Compatibility

A the moment the mod crashes with Aether Redux due to an issue on Redux' Side. This issue will be resolved in one of Redux' upcoming updates.

• [Aether Genesis] Aether Genesis Stuff should now spawn properly in Ancient Aether Biomes
• [Aether Genesis] Ancient Aether Log Walls are now placed correctly in the Creative Inventory
• [Deep Aether] Highland Buffalos now no longer spawn in Blue Aerglow Forests
• [Aether Redux] Golden Vines now spawn again on Golden Oak Trees with Ancient Aether installed (Of course this will only work once the crash has been resolved)
