Ancient Aether

by Builderdog841

Ancient Aether is an add-on for the Aether mod that changes where ores generate and widens tree and flower variation in the Aether dimension.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverCustom license1.19.4 – 1.20.4

What it does

Ambrosium Ore and Icestone can now generate below layer 256, Zanite Ore below layer 160, and Gravitite Ore below layer 72, so each ore appears deeper in the world than it did before. The author describes the tree and flower variation as greatly expanded, and the ore spawn rates were adjusted as well.

The add-on depends on Aeroblender, Terrablender and the Aether base mod, and it needs a recent Aether build to load. Ancient Aether is published for Forge and NeoForge with builds for 1.19.4, 1.20.1 and 1.20.4, and it runs client and server, so the server and every player need it. The license is custom and the mod is not open source, though public links to the source code and issue tracker exist.

Two catalog mods require Ancient Aether: Ancient Aether - Boss Music Addon and a Valkyrum compatibility add-on for Ancient Aether and Treasure Reforging.

Key features

  1. Deeper ore generation

    Ambrosium Ore and Icestone spawn below layer 256, while Zanite Ore spawns below layer 160 and Gravitite Ore below layer 72.

  2. Expanded tree variation

    Tree generation in the Aether dimension is widened, adding more variants to the terrain.

  3. Expanded flower variation

    Flower generation is widened as well, so the surface has a broader mix of plant types.

  4. Adjusted ore spawn rates

    The rates at which the affected ores generate were changed alongside their new depth ranges.
