Agenta
# Agenta
A authserver and skin fix for legacy versions of minecraft.
# Compatibility
Requires Java 7. (In theory this can be built for Java 5, but I lack the build tools required for that.)
If running this on Java 12 and newer, please add the following JVM argument: `–add-exports java.base/sun.net.www.protocol.http=ALL-UNNAMED`
1. As a mod: The same Jar will run on forge, bukkit and Risugami’s modloader for Minecaft versions Alpha 1.0.4 to Minecraft release 1.7.10 (These are merely the versions I tested)
2. As a JavaAgent: Add the following JVM argument: `-javaagent:{path}/agent.jar` (replace path with the location of the agent.jar)
3. Inline/static: In this setup, Agenta is essentially taking over the role of Launching minecraft. Add the following JVM argument and change out `{mainClass}` as needed depending on which minecraft version you are launching: `-Dagenta.main.class={mainClass}`
4. As a Bukkit plugin (Tested with bukkit for Minecraft Beta 1.2_01)
# JVM/Congig settings
Non of these are needed to launch Agenta. The available contexts are
“*” => ALL
“static” => When Agenta is launched as the main class with the expectation of chainloading another class manually.
“config” => Only appears in the config file.

# Fixes
– Skin support for pre 1.7.10 versions
– Cape support for pre 1.7.10 versions
– Sound for versions of the game that predate 1.6
– World savings for certain pre-alpha builds (experimental)
– Forge 1.5.2 being unable to fetch it’s library files (experimental)
# Note
– The same jar will work for almost every version of minecraft that predates Release 1.8
– Any miscellaneous fabric based modloader _should_ be supported.
– NilLoader can load Agenta. (Agenta doesn’t meet the criteria of a [NilLoader mod](https://git.sleeping.town/Nil/NilLoader#:~:text=A%20NilLoader%20mod%20includes%20a%20complete%20copy%20of%20NilLoader%20within%20itself))
– Some ancient versions of Forge/modloader may require you to load Agenta as a jar mod.
– LiteLoader inforces compatibility checks and so can never be fully supported
The Aether
☁️ About the Aether ☁️
The Aether Team presents the original Aether mod! Maintained and kept up to date for modern versions of Minecraft and fully compatible with multiplayer!
The Aether centers around a dimension high in the sky, filled with **vast skylands** of clouds and **floating islands**. This dimension features its own new survival adventure, based around a basic vanilla-esque **survival progression** that features **new ores**, **mythical mobs**, and **three perilous dungeons** each with their own **powerful loot items**.
☁️ What’s in the Mod ☁️
The Aether consists of many new accessible features, most of which are explained in the original forum post for the [Aether Collaboration Mod](https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding-java-edition/minecraft-mods/1275355-1-7-3-aether-collaboration-mod-v1-02-new-mobs). A brief overview of this content includes:
* A Hostile Paradise in the sky: the Aether dimension! Just make sure not to fall off of it, or you’ll end up back in the Overworld.
* A range of new blocks and items accessible from the dimension itself.
* 3 utility blocks: The Altar, Freezer, and Incubator.
* 4 material tiers: Skyroot, Holystone, Zanite, and Gravitite, each with their own tools and weapons with unique abilities.
* The Book of Lore, complete with an entry for every block and item in the mod.
* An accessory system with a unique GUI that lets you utilize the loot you discover.
* Mobs both reminiscent of the Overworld and unique to the Aether.
* Moas: a flying mob mount with different tiers of differing jump counts.
* 3 new structures to conquer: the Bronze, Silver, and Gold Dungeons, each with their own equipment to loot and bosses to defeat.
* Eternal Day, only able to be ended once the final dungeon is conquered, then the day cycle can be controlled with a unique utility block: the Sun Altar.

☁️ Getting Started ☁️
To get started with the Aether, you must construct a portal with a **Glowstone frame** and light it with a **water bucket** in the middle, this will activate the portal and allow you to step through and enter the dimension. From here you can begin your survival in the Aether’s hostile paradise!
☁️ Conquering Dungeons ☁️
The Aether’s world contains three new mysterious dungeons, each with a fearsome boss to defeat…
The **Bronze Dungeon** is the home of the Sentries and guarded by the ominous **Slider**, a creature born of pure stone. Look out for hidden tunnels through islands and prepare yourself with the best gear you can craft!
The **Silver Dungeon** is the beautiful Valkyrie Temple. Challenge the knights of the Valkyrie Order and, if you prove worthy, fight the **Valkyrie Queen** herself. Utilize every tool and trick you can to best this ancient warrior.
Within the rare **Gold Dungeon** lies the **Sun Spirit**, an eternal being of pure fire and energy. He is the God that rules the very Sun itself and will take some convincing to even pay attention to a being such as yourself. But it is rumored he guards some of the best treasure that exists in the Aether.
