Aercloud is a type of block found in abundance in the Aether.
Obtaining
Aercloud does not require any tool to be obtained, in which when mined, it will drop itself.
Natural generation
It can be found in the sky, even very close to islands, and obviously, forms clouds in the Aether. Since it also may generate under islands, this makes it useful to both stop fall damage and help create mining scaffolds under islands.
Usage
Cold Aerclouds will prevent fall damage, and when standing in a column of aerclouds, the player's body will be inside the topmost block while the feet will be standing on the block below it. Despite that, aerclouds still can be climbed, as long as the height difference isn't over one block.
Some of the aerclouds do not have hitboxes. Dropped blocks and/or items may get stuck inside of cold aercloud blocks. As Cold Aerclouds sometimes blend in with the normal Overworld clouds, turning those off is advised. Sneaking (hold down the left Shift key) will disable special aercloud abilitie
Crafting ingredient
Crafting ingredient
Green Aercloud
Green Aerclouds, like purple, will blow any players, mobs, or drops touching them, but instead in a random direction. This is by far the hardest Aercloud to collect, as upon breaking the clouds the neighboring block will blow it into a random direction. It spawning near islands does help a lot when you need it, however.
Crafting ingredient
Storm Aercloud
Storm Aerclouds are a new type of aercloud added in the Aether II. They have the same properties as Cold Aerclouds, but when there is a thunderstorm, they will shoot lightning out. Storm Aercloud can not be crafted into parachutes.
Purple Aercloud
Purple Aerclouds blow any players, mobs, or drops in a specific direction, depending on the direction the player was standing in when placed. Like green aerclouds, gathering them can be difficult, as the wind push can cause fall damage or dropping out of the Aether and into the void below. A safety net of blocks can be used to counteract this.

Data values
Aercloud has the ID name aether:aercloud, which it shares with blue aercloud, golden aercloud, green aercloud, and storm aercloud, differentiated by its block data. Since purple aercloud is a different block, it has the ID name aether:purpleAercloud instead.
