Pumpkin Moon
by UltrusBot
Pumpkin Moon adds a Halloween event to Minecraft, modeled on the Pumpkin Moon event of Terraria, with swarming enemies, a summoning medallion and a few minibosses.
What it does
The mod brings a Pumpkin Moon event into the game. Players collect a Pumpkin Moon Medallion, found in chests in small dungeons, and use it to summon waves of enemies. The event draws on the Headless Horseman idea: players can ride haunted horses and fight Splinterlings, zombie-like creatures that drop items when slain. Mourning Wood pumpkin minibosses and a Horseman's Blade add further encounters to the event.
The author describes the mod as a recreation of the Terraria event, made for the SpookyJam 2023 game jam, with further event content planned. Witches' brooms are included as a rideable item. Pumpkin Moon is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Its files target 1.20.1 only, for Fabric and Quilt, and the mod is open source under the MIT License. Installing it needs Fabric API on Fabric. Quilt needs the Quilt Standard Libraries, which the card's brief does not name, so check the mod page before installing.

How it compares
Terraria Underground Biomes is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, open source and client and server, so it adds biomes rather than an event. Werewolves is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, Fabric only for 1.20.1 and server-side only, so players can join without installing it. Spider Moon is closed and runs on Fabric and Forge for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, client and server.
