They are the best new mounts in the game, thanks to their ability to double-jump multiple times in a row, depending on their color. Players can gather their eggs and use an Incubator item to raise these into domesticated moas, which can be ridden like the flying pig! More importantly, Minecraft gets its first fully domesticable animal-the moa, which looks like a cross between a sheep and an ostrich. The flying whales that patrol the skies firing snowballs at unsuspecting miners are hilarious and fit right into Minecraft's list of surreal characters. The first important and visible change is the addition of some cool new animals. It's a new place full of blocks to harvest, but beyond that, the team created some wonderful additions in the Aether that make Minecraft much more RPGish. Like the Nether, it's accessed through a portal built inside the game, and all of the items acquired there can be used in the normal game world, as well.
The most obvious addition in the mod is the Aether itself, a floating island kingdom meant to be the Heaven of Minecraft, opposite the Nether (aka Hell). It's definitely the coolest mod I've seen in Minecraft, and it looks like everything Sky Kingdom promises to be and more. Please enable JavaScript to watch this video.
