by LukeisStuff

Better With Aether-BTA brings a port of the Aether dimension to Better Than Adventure (BTA) on Babric, with new terrain, mobs, items and dungeons to explore.

BTA BabricClient and serverGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen sourceb1.7.3

What it does

The port reproduces the Aether content for BTA b1.7.3: a floating realm reached from the overworld, with its own blocks, creatures and resources. Players gather materials, craft equipment and build with the new block set, and the realm contains a number of enemies that have to be survived while exploring.

Three dungeons are scattered across the realm, and each one ends in a boss guarding a reward. The mod also adds collectible items throughout the world. It is built on the BTA UselessNumerical and HalpLibe libraries, and the Catalyst modules are required as well. Better With Aether-BTA is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, runs on client and server, and is published for b1.7.3 only, with snapshot builds available.

Does Better With Aether-BTA need other mods?

Which game version does it support?

The mod is published for b1.7.3 only, and it does not list builds for other game versions.

Can the mod be changed or redistributed?

It is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so the source code can be examined and reused under that license.
