Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

Minecraft 1.21Newest
Minecraft 1.20.1–1.20.2

⬇ Download for 1.21 ⬇ Download for 1.20.1–1.20.2

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Adds a resource slightly stronger than Netherite called Aetherium.

Aetherium Shard Ore generates in a very small portion of the Overworld, only between Y -16 and Y 16. It does spawn in all biomes.
The ore can only be mined with a diamond pickaxe or higher.
Each ore only drops one shard, with or without fortune.
Put four shards and four diamonds together in a crafting table, shapelessly, to create an Aetherium Ingot.
Then combine the ingot with an Aetherium Smithing Upgrade and any Netherite tool to make an Aetherium tool.
