why

T'was a joke, I believe.

Also the reason why it's over-hyped is because everyone got excited when the first iteration of the mod came out, and it had all the features people were promised. I have to admit, it was a fun mod back in 1.4 and 1.5 beta. Nowadays, I might try to do multiplayer with my cousins, but not much more than that. There are many mods today that add realms just as big as the Aether, like Twilight Forest.

Snapshot 13w09b came out today. Ton of bug fixes, and addition of /effect. So basically, that whole feature where you can customize beacons to give special effects they normally can't just got a ton more useless. It could still be useful if you want an effect to last a longer time than you can set, but it's distance limited and needs exposure to the air, while making that effect... Makes me sad, actually. Might become a forgotten feature.

Snapshot 13w09a came out:

* Mobs can now ride mobs riding other mobs/vehicles.
* When a player disconnects in a minecart/on a pig/whatever, the thing the player was riding goes with them.
* Added Minimum Smooth Lighting option.
* Animated textures now have to have an animation definition (txt file).
* Added HD font support.
* Language files updated.
* Bug fixes.

you're late

Yeah, it came out yesterday. Still, Electrk's post didn't talk about the /effect feature.
We both need to read better, it's 12w09b.

[MegaScientifical]

Yes, 13w09b. Also, I had a thought. I was checking entity IDs to see what might be stacked. The big thing is bats with things on them. Well, Minecart with Spawner on a bat flying around randomly... That could be interesting.

Edit: Aw... I tried to make FallingSand riding a Bat with SethBling's filter, but FallingSand turns into a block after like 30 seconds, so it failed.

oh wow we do

[MegaScientifical]

Oh man, I got an idea. Minecart with Spawner riding a Bat, flying around spawning Firework Rockets riding Bats, exploding in random spots all over. Could be used in a war map for random explosions if you use dark gray and such.

Edit: You know, dropped items are an entity. Special amazing enchanted pickaxe riding a bat? Catch the bat!

5 minute despawn time?
seeing how the sand doesnt work

Still, it would be useful.
It would make it even more important to get the bat.

[MegaScientifical]

Actually, FallingSand entities can have extra data now, so FallingSand Chest with special items in it on a bat. The problem again, though... after thinking it fell a certain distance, it will turn into an item. Hmm...

It's free, but it has a load of ads.
I usually upload to Mediafire, but some people don't like it.
