Version 0.4 | part 1
Beta 0.4 - Aether update
This is a pre release, because it is difficult to maintain something very big :)
NOTICE: Loading old worlds in this version could corrupt your world (this due to the great change of IDS in the tiles), I recommend making a new one. As for code, seeing that Minicraft Plus has been changing too many things, Aircraft for the moment will stop updating the base code, this due to the difficulty and time it takes to update it. Also, the tutorial section is not ready, the missing or half-finished features will be ready in part 2, or if it is not possible, they will be finally released in the next update
