Howdy! It's been a minute, but we have updated and changed a few things on the server to make it more accessible to all! Please note: If you played on here before with java versions, there will be some changes that you will need to get with an admin about. Craftable saddles are now a thing! Just f ollow the above and enjoy getting your horse riding on! Server now operates in offline mode! You may now join the server, with a cracked version or not. We require ALL users to register however when you join. Type /register <somepass> when you connect to get started on your adventure! Anti-cheat system updated Nothing super spectacular here, just updated the anti-cheat system. Skin server is now available! And it helps java players! With the server running in offline mode, we had to put in a new skin server to be able to handle java players skin requests! After you register, you can visit https://aethro.net/skin to log in and upload your skin! We are also still hiring admins and moderators. Visit Open Positions - Aethro for details.

We have installed slimefun on the server, opening a whole new world of possibilities for fun! By typing /sf guide you can get the new craft able items, and when you unlock them it will show you what you need to create it! Cheers and enjoy!

A few bugs and fixes were add. However, a new command was added called /res toggle townborder which allows you to see the Town Border 🙂 Cheers and enjoy!

Today, we added Villager Market to the server, giving your Towns a great way to provide income to your citizens, or yourself I don't judge. Along with this, @Jac Sarte also built a nice little marketplace at the spawn point which has a few villagers for players to rent out and sell to people! Pictures of what it looked like as he built it is included in this post, along with the final look 🙂 Each store front is 500 per 7 days, or you can purchase a village shop for yourself for 200 and put it in your own town! Cheers.

The following addons have been added to The Forgotten! Player Auctions are now a thing in the world! You can access the menu by typing /pa help to get a list of commands! Trading has been readded to the world after a fun little glitch made it impossible to split stacks! You can trade with people by typing /trade <player> and them either clicking accept or doing /trade accept!

Lately in our path to adding more fun and quality of life additions to The Forgotten, we have added in two new systems! One is honey pistons, and the other is honeyXP bottles. Honey Pistons allows you to create sticky pistons but with just honey. Allowing for players to create new machines without having to go hunt down slimes. It just requires one bottle of honey and a piston to create. Honey XP bottles lets you save up XP, just in case you decide to drop dead somewhere out there in the wilds! To create honeyXP bottles, you will need to have a lightning rod attached to a block of lapis. Just take out your honey bottle, use it on the lightning rod and bam! Saved up XP. We continue to look for new addons that will expand on our adventures, and create more of a fun atmosphere for our players. If you have suggestions, please feel free to drop them off in https://www.aethro.net/forums/forum/11-suggestions-ideas/ or visit us in discord to discuss it. Save travels out there!

After a bit of searching, we are pleased and tickled pink to be welcoming Zuri Morningstar to the Estate team! Zuri comes with energy and ideas to get our resort ready for your visits, and making sure you have a good time. She is skilled in the principles of administration and management in the service industry, including strategic planning, production methods, human resources, and the coordination of people and resources. If you see Zuri roaming around please make sure to say hi!

Happy Friday all! I have updated the rules channel to actually be a bit more expanded besides just saying "Don't do this" and included rules for each property we have at this time. I also edited a few things with the backend code for the announcements to the website, twitter, facebook and discord...so that's why there is this news article lol. So um...cheers and what not! And see you on the flip side.

The following was changed in The Forgotten: You can now chop down entire trees by destroying the base block! (Must use an axe) Leaves will now quickly despawn when the tree they're attached to is broken. Turrets are being added to the world! They are being tested, but it will be added to the spawn area for purchase. Multiverse has been added! We are still working on the creation of portals and what worlds to be connected. There is a portal in Kalismor that leads to a test world that is so far just ice. Pronouns can now be set! They will soon be shown in chat as well. You can type /pronouns to set yours. New food types have been added! Enjoy your hamburger. When you leave your town, there will be 20 seconds of protection to make sure you are not ganked. Geyser has been updated to the latest version for bedrock players. The world now only needs 20% of the players online to sleep. If less than that does not sleep, then night will remain. You will also fully heal when sleeping.

Today, I did some work on the backend and some of the front end things with our discord server and website. Discord Changes Removed Dev Trackers category. The system was being clunky and with other projects going on, it has been removed for the time being. Removed Gold and Silver subscription tiers. These were just for fun and testing, nothing was actually done with them so just removed it to clean up the channels list. Added in GTAV RP category for the new fiveM server. This includes a new chat room and voice chat. Added GTA Staff system for warnings and reports via discord. Website Changes Updated announcement banner showing we are hiring for multiple open positions to prepare for hiring of FiveM staff. Removed snow effect from website. Removed new years effects from website. Added new area for GTA addition, including news articles. We are still hiring and working diligently on our Estates in Second Life, and working on the Forgotten (they are not forgotten!). This includes new expansions in Second Life, starting with our Resort area which will be opening soon, donation system and continued advertisement of our minecraft server, along with preparing for our FiveM launch! If you have any questions or think you can help us out in any of our projects, please visit our hiring area or our chat at https://aethro.net/chat and speak to us! We'd love to hear from you. Till next time folks! 🙂

With this daily restart, we are adding in Portals for players to craft! This allows you to make your own portal network, which does allow animals and vehicles to pass through, to connect regions you just can't get too by train or foot! For details on how it works, you can visit our page about it: Portal system - Aethro See you around the mines!

Howdy folks! The following has been added to the server: Biome Compass You can now craft a compass that will point you in the direction of the biome you are looking for! More more randomly hunting around the world to find it, let the compass be your guide! The biome compass requires the following items: 1 Water Bucket 1 Lava Bucket 1 Dirt 1 Stone 1 Netherrack 1 End Stone 1 Snowball 1 Poppy 1 Compass You may also purchase one at the spawn point for 10 diamonds from the Lead Shop. Once you have it crafted, or purchased, just right click on it, choose the biome you want, and it will find it for you! Activity Rewards are coming! Daily login rewards are coming! Get some extra Aethro Coins just for logging in and saying hi, maybe some new items, or even expansions for your town! This will be available in the next few days as we work on what you deserve rewards wise, but some are available now! TikTok & Twitch rewards We are also currently working on twitch and tiktok integrations for more types of rewards! More about this will be forth coming in the next week.

During our nightly reset, the following changes and additions are being done: Trading is now more secure! You can securely trade with any player by typing /trade <playername> and it will open a standard secure trading window like other MMO's! No more having to drop things on the ground! Heroes has been updated, to fix some bugs. Towny Menu has been updated Cheers 🙂

We have made the following changes to the server: Updated the server files to build 397. Added a plugin to remove the chat reporting notification when logging in. Economy system has been added. You will gain currency when you break blocks or chop wood. You will not gain currency for breaking dirt or stone blocks...can't make it too easy.

Today a new option was added to the server! Minepacks allows you to carry around a backpack to extend your inventory! All players are allowed to get one, that comes with a default 4 extra rows! Two more extra ones can be purchased (at a later date) in our donation shop, and in world at our vendors. To get started use the /backpack command

Residents of Aethro! Lets get those photos going of your best looking plots! Each tenant is limited 1 image regardless of how many properties they own. We look forward to seeing our photogenic our residents are! Link to voting area

Greetings all! At our daily reset, we will be making the following changes: Use of the /home, /tp commands now has a 60 second cooldown. You cannot teleport while in combat. When teleporting, you will have 5 seconds of invulnerability to make sure you are not killed before you fully load. Kits will now have their armor auto equip when using /kit command. Silktouch purchasing has been added to main spawn. It costs 500 coins. We are adding more signs and shops to the spawn point to make it easier for new players! When you die, you will get the coordinates of your death chest. If you have any questions/comments, reply to this post or visit us in discord at https://aethro.net/chat

Tuesday, 1am PDT, during our daily reset the following changes will be completed: Behind the scenes updates to server code to lower the amount of spam sent to discord staff areas. Updating Geyser plugin (Bedrock support) to latest edition. If you have any questions or concerns, post on this discussion or in our discord chat.

Popular SL singer STINNA was live in Veilwood on the 21st! Fun was had by all and here are just a few of the photos that were taken during the event.

Forgotten MC Ad.mp4 The Forgotten is Aethro's answer to some bordem from the owner! What we have on the server: Towny Heroes Dynamic Map Geyser to allow bedrock players World Guard and Edit Essentials Dead Chest (When you die, it goes into a chest) Survival server And right now? That's about it. We aren't looking to be the fanciest server with all the extra toppings. We are going to be a basic towny server, with PvP on a dedicated server (not a VPS) just having some fun. We are also currently looking for a team to help run the server. We are currently looking for admins to handle day to day operations. They will be responsible for helping answer support tickets and requests, along with enforcing our rules and principles. We will be wanting to hire an events manager at some point but that isn't important right off the bat. If you would like to join us, please visit https://www.aethro.net/hiring/, make an account and apply today or visit us on discord at https://bit.ly/aethro-chat. We would love to sit down and have an interview with you! Server Address: mc.aethro.net to jump on in!

Live singer STINNA taking the stage on January 21, 11 am SLT in Veilwood with an enthralling playlist including Pop, Celtic, Rock and Neo-metal tunes just for you! She has been a vocalist for over 10 years in SL and is widely known for her unique style and flawless voice! So bring your musicophile friends over and join her at http://bitly.ws/yVZF to witness one of the finest live performances on the grid! (edited)

This year has been very interesting for us here at Aethro. We've revamped Dragon Vale to be more in-line with Veilwood and have seen some tremendous growth from that, I started working on a minecraft server (which I will go into further in a few), twitter got bought by Elon and he's now just banning everyone that doesn't follow his views... I mean really it's been one wild of a year right? For us at Aethro, we are continuing to enjoy Second Life and what you all build in DV and Veilwood! It's fun to log in, though I haven't logged in as much as I would like to lately, and see what you have all done, and see the pictures that come from the different locations. I'm proud of what my team has done over there, and hope you all are as well. Next year will be more contests and more events coming so keep an eye out to the notices that come across in our official group on SL, on our social media accounts, website and of course our discord. And if you need help send an IM to Aethro Resident in world and we will get back to you has fast as possible! 🙂 Aethro Minecraft We will be also implementing in a Minecraft server into our services coming in shortly. Technically, it's been running for a few months now but I haven't had a chance to really do much because the holidays came and retail life is hectic during those times. So I will be putting focus into that in January, and more so into February along with hiring a team to help promote and keep it going. Grand Theft Aethro Another game that will probably make an appearance, because it's fun to rob people, we are looking into expanding into the world of FiveM the GTAV multiplayer expansion. I'm not sure if we will, but it's something I am looking into because of specific reasons I will get into if we actually go that way. In the end, it's going to be a good year for Aethro next year, just as it has this year and we hope you all will join us in the fun! Also...all current residents of Aethro Estate will be getting a Christmas gift on xmas, just as a way to say "Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays". 🙂 ~ Zack
