[SW] Aether Tweaks
by Andriyko69
[SW] Aether Tweaks changes how The Aether's accessory system and time handling behave, replacing the survival inventory with an accessories screen.
What it does
Installing [SW] Aether Tweaks requires The Aether. Once both are present, opening the inventory redirects to an accessories screen, while the crafting grid stays available in the same view. The mod narrows the Aether accessory system: other accessory categories are removed entirely, and two additional accessory slots are added so a player can still wear a cape and gloves together.
Behaviour tied to the Sun Altar and to time is restricted to operators. Only OP players can change the time, and the Aether time progression is disabled, so the day cycle no longer follows Aether rules. Non-OP players who try to use the restricted actions receive a denial message. A custom XP display is shown in place of the default one.
The mod is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. It is published for NeoForge on 1.21.1 only, with the latest file dated 2026-03-28, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it.
