Holy crap some people are dumb here. This is NOT the mod thread, and they did NOT steal ideas off of our mod. WE used this thread as a basis, and adapted it into a fully functional mod. Please, stop being idiotic and get back on topic.
Also, if you read this GreyAcumen or Sabata(?), we need to catch up through private messages. I have a lot to discuss with you guys :smile.gif:
I really think that if the Aether is added, we should get airships. The server I play on has both sklands and move craft plugins. Frankly, the huge ship wars we have are just plain fun, and the Aether (or sky lands) seems like the only place to do it properly"
keepin it alive anyway there should be a new block that allows the light to reflect it will be called mirror you can angle it by right clicking and using a meter to angle it it can be used as a way to save torches (with enough mirrors from dungeons) and to destroy hostile mobs without fear of it hurting you (for noobs/wimps) and it can cook dropped meats! (first post so dont flame /troll me)
Looks awsome and most everything looks solid hope it gets added to minecraft. also the staging is the only way I see this being added otherwise it would have to many things to do at once. Can't wait to see if it gets added. p.s.
I know this is a little late, but as Notch is promising a Dragon mob, could you possible make a Aether mob of that as well. Or do you need the model of his Mob and the look of it.
What if instead of lighting the portal on fire, you throw a bone through it? A sacrifice to the heavens, eh?
As stated in the first post (Not sure if you noticed, so I am saying this now), You pour water into the glowstone portal to activate it. This makes it impossible to access the Aether from the Nether, as you can not pur water in the Nether. (Also, if you managed to get an ice block by hacking, the New Nether mod/update/addon will make that impossible, too.)
No, the Aether is a Heaven like place, there will be no Evil Mobs really. The most Evil you will get is the PoisonDart Moa and another mob I forgot, a floating thing that blows you off the Islands. It is the oppisite of the Nether, with the New Nether Update, which is going to be a Completly Hostle place after it...

I strive to build a Mechanical Dragon... It isn't going well.
I have a new mob to propose to the Aether.
-Arcs, Guardians of The Aether
-Appearance: A large, pale white, humanoid mob, armored in diamond, with an eye that resembles the Stone Slab Boss in the Boss Tower Mod, it also has the ability to fly, but I do not know what his wings would look like (It would help if you could give feedback on his appearance).
-Spawn Rate: Exactly one will spawn on each island, and when killed, it cannot respawn.
-Hostility: When first spawned, it will be neutral. However, if the player mines on their island, it will become hostile and attack. It can fly, so you can't trick it to fall off the island.
-Stats: It will have a maximum of 15 hearts, and can attack with a damage of 2-3.5 hearts. This may seem overpowered, but there is only one Arc on each island, and when disposed of, you can continue to mine on that island, without a care.
-Why Should They be Added: When I first entered the Nether, I found it bland, there was no fun in going to the Nether. However, if Arcs are added to the Aether, it would give a player a fun sort of "quest"; attempting to liberate the Aether of the Arcs, as well as mining for it's resources.
I hope you look this over, and put this in the Aether. If not, please tell me how to make it better.
Very nice! I absolutely love the concept! I also looked at a few of the suggestions, and it seems to me that almost no one read anything but the title and about half a paragraph of the first post... Anyway, near the third-fourth page you said you didn't like it how the "Atheric well" idea didn't surround you, and how a 4x4x2 square would be hard to get out of, but I am thinking that, as it is too deep to get out of if it is just a portal in a 4x4x2 glowstone frame (Or whatever the dimensions would be), You make it that exiting the Aether put you on the side of the well that was open. This way the portal COMPLETELY surrounds you, and also makes it so that you can get out of the Aether easily. Also, something to real quick think of, have you thought of any noise the portal could make? The nethery screechings don't seem fit... I think something along the lines of a bird chirping, water splashing, etc would be a good noise for the portal.
Would Be amazing if there were 3 really rare monsters that were basically bosses in the aether. The Father The Son and The Holy Ghost :biggrin.gif: ( lol Christian religion reference) Can anyone imagine running into god and god shooting lightning at you? or a 1 1/2% chance of being sent too the Nether by god? Kool Beanz in my opinion although it might not be the best idea :sad.gif:
I mean, If Nether is "hell" and Aether is "heaven" why not add some heaven mobs?
EDIT: in fact. I feel like going in detail because im bored. so if you hate the idea i just presented then skip this whole post and dont flame it. Dont like it dont read it.
Edit2: I'd actually like this too be mod when the aether is in MC. Given that some people would then hate the aether if they are not a "religious type" or other religions
God (The Father): Appearance: A character with gray hair in the shape of the reg characters hair. and a white beard and a robe on.
-Attacks: Only attacks if provoked. Can shoot you with lightning from a maximum of 30 blocks away making this a hard mob too avoid. If hit by lightning there is a 1 1/2% chance of being sent from the aether too the nether. (Can be changed due too that would be really annoying. Up too you. But my thinking is that God Could send you there because you were a naughty person!)
-Health: I would expect a lot given that it is GOD.
-Potential Drops: Hammer Of Notch, Gummie Swets, Holy Weapons or tools. Lightning Knives, God's Crown (A golden Hat with more defense than a diamond helmet
-Spawn Rate: Very Very Low. VERY. VERY....
-Jesus (The Son)
-Appearance: Well... Jesus... You know the brown hair and stuff like that...
-Attacks: Carries a hammer of notch and attacks you with the hammers special attack. Which if you dont know check PaperBatVG's youtube videos with the aether.
-Health: Again a lot.
-Potential Drops: Hammer Of Notch, Bones, Holy Robe (Basically a Chestplate that protects you a lot and lasts for a while)
-Spawn Rate: Very Low. But not as low as god. I dont know percentages for these thins o.o
-The Holy Ghost
-Appearance: Basically a ghast that is 50% transparent...
-Attacks: Shoots HolyFire (A ghast fireball but light blue fire.
-Health: A lot, but not as much as jesus or god.
-Only way too kill them: You cannot attack with a sword or bows because it would just pass through him. You have too hit the holyfire back at them. Burning it and if its possible in coding (if its not leave this out) then make it shrink a little.
-Potential Drops: Blue cloud, HolyFire bow (shoots an arrow with holyfire on it, lighting the mob on fire), Vampire Sword, Golden Cloud Armor (this would also provide another use for cloud blocks... There could be Blue Cloud Armor and Regular Cloud armor which wouldnt be very useful given that clouds are everywhere)
If you like it tell me ^.^ If you dont tell me too, but tell me WHY. i just think it would add a "OMG I JUST FOUND A REALLY RARE MOB" type thing too the Aether. No pointless flame comments like "Thats just plain awful." Tell me why.
couldnt you just make huge 1x1 tower with a ladder to get to the Aether then...?

Alright King.
You've mostly been talking with Grey via PMs though, I just commented on your, now locked, thread as you updated it.
Sadly (Or happily, depending on your view), the fall is one way :wink.gif:

Just an idea! Please at least consider it.
