Aether Beta is a simple modpack aimed to users of Beta 1.7.3 who want to spice things up a little with the Aether mod, fulfilling the fantasy of filling that Glowstone portal with water.
What makes this modpack unique from just downloading the mod and installing it yourself is that everything required to run the mod is included in this pack. This streamlines the process of decompiling the Aether mod, adding it and the modloader to Beta 1.7.3, and ensuring that nothing messed up along the way, into simply clicking a button to download the pack.
