Day & Night - Solar Eclipse
by Westrr
Day & Night - Solar Eclipse adds Midnightium and Lucentium, two metal sets for Fabric that players craft into tools and armor on 1.21 – 1.21.2.
What it does
Midnightium scrap is found in darkness during a solar eclipse, which the mod ties to the day and night cycle. Scrap is smelted into Midnightium ingots, the main crafting material for the Midnightium items. Crafted pieces include a sword, pickaxe, axe and shovel that hit hard but wear out quickly, plus a helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots. Wearing the full set activates special bonuses, and a decorative Midnightium block is available for building.
Lucentium follows the same pattern as a second material. Lucentium scrap is an essential component for crafting Lucentium items, and its ingots are used to make Lucentium tools and armor. The Lucentium sword, pickaxe, axe and shovel are tuned for exploration and last longer than their Midnightium counterparts.
Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Only the Fabric loader is supported, with files for 1.21, 1.21.1 and 1.21.2. The latest Fabric build is 1.0.1 for 1.21.2, published on 2024-10-23. The code is not open source and is covered by All rights reserved.
