What is Shadows of Aethro?

Shadows of Aethro is a Forge-based Minecraft server designed for players who love city-building, automation, and deep survival mechanics. With no staff permissions and minimal restrictions, players can freely explore, build, and expand their own settlements in a dynamic, player-driven world.

At its heart, MineColonies allows you to establish and manage a full-fledged town, complete with builders, farmers, guards, and more. Whether you prefer running a peaceful village, constructing a sprawling empire, or simply exploring the world with new mechanics, Shadows of Aethro offers an immersive experience.
