not an issue but a suggestion: basically the only reason i never used the aether 2 is cause it is so ifferent from the regular dimension mod that it break consistency in modpacks...
things like the special menu it add with equipment and bestiary and all that story thing it's a dealbreaker in my opinion and it's really a shame, cause the creatues are really cool.
the aether legacy also have this problem, but on a lesser degree, and is way easier to fix with the help of other mods.

do you think it could be possible to disable the story and the special inventory and change the items into boubles via config? i guess it would be a huge rework to do
