To be honest, I would totally watch a speedrun of this mod.

Rest in peace jerald... You were the best bunny a rekrap2 could have.

I love how going to The Aether isn’t “harder” than going to The Nether. This isn’t like some Advent of Ascension type stuff, it’s always just been go to The Nether, grab 10-14 glowstone, and then leave. Because The Aether is neither a replacement nor an upgrade to The Nether. It’s a place up in the sky where you can live peacefully so long as you can brave the elements first, where as The Nether was literally Hell and was literally called Hell until The Nether Update made it slightly habitable whilst also adding in tons of new ways to die horrifically. And again, with the tools, weapons and armour from The Aether, yes they’re “stronger” and “faster” than Overworld equiptment, but Aether equiptment only works in The Aether and vice versa. Yes, you _can_ use Aether weapons to tear through Aether enemies faster, but that *only* works for Aether enemies.

One of the programmers here, this was a very fun playthrough of the mod to watch! It's really nice seeing people enjoy the mod so much, especially people who are returning to it after so long now that it's out on modern Minecraft. Also honestly I was a bit devastated seeing your items get destroyed by lightning too, that's a bug I've had to fix a couple times in beta and I'm surprised to see it come back. Also RIP Jerald, I might have to see if I can prevent tragedies like that from happening again as well.

Genuinely one of the best play through videos of our mod I've seen in many years. Wonderful job. RIP Jerald

I'll never forget the excitement when i was making a modpack for 1.20 and saw that the aether had finally been ported to new versions

Funfact ; Aether mod uses alpha sounds so we feel even more nostalgic

I love how clear Rek speaks, I am almost fully deaf but from what I can hear his voice sounds clear as well as confident and it comes up correct on the subtitles. I’ve been watching rek for years and it’s the little things that make my day. Thankyou Rek for making such good content.

I’ll drink 1 glass of milk for every like this comment gets

Such a relic. The Aether has been a thing for so long and people have recognized it as one of the best mods to exist in MC history.

The Aether is the most nostalgic thing ever I remember trying to build the Aether portal and got very disappointed when I found out it was fake but seeing it so long after that it’s so cool nice vide Rekrap2!

I've lost interest in Minecraft 2/3 years ago and this video randomly appeared on my homepage, so I decided to watch it. Not only did I enjoy the video, but I was hooked from start to finish. Kudos to your narration, editing and story telling! You are amazing!

i like how modded gameplays + gameplays overall are making a comeback because of rek

Thank you rekrap for bringing back our childhood memories!

The main reason as to why this mod is STILL impressive despite its age, has to do with just how damn well it blends with the vanilla minecraft. If anything, it feels like minecraft aether update, something that minecraft SHOULD have

CONTINUE THE SERIIIEESS!! Really loved you play this mod

rekrap2 is a legend. Keep going with your content. Whenever you upload I smile and have a ball watching it

This mod was my childhood and this is such a trip down memory lane

As a tip rekrap: You can rebind the gravitite jump to a combo of keys so that every jump isn't super high! I personally bind mine to shift + space but you can bind it to whatever you want I've been loving the resurgence in Aether content that's been happening since the remaster has been released! I've been donating to their patreon since before that and saw the huge progress being made on it, and it's super awesome to finally see everybody else enjoying it! Loved this video!

I'd love to see more like this, it's fun revisiting old mods and seeing how they stand today

This Mod Made Me Love Minecraft When i Was a Child.The Nostalgia

*ah was waiting for someone to do a vid on this AMAZING and almost everyones first loveable mod they wanted in actual MC*

I have been absolutely loving these mod videos, please keep making them rek ❤

This was sooooo fire. I’ve never seen a video of gameplay on the aether mod. Thank u so much

Wow, this mod still holds up so well. Thanks for reminding me of this, I’m definitely going to be playing this again later.

i love when rek uploads since hes a legend and he always makes me smile

Kicking off this new year with another banger videos keep up the work

I’m so glad rek uploaded this video, I wanted to play the aether mod, but I’m not experienced with mods, and didn’t know how to approach it. This video shows all I need to know, thanks!

Love your content RekRap! Keep up the great work!

The moment when Rekrap said “I could speed run this game” got me 😂

Love the modded content lately Rek! Would love to see more! :D

Keep up your amazing work! We love U!!!

Rekrap, I just want to thank you for everything you’re doing on youtube. Your channel is so entertaining and I could watch it for hours. You’re probably not gonna see this, but if you do, I just want you to keep doing what you’re doing! ❤

Rip Gerald, gone but not forgotten 😢

WOW MAN GG this Is AMAZING I loved watching this hope you have a good 2024 (maybe speedrun this)

Oh my gosh whenever rek posts it just makes me so happy. It just makes my day. Thanks so much😊

You should make this a series

Rest In Peace Gerald, i hope there are plenty of sky carrots in heaven for you.

Aw, great video!! I'm really liking these newer kinds of videos! :D

I've been looking for a new MC UKpostsr to enjoy recently, loving the content!

I remember the fire dude being much more of a difficult fight. To be honest I remember them all being a lot more difficult.

This was my dream to play when I was six, I was so jealous that it wasnt in vanilla mc

great video rec! i love your content! keep up the great work! (ps congrats on 1.6M)

these kind of videos are genuently so entertaining keep up the amazing work

The one thing that makes me keep watching Rekrap is his personality, I love rekrap ❤

Watar in the nether????

I was JUST thinking of this mod! I wanted to watch a letsplay of it, but everyone else was kinda boring. But THIS is peak Minecraft content! The Aether was and still is one of the greatest mods (especially for its time) and the chaotic vibe of your channel fits a vid like this PERFECTLY!

The nostalgia

In my entire life, I never thought rec, rap and say I’m so dripped out right now 😂

I just discovered you yesterday. You’re amazing man!!

I LOVED IT! This Made me Wanna Play this mod and find another gerald:) Great job

Aether is probably my favorite mod. It would be cool to see you play other mods like this, maybe something like twilight forest

Thank you for bringing back a lot of cool memories

i liked my own comment

*1 Like = 1 Pushup* 😖

It's always a good day when rek uploads. Your my fav youtuber through and through :)

0:36 - That transition got me tho! I was like: "HOLD ON! HOOOOLLLD ON! 😲" 😂

GERALD SHRINE!!!! I love this little letsplay!!!!

I will touch grass every single time I get a like

This is so cool! I should definitely try this myself lol!

My favorite mod! :) You're very smart at Minecraft, btw

Aether mod is genuinely a great form of progression, and i like how they really make u feel like the area is ez with bronze one only to beatu bakc down on the silver boss and make h krep exploring

I remember downloading a map on Pocket Edition that was solely dedicated to the Aether dimension with blue grass and everything, I had so much fun in there

5:05 hah didn't expect that PBat reference :D

NOOO JERALD WAS A GOOD BUNNY :(( Rip. Great Aether Mod vid btw! It's so good coming back to it after all of these years!!

IM SO HAPPY THERE IS SO MANY GOOD VIDEOS UPLOADED TODAY AND REK WAS ONE OF THEM❤❤❤❤❤

You will be remembered for your Bravery, Jerald. May you feast in peace.

Just, the amount of memories that come from this mod, so many days watching UKposts after school and coming across different UKpostsr playing this mod. Just crazy

Video advice, couldn’t see the obsidian armor bit on mobile because the next video recommendation completely covered it. Good video anyway!

this had so much childhood joy in it great job!

You know its a good day when rekrap uploads, just gotta watch it 5 times

No Rekrap, you are not the only one who doesn't like building wooden walls and stone roofs, I too find it weird lol! Awesome video!

do more of this stuff i love watching you do this.

I adore this mod, though I've only played the 1.12 version, my only complaint is the gold boss is underwhelming and annoying. You should do a video on the twilight forest :3

Finally! Someone is finally checking this nostalgic mod out after they released the update.

The Aether is an awesome mod! There is also a Platinum Dungeon on the Lost Content mod with the King Aerwhale boss. Its on a floating island with a big tower. I think its the hardest one

Man some of the older dimension mods were truly great. Aether, twilight forest & that tropical dimension mod went crazy

OH my gosh, I thought I was the ONLY ONE that said: " Holy Guacamole!" LOL!! ALSO, thank you SO MUCH for this video. You answered a lot of questions I had!!

I don’t know why but every time I watch a very good video or series on UKposts for the past few days I have thought about Matpat leaving showing how much of an influence and impact he’s put on UKposts

I'd love to see you do more mod videos!

I'd like to see you play The Aether with extra mods for it: Deep Aether, Aether Redux, Aether Lost Content, etc. Imagine how awesome it would be if simple Aether is great already!

I remember first getting into Minecraft and being really big on Minecraft UKpostsrs, to see the aether updated like this feels so nostalgic

Bruh yourthe best youtuber love your vids

I love these modded videos. Can you do Roguelike adventures and dungeons 1 or another channel called Speshel has some cool modpacks

this had to be one of the best vid I have ever seen

Your building skills really improved

Thanks rexrap for making theses amazing videos (i think we can all agree that we appreciate it) gg
