Eclipse Core
by xg3zz
Eclipse Core is a Fabric server mod for 1.20.1 that controls eclipse and lunar events, including scheduled Blood Moons, for hardcore servers.
What it does
Eclipse Core manages lunar events on a server, syncing difficulty, weather and time progression. Blood Moon events run on a schedule and are provided through Enhanced Celestials, which the mod requires alongside Fabric API. When a Blood Moon is triggered, the mod can raise difficulty during the event and restore dawn afterward, so the night has a defined start and end.
Triggered events set fixed real-time times for the session, and weather is cleared before an event begins when the event needs it. Because the mod runs only on the server, a player joins without installing anything, and it also works in singleplayer worlds where the host runs the server side. The files are published for Fabric only, for 1.20.1, and are released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

Use cases
Hardcore servers
Server owners use scheduled lunar events to add pressure to nights on a hardcore world, with difficulty rising as the Blood Moon starts.
Singleplayer progression
Players running a local world can keep eclipse and Blood Moon progression on the same schedule without a dedicated server.
Who it’s for: Server owners who run hardcore or progression-based worlds on Minecraft 1.20.1 with Fabric, and singleplayer players who want scheduled lunar events.
