Not at my computer, but it seems the CPA issue was that skyroot buckets just don't have a CPAonFluidPlaced method, nor does its superclass (item and CustomPortalFluidProvider interface)
I took a peek at the CPA repository and CustomPortalFluidProvider doesn't have that method

since your idea is to rework the aether to fit minecraft's new design philosophies, maybe we should consider 'why' an aether mob should be added back in before it's developed
what purpose does it serve?
moas are for somewhat easier transport
aerbunnies and aerwhales, however
aerbunnies are a food source, but what about aerwhales?

You know have the designer role

Not every mob needs a purpose
Fat floating sky potatoes are good

Replying toSollyNot every mob needs a purpose
I would not say that, what I would say is that ambience is a valid purpose
Place's gotta look alive
SollyTeam08:37
Ambience generally isn't considered a purpose, because then everything arguably has a purpose
AzzyypaarasTeam08:38
Sucks to suck then 😎
Monozari08:39
ambience would be a valid purpose if ambience mobs were actually interesting
but they don't do anything
the just kinda sit there
move around
AzzyypaarasTeam08:39
Sorry, is that an insult to our holy gods the fox and axolotl?
Monozari08:40
foxes are useful
to some extend
and so are axolotls
they're not as bad as the bat
AzzyypaarasTeam08:41
I think that this is a simple miscommunication, what you view as an ambient mob I view as a waste of air
Foxes and axolotls are ambient mobs due to their main purpose being livening up the place, their other functions are ultimately secondary to that
An axolotl does not exist to be used as a weapon, it exists to look cute and derpy, its combat capabilities are but a cherry on top
Monozari08:45
Exactly
it's mainly there to add ambience but CAN be used for other things
bats are bad in that they are completely useless
SollyTeam09:34
Replying toMonozaribats are bad in that they are completely useless
Bats are a simple model with flapping wings and an ai that turns around and flies randomly. They exist purely to be a spark of movement in caves. Why should they have a purpose beyond that?
I agree that things shouldn't lie around and be useless, but there are some things that don't need to be forced into having functionality when they naturally just don't
That being said, bats do serve a purpose
They tend to break redstone, especially mob farms
Monozari09:38
no that's their how much monozari would like to kill them factor, not a purpose

You're really selling them
