Charming Moon
by karm
Charming Moon, a Forge add-on for Enhanced Celestials, changes how the night sky and its moon events affect creatures, ores and players.
What it does
During the Charming Moon event, spirits in the forest appear about twice as often as usual. The magical night also brings out more allays, vexes, witches and frogs. Magical ores such as amethyst, lapis lazuli and redstone produce double their normal yield while the moon is up, because the night raises their spiritual energy. In the rarer Super Charming Moon event, the effects are quadrupled, and players who are out in the magic air receive Regeneration III.
Enhanced Celestials is required and must be installed next to Charming Moon. The mod is built for Forge and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.19.2, 1.20 and 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, and the latest release is 1.0 for 1.20.1, published 2024-08-20. Credit for Enhanced Celestials goes to its original author, CorgiTaco, and to Draconic Archer, who made many other add-ons for it.

How it compares
Sniper's Moon is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that shares the client and server environment of Charming Moon and is not open source. Black Moon is a Fabric and Forge mod for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, also client and server and not open source, so it works on a Fabric setup where Charming Moon does not. Ender Moon covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.19.2 – 1.21.1, and Miner's Moon reaches the same loaders over that range.
