Aerial Hell
by nicochart
Aerial Hell adds a floating-island dimension, reached through a portal, that holds new creatures and dungeon bosses for players to explore alone or with friends.
What it does
Reaching the dimension and its floating islands opens a set of new creatures and structures. Players can explore the islands by themselves or in a group, build a base there, and go looking for the dungeon bosses that the dimension hosts. The content is shaped as a single adventure rather than a set of separate items.
The mod is Client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 14 release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.2, under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, which is not open source. The source code and an official wiki are public for anyone who wants to read how it works.
Structures and textures in the dimension come from several contributors, and the mod builds on work by other developers on structure generation. Aerial Hell does not require another mod to run, and compatibility with Roughly Enough Items (REI) is included.
