Blood Moon: Night Hunt
by Zadko
Blood Moon: Night Hunt makes the nights of Minecraft more dangerous, with cursed enemies, weapons and charms that appear only during the event.
What it does
The Blood Moon starts on its own after several in-game days, and the night that follows becomes much more dangerous. Hostile mobs grow stronger, gain extra effects, and special Blood Moon mobs appear near players. Among them is a fast, aggressive creature that hunts players during these nights, and a cursed version of the undead that is tougher than the normal zombie.
Rare materials from Blood Moon nights, such as Blood Shards, Cursed Bones, dark bone filled with Blood Moon energy and sharp claws, are drawn from drops and loot. They are used in special recipes for Blood Moon equipment, fast weapons, and a special food item. The event needs no commands and runs with the game as it is, while the protective charm can sometimes delay the next Blood Moon to give players more time to prepare. Fabric is the only loader, and the mod is released under the MIT License but is not open source.
