New Mods Arrive in Shadows of Aethro Today!

Adventurers, treasure hunters, mail goblins, dimension jumpers, and everyone who sees a mysterious item and immediately asks “but what does it do?” — today’s Shadows of Aethro update is bringing in several new mods to make exploration, loot hunting, player interaction, and general quality-of-life even better.

This update adds Artifacts, Artifacts Merging, Eternal Starlight, Envelope, Jade, and Jade Addons.


Artifacts

Exploration is getting a lot more rewarding. Artifacts adds powerful, unique items that cannot be crafted and are instead found out in the world. That means dungeons, structures, and dangerous little “I probably should not be here” locations now have even more reasons to be explored.

These artifacts can give players special abilities and useful bonuses, making them exciting finds for anyone who enjoys adventuring, looting, and chasing rare treasures.


Artifacts Merging

Found duplicate artifacts? Got one sitting in a chest that no one wants? Artifacts Merging gives those extras a new purpose.

Players can combine two artifacts together to receive a new random artifact instead. It is a nice way to recycle unwanted or duplicate finds instead of letting them collect dust forever in the “I might use this someday” chest.

Basically: artifact blender.


Eternal Starlight

A new dimension is joining the world of Shadows of Aethro. Eternal Starlight adds a magical and mysterious starlight dimension filled with new places to discover and explore.

Expect strange sights, new adventures, and that wonderful Minecraft feeling where everything looks beautiful right before something probably tries to ruin your day.

This should give explorers another major destination to uncover as the world continues to grow.


Envelope

For everyone who has ever wanted to send items, letters, or packages without sprinting across half the server like a medieval delivery gremlin, Envelope is here.

Envelope adds letters, packages, and pigeons that can deliver things across the world. This gives players a fun new way to send mail, trade items, leave messages, or just dramatically mail someone something because walking is clearly beneath you now.

It should fit especially well with towns, shops, player settlements, and community trading.


Jade

Jade is a helpful information display mod that shows details about what you are looking at in-game. Blocks, entities, storage, machines, and other interactive things can become much easier to understand at a glance. It is basically the “what am I staring at?” mod, which is honestly a public service in a modded Minecraft server. Jade is described as an information HUD mod and a modern Hwyla/Waila-style tool.

This should make the server easier to navigate, especially for newer players or anyone trying to figure out what a modded block, machine, creature, or mysterious object actually is.


Jade Addons

Jade Addons expands Jade with additional support for more mods and extra information displays. That means Jade can show better details for supported modded systems instead of leaving players guessing, squinting, or asking “is this important?” every five minutes. CurseForge describes Jade Addons as additional mod support for Jade on Fabric.

It is a smaller addition, but a very useful one for making modded gameplay feel smoother and less confusing.


What This Means for Players

More reasons to explore.
Artifacts give players new treasures to hunt for in the world.

Better use for duplicate loot.
Artifacts Merging lets unwanted artifacts become something new.

A new dimension to discover.
Eternal Starlight adds another magical place for players to explore.

Player mail and package delivery.
Envelope gives players new ways to send letters, packages, and items.

Better in-game information.
Jade and Jade Addons help players understand what they are looking at without needing to alt-tab, guess, or panic.

More chaos, naturally.
Because this is Shadows of Aethro, and somehow the pigeons are probably still going to be more responsible than half of us.


This update will be going live today for Shadows of Aethro.

As always, please report any crashes, strange behavior, missing recipes, weird dimension issues, pigeon-related crimes, confusing tooltips, or artifacts that seem a little too cursed through the usual support channels.

Happy exploring, happy looting, and please be kind to the pigeons. They are working very hard.
