The Aether is really nice looking. I like the color choices. On the other hand, it's bad that it makes all of the normal world items useless, and that you need an entirely different toolset to do anything in it.
I like the Aether as a mod, but I would never want it to become a legit part of Minecraft.
Okay, which dimension would you prefer: A crappy ripoff of heaven, or a cosmic and terrifying dimension filled with otherwordly and undeniably malicious superbeings while a dragon plots your untimely demise?
I think I know which one I'll go with.
You've never even seen or played the Aether mod right?
The aether mod adds dungeons, new aesthetic and unique blocks, flying mounts, island hopping, and treasure, while the End has...
A disappointing boss fight, ONE new block that looks like a sponge, and a useless dragon egg that's only for decorations. And the End is not cosmic or terrifying. I looks like they didn't even put effort into it,

The End has little more than a boss, which is harder to kill than to actually survive its attacks. If it couldn't attack, no one would notice. Also, the End has only one new block, made just to prevent the dragon from tearing up the landscape, and reused mobs.
Now, we go over the Aether (suggestion, not mod). The Aether has:
4-5 new mobs
Around 7 new blocks
A use for gold
Crafting ingredients for even more blocks
Sentry-based dungeons
Infinite potential for even more new blocks, mobs (Carnivorus plants anyone?), ores, and possible potion ingredients (possibly for Jump and Water Breathing).

So, we are now comparing a dimension which was added solely as the setting for a boss battle, with a complete add-on dimension that includes new weapons/tools, ore, mobs, blocks, and a hundred other things. Gee, I wonder which one will get the most votes.

Indeed, Aether is like a secondary overworld.
With a system of tools a great terrain, many new mobs, and much more.
Notch, why have you done this to us?!
The End placed a huge shadow over Minecraft and Mojang.
I prefer the End. No, it's not amazing, you can't explore it, there isn't much to do but it has PURPOSE. It adds something to Minecraft. It is exactly what is says it is: an End. It's not meant to have huge new properties and tons of new recipes/mobs etc., it's a boss 'room'.
The Aether is was a good idea but I have a major quarrel with it: It isn't Minecraft. The point of a mod, update or anything related is to ADD to the original game; make it better. The Aether completely ignores this; as soon as you step through your first Aether portal, there isn't any point in going back. It's not Minecraft, it's a completely different game that stems from it, not to mention the fact that half of it is just a repetition of normal world gameplay.
To me, the Aether is Minecraft, everything is in the spirit of Minecraft. You adventure, find interesting land formations, basically do whatever you do in the regular land. It's like having TWO worlds to survive in. If you fall from the Aether, you can end up very far away from your original portal, meaning you'd have to restart and survive in the regular world. Then, eventually find your way to either make a new Aether portal, or find your old one.
End. It is a lot more different than the Aether.
Although the Aether is cool, the End is a lot more different, it opens to a new set of probabilities,
and it is more interesting. I know it haves few content, but hopefully, there will be more, it can't just
remain like that.
Adding the Aether would be cool too, but I doubt it's going to happen.
I would have prefered the Sky Lands ( Yeah, no the Aether, that is a mod guys, dont get confused. ) because they could have´d more content and aswell infinite generation like overworld or The Nether, but i dont have any real complain about the End it is good enough, and notch said that probably in the future he was going to make the skylands... if he comes back, obviusly.
I don't even Try to get into The End its stupid and you can't get out.
Aether.. Yeah. It was ridicoulously hard. But i still liked it. I normally would go there and put it on peaceful temporarily until i get atleast a aether dirt house (LOL)
PS:so hard i forgot how to spell "Ridiculous"
PPS: I know you can fight the annoying dragon, But who wants to climb up those Obsidian towers and break all that **** before you can FINALLY do some damage?

You can get out of the end.
You dont need to go on top of the towers, just use bow.
EnderDragon:
go in there
get rid of crystals
attack ender dragon with bow and sword
watch awesome animation
I hate the Aether mod's bosses,i beat them in 3 minutes all together.The enderdragon took over 10.
See what im talking about?
Lmfao 4 minutes to beat all the bosses, it took my 15 minutes to get to a silver dungeon and finally get to a boss, i bet in gold dungeon it takes a long time, but they all seem equally difficult as the enderdragon. And btw only 7 year olds say they can beat them all in 3 minutes.
Neither. I don't like the Aether mod because it should be adding building options and providing new and interesting building mechanics that mesh well with what came before. Similarly, I don't care for the "everything you had before is almost useless now" philosophy which pervades the mod.
Edit: I realized I didn't talk about the End. Well, it's horrible on so many levels that I really don't even see why it should be in the game at all.
I agree with this guy.

Users lack the mental capacity to have intelligent discussion, and mods lack the mental capacity to make intellegent decisions... I give up trying to share my intelligence with the world.
Can you count exactly?3 minutes to BEAT,not find,them all.And flying around forever is not fun in that mod.And BTW im not 7.None seems as hard as the ender dragon,with each you knew what they where going to do.Move towards you,attack from behind,lighting,fire balls around the room.Its just too easy.
At least they make a better attempt to kill you then the ender dragon.
Sun Spirit- Shoots bouncing fireballs, flies into you, summons minions.
Ender Dragon- Flies into you very rarely.
Really, they might as well just make him fly around aimlessly. If they changed his AI so he wouldn't attack, no one would notice.
Also, all the dragon gives you is a ton of XP. The Aether bosses can give you:
-Projectile weapons that summon lightning
-Long-range tools
-Better-than-diamond armor with special abilities when wearing the full set
-Capes
-Extended maximum health
-Projectile-reflecting shields
-Infinite air
-Heath regen
-Slow falling
-Invisibility
-A hell of a lot more stuff that I'm too lazy to list
So you's scrap all THAT just for some XP that, for all I know, could give you worthless amounts of protection against lava?

You can't get out until you kill the only reason to go there in the first place. If you go there on Peaceful, for example, there is no way to escape the End.
In my opinion, having the exit open after the boss fight is utterly stupid.

Of course they're easier. However, there's also more than one of each scattered throughout the Aether. And you aren't required to fight them once you start exploring a new realm. Doing so nets you some great rewards though.
More of them.
Completely optional without preventing exploration.
Good rewards.
Reasons (and ability) to fight them over and over.

The enderdragon spawns in ANY difficulty, including peaceful and you can still kill it in peaceful.
In ALL THE games when you enter a boss battle you cant get out until you beat it, and if you die you restart the battle, what is the difference?
Lets say... Zelda when you are at boss battle you CANT just say " i give up " and the monster will let you go while he peacefully eats cookies instead of you.
The only way your argument would be valid would be if people went there on accident without proper equipment, but that wouldnt happenb because you get to the end you need to do a lot of specific stuff, you cant just find and repair en ender portal " by accident " . If you go to the end you are meant to have armor, sword , bow and arrows.
Aether will always defeat The End in every way if you actually look closely at the two.
The End is the reason we don't have a sky dimension today. :sad.gif:

And that The End was made in 1 week by 1 guy but the Aether took more than 5 months by 3 guys.
