Lunar
by Mrbysco
With Lunar, the phase of the moon starts to shape each night, bringing timed events that change mob spawns, player effects and gravity in the Overworld.
What it does
Lunar adds a set of moon events that switch on under certain conditions and change the rules of the world while they last. Each event alters something specific: which mobs spawn, which status effects every player receives, or how strongly gravity pulls on entities. When an event ends, the world returns to its normal state.
The mod targets survival and multiplayer play, where a moon event changes nightly routines and can make villages or caves more dangerous. Lunar is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric, and Forge Config API Port on Forge and NeoForge. Files cover 1.19.2 – 26.1, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Bad Omen Moon
Every player receives the Bad Omen effect for the duration of the event, which is risky near villages.
Blood Moon
Mobs that appear during this event hit noticeably harder than their normal strength.
Crimson Moon
Certain Nether mobs join or replace the usual Overworld spawns while this event is active.
Tiny Moon
Gravity weakens for every player, giving a floaty jump similar to slow falling.

Use cases
Night-time survival
A moon event can be a reason to prepare shelter or gear before dark, since each one changes which threats appear.
Exploration and mining
Miner Moon grants Haste to every player, which speeds up strip mining for the length of the event.
Who it’s for: Players who want the world to change with the moon, and server owners who want timed events on a multiplayer server without writing datapacks.
