I love how going to The Aether isn’t “harder” than going to The Nether. This isn’t like some Advent of Ascension type stuff, it’s always just been go to The Nether, grab 10-14 glowstone, and then leave. Because The Aether is neither a replacement nor an upgrade to The Nether. It’s a place up in the sky where you can live peacefully so long as you can brave the elements first, where as The Nether was literally Hell and was literally called Hell until The Nether Update made it slightly habitable whilst also adding in tons of new ways to die horrifically. And again, with the tools, weapons and armour from The Aether, yes they’re “stronger” and “faster” than Overworld equiptment, but Aether equiptment only works in The Aether and vice versa. Yes, you _can_ use Aether weapons to tear through Aether enemies faster, but that *only* works for Aether enemies.
...The Nether was 100% a place you could live peacefully pre-Nether Update. Given how few hostile mob spawns there were, it was arguably _safer_ than the Overworld.
@@Lu_ciernaga Yes, but they also swarm and kill you if you ever punch one of them and the only way to get them to stop is to kill all of them without leaving even one survivor
One of the programmers here, this was a very fun playthrough of the mod to watch! It's really nice seeing people enjoy the mod so much, especially people who are returning to it after so long now that it's out on modern Minecraft. Also honestly I was a bit devastated seeing your items get destroyed by lightning too, that's a bug I've had to fix a couple times in beta and I'm surprised to see it come back. Also RIP Jerald, I might have to see if I can prevent tragedies like that from happening again as well.
@@ZachYohama KingBdogz, the now minecraft Dev made the original Aether, the latest version of the Aether was made by a new team recreating the mod for the latest versions of minecraft
@@zackbauer4562 we're not a new team, we're the original team that kingbdogz was a member of before he joined Mojang, led by the team's veteran artist and designer Oscar Payn, who has worked on the project for nearly 12 years
@@Yufh716 I bet you don’t even know what nostalgia even means. And to prove me wrong you’ll probably search it up on google and try to be a smartass but you have no respect for us true minecraft players.
I love how clear Rek speaks, I am almost fully deaf but from what I can hear his voice sounds clear as well as confident and it comes up correct on the subtitles. I’ve been watching rek for years and it’s the little things that make my day. Thankyou Rek for making such good content.
The Aether is the most nostalgic thing ever I remember trying to build the Aether portal and got very disappointed when I found out it was fake but seeing it so long after that it’s so cool nice vide Rekrap2!
The main reason as to why this mod is STILL impressive despite its age, has to do with just how damn well it blends with the vanilla minecraft. If anything, it feels like minecraft aether update, something that minecraft SHOULD have
@kaejuka6249 Kingbdogz made a tweet about it explaining why the aether won't be added. His exact words are : "The simple answer is it's a mod (even if I'm the one who lead development on it). The longer answer is that Minecraft always strives to do something different, something people don't expect. Adding the Aether to the game would feel like adding something that is out there already."
I've lost interest in Minecraft 2/3 years ago and this video randomly appeared on my homepage, so I decided to watch it. Not only did I enjoy the video, but I was hooked from start to finish. Kudos to your narration, editing and story telling! You are amazing!
As a tip rekrap: You can rebind the gravitite jump to a combo of keys so that every jump isn't super high! I personally bind mine to shift + space but you can bind it to whatever you want I've been loving the resurgence in Aether content that's been happening since the remaster has been released! I've been donating to their patreon since before that and saw the huge progress being made on it, and it's super awesome to finally see everybody else enjoying it! Loved this video!
@@Yufh716 Bro I’ve seen so many replies of you yapping. Don’t you have anything better to do? Then just sit on a screen all day and make rude, insensitive replies to people you don’t even know? Get a life fr 💀
I’m so glad rek uploaded this video, I wanted to play the aether mod, but I’m not experienced with mods, and didn’t know how to approach it. This video shows all I need to know, thanks!
I was JUST thinking of this mod! I wanted to watch a letsplay of it, but everyone else was kinda boring. But THIS is peak Minecraft content! The Aether was and still is one of the greatest mods (especially for its time) and the chaotic vibe of your channel fits a vid like this PERFECTLY!
Rekrap, I just want to thank you for everything you’re doing on youtube. Your channel is so entertaining and I could watch it for hours. You’re probably not gonna see this, but if you do, I just want you to keep doing what you’re doing! ❤
I remember downloading a map on Pocket Edition that was solely dedicated to the Aether dimension with blue grass and everything, I had so much fun in there
Aether mod is genuinely a great form of progression, and i like how they really make u feel like the area is ez with bronze one only to beatu bakc down on the silver boss and make h krep exploring
Just, the amount of memories that come from this mod, so many days watching RU-vid after school and coming across different RU-vidr playing this mod. Just crazy
The Aether is an awesome mod! There is also a Platinum Dungeon on the Lost Content mod with the King Aerwhale boss. Its on a floating island with a big tower. I think its the hardest one
I adore this mod, though I've only played the 1.12 version, my only complaint is the gold boss is underwhelming and annoying. You should do a video on the twilight forest :3
I'd like to see you play The Aether with extra mods for it: Deep Aether, Aether Redux, Aether Lost Content, etc. Imagine how awesome it would be if simple Aether is great already!
I don’t know why but every time I watch a very good video or series on RU-vid for the past few days I have thought about Matpat leaving showing how much of an influence and impact he’s put on RU-vid
The aether mod era was when minecraft peaked. Glad to see new players can get to experience it now too. So much nostalgia ❤I remember watching Pbat's videos of this mod, and a bunch of others. Maybe its time for a rewatch..
Rekrap use this mod with immersive portals i know it aint much but it makes a cool thing called dimension stacking so there can be nether, overworld untop of the nether and aether(heaven) untop of overworld(earth)
I loved this mod as a kid, I remember the final boss, a giant sky whale, an expansion to a ether, if your doing another mod video rekrap, you should do twilight forest, a must play❤
i was under the impression you had stopped uploading completely, i swear i haven't seen a single one of your videos in my subscriptions or recommended in over a year, yet i've been subscribed for a looooong time. just really unfortunate youtube does this so often /:
