I'm planning on getting one or the other.... What do you guys think? Pros: Cons: Which one is more deserving of my 30k?
Aether is safe, peaceful, you can spawn animals, grief is strictly not allowed, you can fly around over islands, there are neat buildings.. Nether is mean, cruel, dangerous, dark, lava, aggressive mobs, glowstone, netherwarts, mob drops, exp farming... o.o I honestly like the Aether, but it's safe... xD Nether is fun, but I don't like dying.
The Aether is mainly for constructing buildings, so if you like building or making pixel art, you'll want the Aether. PVP is also not allowed. You need to be careful not to fall out of the sky though, because you'll fall into the void and lose everything. In the Nether, players can and likely will attack you on sight, griefing is allowed, and it's pretty much anything goes. Though you can exp farm using blaze spawners and get blaze rods and farm netherwart, both very valuable brewing ingredients.
The nether is more for money while the aether is more suited to building pretty unicorn pictures, thats my take on it. :ugeek:
I can know if the Aether or Nether is better. I prefer the Aether because I can build nice things there and I don't have to be afraid of being griefed. In the Nether you can get blazerods and other stuff but that is the only reason why I enter the Nether. It's your choise what you like: building stuff or getting resources.
I don't like unicorns so I wouldn't be good in the Aether. I also like money so I think Nether would be epic.
Nether. Ive had both these features since the beginning of their existence, tbh I've been in the Aether for an hour or two, nothing to do there. Nether on the other hand... Tons of fun.
Huh.... Well, looks like the topic is very controversial. I believe I am going with the Aether because the only pvp I enjoy is fisticuffs. (Which although hilarious for me is just stupid) I do enjoy building things, and hope to get both in the future though.
Good choise if you like things I haven't built a home in the Aether yet because people in my town needed me but now I finally can build in it
Nether all the way. The Aether is not the phenomenal fan made mod (... it's just named after it -.-). It's just another map for building. It will serve you better to build up your own town.
Nether is fun actually. I rarely see people there so not so worried about PVP. I like the challenge of finding fortresses, blaze spawns, ghasts and magma cubes. Not really a building place but an exploring place. I've never been to Aether so no idea what it is like but I can build just fine in my town.
Yes, if you fall into the void and you don't type /spawn quick enough, you will die and lose everything.
