Versions

This mod is a remake to port the Aether 1.02 to BTA. We have no relation to the Aether team or the BTA team. This mod uses a modified version of Fabric (Babric) and is designed exclusively for Better Than Adventure, a heavily modified version of Minecraft b1.7.3! For more information, join the Discord server linked on this project's page.

Welcome to the Hostile Paradise: The Aether, now Better than ever.

The legendary dimension has finally arrived to Better Than Adventure!

Paradise

Better with Aether offers something for everyone. Whether you like to build castles, explore the land, or conquer dangerous dungeons, there’s always an adventure waiting.

Build with a vast array of blocks and collect countless new items. Explore a beautiful, expansive realm and learn to survive its many deadly enemies. And if you're up for a challenge, attempt to conquer the three dungeons scattered across the lands. At the end of each dungeon, a powerful boss awaits. Defeat them, and riches beyond your wildest dreams will be yours.

Don’t fret, you don’t have to face these challenges alone. Set up a server and enjoy this beautiful and unnerving paradise with friends. We strive to keep this mod fully compatible with as many other mods as possible.
