobs that directly damage the player. Why? Because A) it fits the "heavenly" theme, :cool.gif: draws better contrast between the Aether and Nether, and C) forces people to come up with truly creative ideas and not just "Aether should have angels that shoot at you with bows"
Hey, uh, this is a pretty small suggestion, but I suppose I may as well.
What if instead of placing water at the bottom of the portal, you placed it at the top? It's pretty simple, and it'd go with the whole 'opposite of the Nether' thing. Yes, yes, Fionnbharr, I have read your posts. I simply disagree. Yes, the Aether might be some kinda life balance thing, but I think the name fits well enough that it could be considered the opposite of the Nether. 'Kay?
Also, fire burns upwards, at least most of the time (or all of the time in Minecraft :tongue.gif:), and water flows downwards. Yeah, I know it doesn't matter much, but, well, I guess I just like the idea of it? And hey, I might as well.
Actually not a bad idea. That would also allow water to fill in all of the blocks of the portal as it spilled from the spring block you placed, and also make it a little more challenging to activate if you don't have a bucket.
So why isn't anyone taking the mod idea seriously? Every time someone suggests just making a mod for this instead of hoping Notch decides to add it, they get ignored. I say we should take things into our own hands and make a mod.
Is there anyone out there already working on such a mod?

People aren't taking the idea seriously because this would take a ridiculous amount of work for someone who doesn't already know the specific detailed inner workings of the code, and may even be impossible without completely revamping certain sections of the code that are already in place.
Island generation codes would need to be developed, each individual block and mob, all by themselves would take an amount of work equal to an entire mod, and that's not even getting into the Daey/Day mechanics, the Airship, enchanted gold items and Nether updates.
At first, when I entered this thread, I was thinking: "Oh, great, a heaven suggestion. Lets see how the community can plot to spoil Minecraft today?"
What I wasn't expecting was something as massive and well-thought-out as this. I absolutely love the idea, and would not at all be dissappointed if this was added (as long as you can't see the islands while in the normal world, it would make the realm seem less like a mystical, hidden place and more like a part of the world you start in).
I really hope this gets enough attention to be truly added to the game.
As I have been constantly berating people over for the last 2-3+ pages, Aether is by no means a havenly realm.
I suspect you know this.
Yes it is. Well, no it isn't. Actually... uh, look at it this way. The Nether isn't exactly Hell, but it is very hellish, so people call it Hell. The Aether is a heavenly place, so that works the same way. I knew it wasn't Heaven. You just didn't know that I knew. So there.
