The First Aether Dimension
by LNLenost
The First Aether Dimension recreates the Aether dimension for NeoForge 1.20.6, with a portal that can be lit with Glowstone and Flint and Steel.
What it does
The mod is built around the Aether, a dimension that was scrapped from Minecraft and later reconstructed by the community from leftover files. Its author browsed older Minecraft versions, located original Aether files and textures, and recreated them for this release. The portal is lit by placing Glowstone around a crafting table arrangement with Flint and Steel in the third line, a method the author describes as an alternative to the common Water Bucket approach.
The mod has no required dependencies. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for NeoForge only, in two builds: 1.20.4 and 1.20.6, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest file. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Aether portal ignition
The portal is activated by a Glowstone and Flint and Steel arrangement, based on the original design the author found.
Aether Igniter item
An Aether Igniter is crafted from a Glowstone arrangement with Flint and Steel and can be used to light the portal.
Super Glowstone Dust
Super Glowstone Dust is crafted from a Glowstone block placed in the centre of a crafting grid and serves as the base material for armour and tools.
Glowing Carrot food
A Glowing Carrot is crafted by placing a carrot next to a Glowstone block in a crafting table, and it works as a food item.

How it compares
Aether No Nerf runs on the server side only, targets 1.20.1 and is published under All rights reserved, so players can join without installing it. The Aether II is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.8 – 26.1.2 under a custom license, so it covers different versions than The First Aether Dimension.
