Aether
Small underground structure containing Shimmer, Aetherium Ores, and Shineshrooms.
Appearance
The outer shell is made of Cobblestone with both light and dense Aetherium Ores sprinkled around. It has 4 entrances all around it.
Inside, there's a large pool of Shimmer that has more Aetherium Ores beneath it. There's also a higher level with Shimmer-waterfalls dropping into the pool.
The inside walls are covered in Shineshrooms.
When it generates at Deepslate depths, the ores and Cobblestone are replace with their appropriate Deepslate variants.
Generation
It appears underground between y-45 and y40.
1 in ~7 chunks will attempt to spawn a Cobblestone Aether, and 1 in ~13 chunks will attempt to spawn a Deep Aether. The Aether won't spawn if its chosen height doesn't match the right stone type.
On top of that, the 20x20x20 area around it must meet these conditions:
- More than 5 air blocks, and less than 480 air blocks.
- Exactly 0 Shimmer
- Less than 12 Water
- Less than 20 Lava
In general, these conditions make Aether generate near caves, sometimes intersecting them. They're more common than Amethyst Geodes, but not by much.

What a nice Supply Crate in a big lush cave. Hey wait a second, isn't than an Aether in the corner over there?!!
Three Aethers that happened to generate pretty close to each other.
