...I think a great way to get from up to down would be to make the player craft a balloon with hard to find resources. Much more sensible than more portals.

EDIT: Perhaps a new block could be the lowest portion of every island, which explains why they float? Skyblock?
If it's possible, introducing 'density properties' to the materials would be great. Wood floats, stone sinks - that kind of thing.

Fuck that, Notch should just ask those guys if he can add the Aether officially.
Frankly, This.
The aether is looking like an amazing mod and no offense but, these guys are obviously putting a lot of work in to it, more than Mojang have and probably more than Mojang will.

If Notch did this like it was done in a mod <url=http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/194948-coming-soon-the-aether-collab-king-kodaichi-shockah/#p3050166>here, everything would turn out better.





Edit: <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/Yokai>Yokai beat me to it, guess I should have posted this before going AFK for 10 mins

Ah, I was ninja'd.

Yeah, I have a feeling that mod is the reason he's announced it. I'm actually a bit surprised he doesn't mention it. There's no way he doesn't know about it...

It seems that Notch literally cannot win here.

Makes the mod official?
OH WOW JUST USING MODS NOW NOTCH? YOU LAZY BASTARD!

Doesn't use the mod, and instead makes his own version?
WHY ARE YOU NOT USING THE MOD THE MOD IS BETTER STOP RIPPING OFF THEIR IDEAS NOTCH!

Decides to just not incorporate sky worlds?
WHY ARE YOU NOT PUTTING THESE IN NOTCH WHY ARE YOU SUCH A LAZY GIT THESE WOULD BE GREAT!

The man could walk across water, and people would complain about how he's taking money away from ferrymen.

Here's something, why not use this mod as a means of transport up to the cloud lands:
http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/182918-15-01flans-mods-planes-vehicles-v2-moods-sdks-guns/

I love planes in minecraft. They make traveling so much faster, and is less of a construction hazard that my subway system. Besides, my castle already has a hangar concealed behind a waterfall, so why not just make planes official?

And the cloud lands look amazing! It makes sense, really. We already have a purgatory world (think about it, all alone in hostile world, scavenging for scarce resources in an effort to forge some sort of meaning from the void), and hell. Why not add heaven? Oooh, and why not angels as enemies? We already have demon-things as hostiles, why not angel stand-ins as well?

POTENTIAL FAITH PLATE BLOCKS !!!

One can dream. I imagine notch might add something to take advantage of flight or long distance travelling other then the Nether.

Either that or he will simply say "build bridges bitches".

I want to go to the sky dimension on my interdimensional spaceship. Seriously, I wish you could build some kind of "sky ship" and fly around instead of having to run around...

Mmmm, I think it needs a proper skybox and some clear blue sky. That would improve it a bit. Maybe a glaringly bright sun.

Once again the community already beat notch to it, this has been done before.
It's almost like 2,251,281 people can cover more ground than one guy.

You don't even need to say that. The original comment was inherently flawed.

If he didn't "take ideas" there would literally be nothing left to do. It's similar to movies that "Steal ideas". We are what? 10 thousand years deep into written human history? It's probably been done.

The Aether people will just slightly modify their mod to run off the official code and end up with a smaller mod download and less things to work around. Frankly it'll probably be all wins for them.

This looks OK, but I wish he'd just make the Nether more interesting. At the moment, it's just... terrain. There's nothing interesting in it besides millions of piggies to be killed for porkchops.

The pistons that he claims will be added work as faith plates. They fire the player and objects straight up if you position them correctly.

Of course, Notch may decide to do it differently.

Notch - Official Internet Celebrity

I mean, if Notch said he enjoyed some, say, toast, would it lead to people saying "toasts in Minecraft?". Eh, perhaps thats an overstatement.

Also, the mod people are saying Notch is stealing off is, in fact, based off a suggestions from the Minecraft suggestion board. Which I'm pretty sure is where you put ideas that you want Notch to steal.

Alsoalso, them islands look fairly cool. Yet also hidious. Hopefully, skylands wil be opposite to the Neather, with lots of open space and danger from falling to your death, compared to the closed up feel of the Neather, and burning to death.

But I'd love a skyworld. Just sayin'.
