*The camera pans over a blocky horizon, settling on a luminous glowstone frame pulsing in the night. You stand before it, bucket in hand, as water cascades into the stone. A blinding azure light erupts, swallowing the screen. When vision returns, the world has shifted: blue grass sways under a cloudless sky. Giant whales glide silently overhead, and winged pigs trot nearby. You strike a torch, but it dies instantly. Lava in your bucket hardens into translucent aerogel. The air is crisp, cold, and alien. You are the first to witness this paradise. You name it... **The Aether!** The adventure begins.*
