Would you Aether guys (Grey Acumen, Firehazurd, sabata2 etc.) consider to contact Notch "officially" to make him aware, if not, of your awesome ideas? It'd be cool to know if he was inspired by this thread and/or means to implement something but I'm pretty sure I won't get any answer if I try to ask him.
I'm a bit disappointed that the images use normal Overworld blocks. Hopefully this will change.
I'd imagine it's easier to use existing blocks to test map generation.
I'm excited this is getting put in, though! So many more possibilities. I do wonder how he's going to position it - as above the overworld, or in a separate area similar to the Nether's setup? So if you fall, do you die because you're out of the limits of the map (same deal as finding a hole in the bedrock) or get transported back to the top of the overworld?
We shall see...
well, do you really think the guy didn't planned anything, like, when he made the nether, he didn't came up with a "heaven" idea...I mean it's the FIRST idea that came to me when I discovered the minecraft hell...!
I would say that a "heaven" wouldn't have occured to him as a proper realm for Minecraft since the Nether is supposed to be non-religious, and therefore not "hell". The Aether, however, is a foil to the Nether rather than a "heaven". Making the Aether a dangerous place allows it to stay away from any religious connotations, which makes it fit in Minecraft.
There were floating islands in the overworld in Indev, IIRC, so this may or may not turn out to become the Aether. Although, the fact that it exists in a separate realm (and therefore demands new blocks to make it unique) gives me hope.
You don't have to be rude. I was just pointing out the fact that notch has not mentioned name, blocks, mobs, or even how this will exist in the game yet.
Seeing as the only thing confirmed is "Floating islands", and there's "clouds beneath them" (look at the first picture), which basically describes the map generation given in this thread... I'm going to say that it's part of the Aether.
If you want to believe he's implementing Skylands (that mod), then go ahead and believe that, but since Notch has been bugged and bugged to make the Aether, and this thread is VASTLY more popular... I think it's a fairly safe betsaid "floating islands" will turn into the Aether.
(Also, if you're coming out saying "No need to be rude", then I'ma come out and say "No need to be Douchey McNitpick on a NAME.")
Tis also possible that it's something that Notch thought up entirely on his own (ie. something we haven't even dreamed yet).
But I'm still banking on it being the Aether, since there's a lot of pressure on him to make it, and if it ISN'T the Aether, one of two things happens:
1) The Aether will combine with this new realm (as their land gen is so similar)
2) The Aether is dropped as a concept in favor of this new one.
11 hours ago, Notch said that due to the response from PC Gamer Magazine, this Sky dimension is CONFIRMED. Now there needs to be a method of air transport, and we have a great place to explore!

3. The Aether then becomes the higher world!

Map generation only has been confirmed. No idea if he's even following this thread or not.

Awesome. Cool beans.
Those are the only words that come to me right now.
Mostly moved on. May check back a few times a year.

WOOHOO!
More people should really see this thread now.

False. He has started implementing a new realm that has floating islands. It may or may not be anything like this suggestion.

What did you only read my first line?
What the **** do you think my second and third line were in there for?
*note*
I don't like this new Quoting style.
And do please tell me where he called it the:
