* DropTheHammer: The Hammer of Notch can be found in Bronze Dungeons. It is a reference to Minecraft's creator Notch and can launch a hammer head projectile at enemies to blast them away. The scrapped item Hammer of Jeb was a shoutout to another Minecraft developer, with similar effects.

Authority Equals Asskicking has been renamed. Don't customize trope names. Improved Example Indentation. Only one trope per bullet point. Commented out a Zero Context Example. I'm taking Game Breaker and Obvious Beta to the YMMV subpage.


* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The Valkyrie Queen is the top Valkyrie in the Silver Dungeons, and is the strongest of them all.



* DarknessEqualsDeath: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. Unlike on the surface world where the greatest danger is in the dark and the night, the Aether's regular dangers are out and about in broad daylight. There are actually ''fewer'' monsters in the dark, and none spawn inside man-made caves. (Far fewer ''natural'' caves exist in the Aether.) It's usually a good assumption that if you're completely underground, you're safe from monsters. The Bronze, Silver and Gold Dungeons have dangers of their own, but their light levels have nothing to do with this.

* GameBreaker: 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.
** The Valkyrie Queen can also 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.



* {{Griefer}}: Testing with the Slider using spawn eggs shows that (at least in [[SpiritualSuccessor Genesis of the Void]]), it will ''break through every block except for the ones that make up its dungeon, INCLUDING BEDROCK''. Take that, [[VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} Enderdragon and Wither]]!

* [[JerkAss Jerkass]]: While the Valkyrie General is fairly sophisticated, her minions are not so much. They will taunt you outright and [[SoreLoser get mad at you if you win.]]

* [[ObviousBeta Obvious Alpha]]: 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.



* PhysicalHeaven: You can enter the Aether 'dimension' through a portal. Doesn't seem like it fits this trope, right? If you fall from it, you end up in the overworld. Even if it is technically another dimension in the game engine, it's right above your head. [[ImmediateSelfContradiction Except it isn't]] when you actually build up there.
** For clarification due to the world being locked at a set number of blocks high The Aether had to become a new dimension in order to build around that block limit. It is heavily implied that it is actually just above the top of that height limit because when you fall from it you drop into the top of the main dimension at the same distance from the entrance as where you fell.
