What is aether?

Aether is a Minecraft mod built for the Fabric mod loader, aimed at the Hypixel Skyblock server's farming activities. It is described by its author as a quality of life mod for farming, built for game version 26.1.2, and is positioned as a successor in spirit to an older mod called FarmHelper. The README lists three groups of features. The farming quality of life group is the largest, covering things like auto farming, an auto pest destroyer, automatic pest exchange, auto spraying, auto loadout switching, an auto greenhouse feature, and an auto composter, along with other unspecified additions. A second group is described as visual, including a nick hider, a purse spoofer, and a sawdust spoofer, though the README does not explain in detail what each of these does. The third group is a set of failsafes, which the README says are too numerous to list individually. Installation requires setting up the Fabric loader for the matching Minecraft version, then adding the Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin mods alongside Aether itself, all placed into the Minecraft mods folder. After launching Minecraft on the Fabric profile, typing a slash command opens the mod's graphical interface. The project accepts contributions through pull requests, and language pack translations are handled in a separate linked repository. Given its focus on automating and gaining an edge in Hypixel Skyblock farming, this mod would likely fall under player-versus-server rule modifications rather than a general purpose tool, and players should be aware that using it may carry consequences under the server's own rules, though the README itself does not discuss that.
