The Aether takes one of Forge and NeoForge. It lists sky dimension accessed via glowstone portal among its features. Aether spans 1.0 to 1.21.1. Aether belongs on both sides.
- 1Install Forge for the Minecraft version you want Aether on. A profile on another version never starts Aether. Aether counts 5 features across 10 versions. The Aether lists 10 of them, 1.0 to 1.21.1.
- 2Nothing has to go in before The Aether. A fresh profile is enough for Aether. The Aether includes flying mounts like moas and swets. No library is listed under Aether.
- 3Drop the The Aether jar into the mods folder. The folder may hold other mods beside Aether. The jar goes in whole, Aether unpacks nothing. One Aether file, nothing to unpack.
- 4Start the game and look for The Aether in the mods list. Aether has to be on the server too before it counts. No Aether entry means the loader or the version is off. Aether loads on its own once the version matches.
The Aether runs on 10 game versions, 1.0 to 1.21.1. 26.2 is 14 releases past Aether. Each Aether jar is built per version. 1.0 is as far back as Aether goes.
