Line #4 YMMV/TheAether


1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
2	** [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6C446441A47460F1 The entire soundtrack.]]
3	** "The Labyrinthe's Vengeance", the music for the Bronze Dungeon Final Boss from the upcoming Aether 2, is a terrifying but epic battle theme. To say it's desperate is an understatement, but that's nothing to say of how fitting the name is.
4	* GameBreaker:
5	** In the original 1.2.5. and prior versions, the player is able to trick the Slider into sliding into his own unbreakable dungeon pedestal. This resulted in a very amusing bug where the player could simply stand still and whack the now helpless boss to death. The Aether II and Aether Legacy remedied this by making the Slider an ImplacableMan and moving it onto the pedestal when it rammed into it, respectively.
6	** The Valkyrie Queen can be defeated rather embarassingly easily if you have the Hammer of Notch. Spam clicking the hammer will cause its area of effect to hit her no matter where she teleports, and regardless of whether or not she is invisible.
7	* MemeticMutation: The Aether portal. During the mod's heyday it was covered by numerous youtubers who often did not made it clear that Aether is not part of the vanilla game. Because of that many new players, often on the younger side, tried to get into the Aether by building the glowstone portal, and obviously ends up with an empty frame with water spilling off it. Years later players reminiscent about their childhood naivety and memes about their failed portals.
8	* NightmareFuel:
9	** The Slider. It NEVER STOPS CHASING YOU.
10	** The Sentry Guardian's mooks in ''The Aether 2'' have a variation that causes the Nausea effect and makes it so you literally cannot look away.
11	** In ''The Aether 2'', Zephyrs are smaller and only hover over land. Mostly a good thing, considering how annoying they were before. But if they spawn at night, they are dark versions that fire explosive charges of lightning. Even worse, they can live in daylight, so if you've been in the Aether for more than a day, you can get ganged up on by day and night Zephyrs. The ParanoiaFuel is [[Franchise/StarWars strong with this one.]] Oh, and the night versions are called "Tempests".
12	* ObviousBeta: As Aether 1.02 was only released for Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 and development of the Aether was put on hiatus until a Minecraft 1.0.0 release, Aether 1.03 only resumed development after Minecraft 1.0.0 was released ''and'' the other mods that the Aether depended on were updated to support Minecraft 1.0.0 as well. Aether 1.03 had to fundamentally rewrite large areas of long derelict Aether code to support the many differences between Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 and Minecraft 1.0.0. The project was aiming for a Christmas 2011 release, but there was too little time, and it was released as Christmas Day was already well underway in most of the world. The result was extremely buggy and crash-prone. And some of the bugs were {{Game Breaking Bug}}s, such as skyroot trees not dropping saplings and therefore being unfarmable in survival mode. Aether 1.04 was primarily a bugfix of the bugs introduced into Aether 1.03.
13	* OnceOriginalNowCommon: Despite being one of the bigger talked about mods back in the day, progression in modding tools and more accessibility has made the Aether seem rather bland and generic compared to more ambitious dimension mods such as the Betweenlands.
14	* TheScrappy: Zephyrs are generally hated amongst the community. Try to find a person who's dealt with them who DOESN'T think they're annoying. YOU WILL FAIL.
