If not, then tell, what is the purpose of images? If they're not intended for viewing, what are they intended for? For eating?
That image was for developers only, just to test generation on the surface. It's a very old image. I don't know how he got it.
New Image: Aerwhales!
(Do note that the Aerwhales have no animation yet, so their fins are stiff and they don't arc their bodies when "swimming" through the air. This will be fixed soon)

Okay, I can only see 1 little thing wrong with this- moas and cockatrices are supposed to be in the normal world? And sky moas are for the aether? I'd like to ride moas and fight cockatrices in the swamp at my house, and then ride sky moas in the Aether. I wonder if you're just trying to get the basic moa done before all of the variations.

We've decided that Moa's on the surface feel a little too overpowered. However, like I've said before everything is subject to change.
We may just make it that on the Surface you can ride them as fast mounts but they can't fly.
BTW. We're making it ModLoader compatible right from the start.

Nope, limited to Aether only.
Aww :sad.gif:
Any particular reason you're doing this?
Because, you know, you can't take mobs through dimensions, and Firehazurd entirely intended the regular moa, if not the cockatrice as well, to be an earthly mob. The Aether already has like 10 special mobs, and you're sprucing up the Nether as well, would one or two (after all, are cockatrices overpowered for the player's gain? No, they add a challenge) extra mob for the overworld be so bad?
Edit: Wow you guys are fast! And the regular moa could never fly, so that fits perfectly.
This is just pure awesomeness . I don't usually play mods , but i'm certainly gonna play this one!
Could you upload like a sneak peek video or something? I can't wait for this mod!
Just had a quick chat with Shockah, and we've decided that that you might be able to bring Moa's back to the surface, but they can only fly in the Aether. You will most likely be able to right click them with a Golden Egg which will trap them inside. You can then go back to the Surface and right click the egg again and the Moa will hatch out.
I would like to see something like Moa Eggs that spawn non-despawning Moas...Either Sky ones or Land ones...
When you tame them, they will never disappear. They're not like the stupid pigs that put in, where you put a rare item on a useless animal that you can't control and will eventually disappear....
It's sad that this whole mod (nether and all) will be equivalent to about 20 huge Minecraft updates...
Probably not. We want every single new mob inside the Aether to be unique. This means that you won't be seeing any prefix mobs (like Aether Zombie, Aether Skeleton, or Aether Creeper). Instead, you will see completely unique and new mobs so that the overall experience feels a lot fresher.

Does that mean you won't make Pigasi and Sheepuffs?

Seems like a good idea , but i hope you'll include a mob that's similiar to a creeper in it's characteristics.
On a different subject , what happens if you fall to the ground? It would be cool if you were like transported back to earth with like 1 heart left.
This is all two epic to imagine, but will this require editing of minecraft.jar because i wont let me get into mine :C
Of course it will. Just check some of the many modding tutorials, I'm sure you can get it to work. Remember, Minecraft can't be open at the same time as opening the Minecraft.jar
Yes. YES! Must murder Aerwhales! Will they drop bladders to make balloons of a sort? And what other mobs will there be?
Fun fact: Aerwhales have 40 hearts of health. Good luck killing them!
But seriously, we don't know what they will drop yet. We have ideas, but nothing final. The current mobs we're planning to add are:
Also, will you have to go to the Nether to go to the Aether, or will you be able to choose from the start?
You will have to go to the Nether first since you need the Glowstone blocks to make the Aether Portal. However, the last part of your question reminds me of something. With the changes we are making to the Nether and the addition of the Aether, it is completely possible to start and survive in any dimension without any prerequisite items. So you could technically start your world in the Nether and it would be possible to survive. Whether you will be able to start in any of the dimensions on world startup is unknown.
But survival in Aether would be possible...I think. Will it be?
Yes, it will. As for the Nether, we're not going to be so strict on adding stuff from the Nether Update thread. We'll make changes when necessary, and even add more content.
are you guys going to release an alpha/beta version or wait for it to be completed and add stuff from time to time?
We're going to be releasing a Beta version when we've got most of the mobs done. When we are "finished" we'll be making an Aether Mob API so that other modders can add new mobs to the Aether.
Look at the bottom of the first post, we're adding the Nether Update to this mod too. All of it.
Take that picture down please.... It's not intended for viewing.

Think I will be on here often? Haha no.

Nonetheless, good work guys! Some of the best three modders working on the Aether means I'm totally going to download.

I was asking myself if this was going to happen one day, and here's it!
Can't wait for download it
Good job modders! :biggrin.gif:
Looking forward to this when it comes out.
Keep up the stellar work, guys. :smile.gif:
