What is The Aether?
Same as in the All the Mods 10 7.0 guide
This pack includes The Aether, version 1.5.10, as the NeoForge build for Minecraft 1.21.1. It has been part of the pack for several updates, so it's a settled part of the lineup.[1]
Unverified What the mod adds, who it is best suited for, and how it fits into this pack's progression could not be confirmed from the available sources, so those details are left out of this overview for now.
How do you get started with The Aether?
4 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10 7.0 guide
Welcome to the sky! This section covers the first things worth crafting once you start playing with The Aether in this pack. Each recipe card below shows the exact in-pack recipe, so you can see what this pack actually uses.[2]
Your first tools
Start with Skyroot gear. The Skyroot Axe is the first tool to make, and a Skyroot Bucket is also crafted from Skyroot materials.[2]

Once you're mining Holystone, upgrade to Holystone tools. Grab the Holystone Pickaxe first, then the Holystone Sword, Holystone Axe and Holystone Shovel as you need them. Holystone matters beyond tools too: the Altar, Freezer and Incubator recipes all use it, so keep a good stack.[2]

Light and a place to sleep
Make some Ambrosium Torch next. They light up your base, and you'll need them later for the Incubator.[2]

A Skyroot Bed is a nice early craft too. The mod even has an advancement for finally sleeping in the Aether.[2][3]

Your first workstations
The Altar needs Zanite, so it's your goal once you find a Zanite Gemstone. It's worth it: you use the Altar to obtain Enchanted Gravitite, which leads to the Gravitite gear.[2][3]
The Freezer works with Icestone. One of its uses is freezing accessories, which even earns you an advancement.[2][3]
Crafting Shaped
Recipe id: aether:freezer
The Incubator builds on the Ambrosium Torch you made earlier, so craft it once your torches are sorted.[2]
Early accessories
The Aether adds an accessories button to your inventory and creative menus. Cheap first accessories to fill those slots include Leather Gloves, Iron Gloves and Golden Gloves.[2][3]

How does The Aether work?
7 parts
In this pack, The Aether works mostly through recipes rather than power or fluid networks. The mod has its own recipe types, ordinary cooking and stonecutting, and a set of Create recipes that the pack adds or changes. Here is how those pieces fit together.[4]
The mod's own recipe types
The recipe dump shows two Aether-specific types: aether:enchanting, with 9 recipes, and aether:freezing. The mod also has an Altar, a Freezer and an Incubator block. Two advancements point at the first two: you use an Altar to obtain Enchanted Gravitite, and you use a Freezer and Icestone to freeze an accessory.[4][5]
Freezing is the simpler one to see in action. A Cold Aercloud turns into a Blue Aercloud, the bouncy cloud that one advancement asks you to bounce on.[4][5]
The enchanting type also covers the music discs. The Blue Music Disc accepts any disc from a tag the mod defines, while the Sepia Music Disc needs one specific vanilla disc.[4]
Enchanting (aether)
- any accepted music disc
Recipe id: aether:aether_tune_enchanting
Vanilla cooking also makes a music disc. Smelting turns a different vanilla disc into the Blackened Music Disc.[4]
Ambrosium processing
Ambrosium Ore gives one Ambrosium Shard in either a furnace or a blast furnace. A Block of Ambrosium breaks back down into 9 shards.[4]
Crafting Shapeless
Recipe id: aether:ambrosium_shard_from_ambrosium_block
Create crushing does better than the furnace. The pack changed this recipe so the ore gives 2 shards, plus Holystone and a Nugget of Experience.[4]
Crushing (create)
Recipe id: create:crushing/compat/aether/ambrosium_ore
Create compatibility
The pack also changed two Create recipes for Aether terrain. Pressing Aether Dirt makes an Aether Dirt Path. Filling Aether Dirt with 500 of water makes an Aether Grass Block.[4]
Filling (create)
Recipe id: create:filling/compat/aether/aether_grass_block
The pack adds 13 Create cutting recipes for Skyroot wood. Two examples are turning a Skyroot Log into a Stripped Skyroot Log and turning Skyroot Planks into a Skyroot Button.[4]
Cutting (create)
Recipe id: create:cutting/runtime_generated/compat/aether/skyroot_log_to_stripped_skyroot_log
Cutting (create)
Recipe id: create:cutting/runtime_generated/compat/aether/skyroot_planks_to_skyroot_button
Crafting versus stonecutting
Crafting and stonecutting can give different amounts from the same Aerogel, so compare them before you cut. The Aerogel Slab and Aerogel Stairs recipes below show the difference. The mod has 40 stonecutting recipes in total.[4]
Crafting Shaped
Recipe id: aether:aerogel_slab
Gear upgrades
Netherite Gloves come from a smithing upgrade of Diamond Gloves, and the pack changed that recipe. The sources do not say what differs from the mod default.[4]
Smithing Transform
Diamond Gloves
Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template
- any netherite ingot
Recipe id: aether:netherite_gloves_smithing
Dungeons and mob control
The advancements lay out a dungeon progression: defeat the bronze boss, then the silver boss, then the gold boss. The Bronze Dungeon rewards point you on to the Silver Dungeon, and the Silver Dungeon's reward hints that a final dungeon awaits. The language file also lists locked, trapped, boss doorway and treasure doorway versions of the dungeon stones.[5]
Config notes
The pack turns off the mod's Patreon message with [[config:config/aether-common.toml#Gameplay.Show Patreon message]]. It also turns off the loading-screen tips with [[config:config/aether-startup.toml#Gui.Enables random trivia]]. Neither changes gameplay.[6][7]
How do you progress through The Aether?
5 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10 7.0 guide
Your Aether gear comes in four material families: Skyroot, Holystone, Zanite and Gravitite. In this pack the tool and armor recipes for all of them are the mod's own recipes, unchanged, so what you craft here matches the standard Aether versions.[2]
Skyroot: your first tools
Everything starts with Skyroot. Chop some Skyroot Log, turn it into Skyroot Planks and then Skyroot Stick. That gets you the full Skyroot set: Skyroot Pickaxe, Skyroot Axe, Skyroot Shovel, Skyroot Hoe and Skyroot Sword, plus the handy Skyroot Bucket.[2]
Crafting Shapeless

Holystone: the stone tier
Once you're mining Holystone, you can upgrade to the Holystone Pickaxe, Holystone Axe, Holystone Shovel, Holystone Hoe and Holystone Sword. Holystone also goes into your first utility blocks, the Freezer and the Incubator.[2]

Zanite: gems and the Altar
Zanite Gemstone opens up the Zanite gear. The pack has the Zanite Axe, Zanite Chestplate and Zanite Boots, and you can compress gems into a Block of Zanite. Zanite also goes into the Altar and the Nature Staff.[2]
Crafting Shaped
| any zanite gem | any zanite gem |

Recipe id: aether:zanite_axe
Unverified The recipes for the other Zanite pieces, such as the pickaxe, sword, helmet and leggings, and what the Altar does in this pack could not be confirmed here.
Gravitite: the top set
Gravitite gives you the biggest lineup: Gravitite Pickaxe, Gravitite Axe, Gravitite Shovel, Gravitite Hoe and Gravitite Sword, plus a full armor set with Gravitite Helmet, Gravitite Chestplate, Gravitite Leggings, Gravitite Boots and even Gravitite Gloves. All of them need processed Gravitite rather than the raw material.[2]

Recipe id: aether:gravitite_chestplate
Unverified How you process Gravitite and how each tier's stats compare in this pack could not be confirmed from the available sources.
Accessories: gloves, rings and pendants
Alongside your armor, you can craft gloves in several tiers: Leather Gloves, Iron Gloves, Golden Gloves, Diamond Gloves and the Gravitite Gloves from the top set.[2]
Crafting Shaped
| any iron ingot | Empty slot | any iron ingot |

Heads up: this pack changed the recipes for the Iron Ring, Golden Ring, Iron Pendant and Golden Pendant. Don't rely on the standard Aether recipes for these. Check the in-pack versions below.[2]

How does The Aether work with other mods?
1 part
The only integration I can confirm for The Aether in this pack is with Create. Both Aether ores can be processed with Create's crushing recipe type, and the pack has changed both of these recipes.[4]
Crushing Aether ores with Create
Crush Ambrosium Ore and you get Ambrosium Shard and Holystone, plus a Nugget of Experience from Create. The recipe below is the exact in-pack version.[4]
Crushing (create)
Recipe id: create:crushing/compat/aether/ambrosium_ore
Zanite Ore works the same way. Crushing it gives Holystone and Zanite Gemstone, plus another Nugget of Experience.[4]
Crushing (create)
Recipe id: create:crushing/compat/aether/zanite_ore
Unverified No quests in this pack involving The Aether were available to me, and I found no other recipes linking it to other mods. Any further integrations are unconfirmed.
Which The Aether config options matter?
2 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10 6.2.1 guide
Two Aether config options are worth knowing about in this pack. Both change what shows up on your screen rather than how the mod plays. Here's what each one does and how the pack sets it.[8][9]
Patreon message
The [[config:config/aether-common.toml#Gameplay.Show Patreon message]] option controls whether a message linking to The Aether mod's Patreon is shown. This pack sets it to false, so you won't see that message.[8]
Loading screen trivia
The [[config:config/aether-startup.toml#Gui.Enables random trivia]] option adds random trivia and tips to the bottom of loading screens. This pack sets it to false, so your loading screens won't show Aether trivia or tips.[9]
Unverified The pack files don't show the mod's own default values for these two options, so it isn't confirmed whether the pack changed them or left them at their defaults. Gameplay settings such as dungeon or dimension options aren't covered by the available config files either.
