how do i make a gradient away from the canter of an axis like the
atmosphere on a planet or a chunk of amber that gets dark in the middle?
gradient will not work as far as i know

Use a spherical pattern type.  That and others, like cylinder and box have
been added in version 3.1.

For the amber style of density based translucency you'll need to use media.
