Main article: Mods/The Aether/Quick Reference Version history The aether II will begin downloading and then minecraft shall run with the aether installed. The version history page provides easy access to information about recent changes and bug fixes for the different versions of the mod. The Greek word Αιθήρ, Aether, means "pure, fresh air" or "clear sky", imagined in mythology to be the pure essence where the gods lived and which they breathed. The Aether is an amazing realm in the sky, as opposed to The Nether deep underground. It's main features are large floating islands and formations of Aeroclouds. There are many new mobs, items and blocks in the Aether, some being entirely different from those in the overworld, but few are similar to overworld mobs. To get to the Aether one must first make a nether portal formation out of glowstone, and place water with a water bucket at one the bottom corners. When you step through the portal for the first time your portal will spawn in a randomly generated Aether.

Normal overworld tools have extremely low efficiency in harvesting/mining blocks of the Aether, so even using your hands to harvest skyroot logs would be faster than using diamond tools. Normal torches and Fire cannot be used in the Aether, although water brought from the overworld works properly. So you are limited to only using Aether originated items/tools etc., much like starting in an entirely new overworld with nothing, as overworld tools are not so efficient. When a player falls off of an Aether island they will not fall into the void, instead they'll leave the Aether and be spawned high above of their original portal in the overworld and fall straight down, so one is advised to put water around their portal or they will die of fall damage, unless they fell too far away from their original Aether spawn, they'll fall far away from their overworld portal. Death from falling off the Aether can also be prevented by using Aether items/mobs that give the player the ability to not take fall damage. The Aether can be used to unreliably use fast travel through the overworld (much like the nether).
