Aether Compat Data Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need Better Combat installed for this data pack to work?
Better Combat is required for the projectile deflection feature to function properly. Without it, you won't be able to bounce back special projectiles during combat, though other compatibility features will still work.
How do I enchant music discs in The Aether?
You can enchant music discs you find while exploring The Aether using an enchanting table or anvil, just like you would with other items. The enchanted discs gain special properties that work within The Aether's sky dimension.
Will modded mobs spawn naturally in The Aether?
Yes, creatures from supported mods can spawn in The Aether biomes when you have both this data pack and the mod installed. This includes mobs from Alex's Mobs, Mowzie's Mobs, and other compatible mods listed in the supported mods section.
Can I use blocks and items from other mods to craft in The Aether?
This data pack adds compatibility so modded blocks and items work properly within The Aether's crafting and placement systems. You can use them just as you would in the overworld, and they'll integrate with The Aether's environment.
What happens if I use unsupported mods with this data pack?
Unsupported mods may cause small errors or inconsistencies when their items and blocks interact with The Aether. This data pack is designed to fix these issues for the mods listed in the supported mods section.
Does this data pack work with multiple mod packs at once?
Yes, this data pack is designed to handle multiple mods together in one world. It prevents errors that typically occur when mixing items and creatures from many different mods in The Aether.
How do I deflect projectiles back at enemies?
During combat with Better Combat installed, you can deflect special projectiles back at enemies using the deflection mechanic. This works with projectiles from both vanilla and modded creatures in The Aether.
Will this data pack affect my performance?
This data pack is designed to optimize compatibility rather than add heavy features, so it should have minimal impact on performance. If you experience issues, check that all your supported mods are up to date.
Can I use this data pack with just one or two mods, or do I need all of them?
You only need the mods you want to use—this data pack works with any combination of the supported mods. Having all of them installed isn't required.
What should I do if modded items aren't appearing in The Aether?
Make sure the data pack is loaded and enabled in your world settings, and verify that both the mod and Better Combat (if needed) are installed. Check the mod's documentation to confirm it's listed in the supported mods section.
