Shadows of Aethro Update - Sept 13th 2025

Chaotic Finds by Jack – Today’s Update

Jack dove headfirst into CurseForge again and came back with a pile of shiny chaos. No new bosses. No new worlds. Just builder toys, lag fixes, armor fashion shows, jobs, escalators, and questionable life choices.

Create Expansions

• Create: Framed – Your machines, but make them fashion.

• Create: Cobblestone – Cobble generators that don’t murder the TPS.

Immersive Mods

• Immersive Paintings – Custom paintings are now in. Jack’s art isn’t added yet, but soon you’ll be forced to hang it on your walls.

Variants & Builder Toys

• Any Lanterns – More lanterns than you’ll ever need.

• Chipped & Chipped Express – Every block now has a dozen decorative cousins.

Lag Reduction / Utility

• Easy Mob Farm – Please stop building lag bombs. This is your intervention.

The Quark Family

• Quark & Quark Oddities – A million small tweaks plus a throwable pickaxe.

• Every Compat – Makes mods behave nicely together.

• QuarkPonders – In-game tutorials so you don’t have to ask “what does this do?” in chat.

• Vertical Slabs Compat – Vertical. Slabs. Rejoice.

• Stone Zone – More rocks, more flavor.

• Gems Realm – New shiny blocks because apparently we needed more.

• Quark Delight – A food crossover nobody expected.

Armor Drip Update

• Cosmetic Armor Reworked – Wear your best gear but look however you want.

Jobs System

You can now officially clock in to Minecraft. Choose from Alchemist, Builder, Digger, Enchanter, Farmer, Fisherman, Hunter, Lumberjack, Miner, or Smith. Earn cogs as you work and spend them to trade or pay for things.

Press J to open the Jobs menu (or set your own keybind if J is already taken). Time to get that blocky paycheck.

Escalators

Because stairs are for peasants. Enjoy your moving block technology.

The Vibe

Builders get more blocks. Decorators get more toys. Fashionistas get armor drip. Workers get jobs and cogs. Lazy players get escalators. The server gets a little less lag. And Jack gets ready to plaster his art all over your colonies very soon.

Sidenotes

• All existing mods have been updated to their latest versions.

• Bumblezone added the Hive Lifeline Enhancement: nearby bees will now take damage for you when you’re attacked. Your swarm’s got your back.
