BEFORE you post something negative about permissions or whatever the hell you have to say, just stop. Already had 34 several people report my thread. There is no need for such a thing. I am old friends with 303, Shockah, and Kingbdogz and no.. >>>>>>they have no issues with my mod(s)<<<<<-- THIS IS MY PROOF! I GOT EXPLICIT PERMISSION FROM EACH OF THE 3 PEOPLE I LISTED THAT THEY ARE OKAY WITH MY MOD. I went on espernet and I got permission from them. YES I HAVE PERMISSION. What else could 'they have no issues with my mod(s)' mean?. So stop complaining. Besides, I'm increasing popularity for their mod anyways.
New stuff!
No more Aerwhales or Zephyrs spawning! This won't affect pre-existing Aerwhales/Zephyrs.. Haven't tested this out yet but I'm guessing that as a result you may get a bit more Cockatrices..
Killable Aerwhales (single-hit them!)... good luck getting close enough to whack 'em! (Some people have reported this works, some report it doesn't work at all.. sorry :/ )
Beds work in the Aether! Use the modified WorldProviderAether if you want beds to work in the Aether, and use EntityPlayerAether ONLY if you want to be able to 'sleep' in your bed (and set your spawn point) during the day in the Aether. This is useful if you haven't killed the Gold Boss yet and the sun doesn't set :biggrin.gif:
Fixed the 2nd bug that prevented enchanting poison buckets!
Aechor Plants no longer despawn! (at all... not sure if this will cause issues or not, but they shouldn't despawn at all now)
First off, it's not fun running around and falling down places and losing your items into the abyss. SPC has its own little 'keepitems' feature that should keep your items after death but it doesn't work sadly because of the extra armor slots that the Aether mod adds. So I've developed a fix for that, which is usable with/without SPC.
Secondly, the spawn rate for everything is messed up of course. I tried changing it in the BiomeGenAether file but strangely it wasn't working out.. So I rewrote the entire function to spawn animals. It works a bit better now. In the Aerwhale, Cockatrice, and Zephyr generation functions there was a 'pick a number between 0 to x, if its 0, spawn, if not do nothing' snippet of code... I figured this was an attempt on their part to make the game more balanced as well. I don't understand why they should complicate it like that so I removed that and just changed the rarity rates for all the monsters in the BiomeGenAether file.
Here's what I've done to the rarity rates:
Swet - 10 (unchanged)
Aechor Plant - 3 to 8
Sheepuff - 15 to 10
Phyg - 8 to 10
Moa - 10 (unchanged)
and separately:
Cockatrice - 12 to 4
Aerwhale - 10 to 6
Zephyr - 8 to 2
Just some background knowledge on the mob spawning:
Okay so the 1st list is the mobs that spawn on any difficulty and the 2nd list is the mobs that spawn on easy+. Each list is dealt with separately so the rarity rates of one could be vastly inflated (if you wanted) and it wouldn't affect the other list. A single list's rarity rates are relative. Think of them as ratios. Now that I think about it i could take the 2nd list and divide each rarity rate (4, 6, 2) by a factor of 2 and it wouldn't affect anything.. but whatever.
So as you can see the most popular monster will be aerwhales then cockatrices then zephyrs.
The most popular creature will be swets/sheepuffs/phygs/moas then aechor plants.
Just an FYI, mobs probably won't despawn immediately so when you load up your world, don't expect changes to take place immediately.
I've also added an Aechor Plant spawn notification, which will tell you the coordinates of it so you can press F3 and navigate to it if you feel like cheating I suppose.
Thirdly, the poison lasts a bit too long for my taste. I've reduced it to half.
Without further ado...

inb4 mods delete thread for ripping off the Ather's code. Also, it's plagiarism because you used adfly, you are gaining money off of something you didn't make yourself. So it's not only against forum rules, it's illegal.

Whats up with the trolls in this thread? He is simply doing us a favor until the next update, the spawns are messed up, I lost full gravitite to poison....

We are not trolling, this member is participating in an illegal activity by using adfly to profit off of other's work. He also didn't have permission from kingbdogz in the first place so that adds theft.

This is a mod forum... there are game mods here. I never said 'I take full credit for Aether mod'... Of course the creators are great for making it, I simply made some changes to it. There are plenty of other mods that modify Minecraft code. You can't get mad at me for modifying a mod.

Can you not read your own definitions? "The unauthorized use". That means, if he has not asked the author for permission, it is unauthorized redistribution of the mod, thus plagiarism.
While I definitely dislike that he has not asked beforehand, I will not take action against this at the current point in time.
While I totally support open source (good on you for including the .java files, bro), you're being a bit overly hostile and coming of a kind of an asshole.
Other than that, people whining about "baww you can't redistribute the code" can shove it. He's not even redistributing the entire Aether mod. He's distributing patches.
Though, since the mod wasn't explicitly open sourced, I do feel you should have at least asked permission before doing this.

History and information:
Alright so I'm an old-time modder. I've been around since early alpha versions, here's my old thread (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/71405-mods-beta-11-02-compatible-teleportsignslightstonetorch/) maybe you remember me..
So I'm back I guess and I've been playing Aether 1.01 (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/495374-173-aether-collaboration-mod-v101-bug-fixes/) and its GREAT! but... of course it needs to be more balanced.
First off, it's not fun running around and falling down places and losing your items into the abyss. SPC has its own little 'keepitems' feature that should keep your items after death but it doesn't work sadly because of the extra armor slots that the Aether mod adds.

Did Kingbdogz ask permission from Notch?
I remember waiting weeks for the update of your unleashed mods until someon else (I think RoundAround) took over.
Also, nice fix for the spawn rates.

Yeah perhaps I'll update some of my old stuff... Unlimited redstone length, unleashed mods... we'll see what I get to.
You do know that King didn't need perms from notch to make the aether mod... Wanna know why? IT DOESN'T MODIFY ANY OF MINECRAFT'S CODE!!!!
Pretty please =3

Anyway, I'm saving this just to re-distribute it if this thread does get closed. Which it won't.
Sure thing, I just hope they balance the mod out themselves so I don't have to keep updating :tongue.gif:
Indeed it is, hope this gets closed quickly.
