📦 Compatibility & Recommended Mods
This mod should be compatible with everything by default. It's made for use in any modpacks.
However, there are mods that go especially very well with this one.
- Dragon Survival - flying like a dragon through the aether is more fun than building bridges!
- Realm RPG: Fallen Adventurers - even more exploration, skeletons generate well alongside new structures.
- Aether: Basic Ores - even fewer empty areas of the landscape are empty, look for valuable ores!
- Farmers Structures - even more new houses & structures in the aether dimension.
- Farmer's Delight - structures can contain items and blocks useful for cooking, so there is less need to leave aether.
- Aether Delight - makes many items from structure chests even more useful for crafting and cooking.
