Frequently asked questions

  1. Do The Aether and The Undergarden work side by side?

    Yes, on the 3 game versions that carry both, and only when the loader matches for each. 1.21.1 is the newest of those. They overlap in what they do, so expect two ways to reach the same result.

  2. Which one asks less of me, The Aether or The Undergarden?

    The Aether is rated the lighter of the two.

  3. Which loaders do they cover?

    The Aether builds for Forge and NeoForge and The Undergarden for Forge and NeoForge. That is the same list on both sides. A jar is built per loader, so the profile you start decides what you can use.
