SCP-001, When Day Breaks
by Zcoper
Day breaks for SCP-001, a Forge mob mod in which the sun turns monsters into harmful Sludges, and the daytime event can be made permanent.
What it does
Each night a warning is shown, and the morning after, the event takes hold. Once active, sunlight exposes every living entity, which then begins to melt and dies almost instantly under the Melting Effect. Melted mobs turn into Sludges, creatures that fuse together and form even larger and more dangerous forms. The event ends when night falls again.
The mod is drawn from the SCP universe, where SCP-001 is known as Day Breaks. Its gamerule permanentWhenDayBreaks, set to true, turns the event into a constant daytime state, provided the event is already active. The event can be triggered naturally through a Trigger Entity at night, or forced with the allowsWarning and whenDayBreaksActive gamerules. Entities in direct sunlight during SCP-001 all receive the Melting Effect.
Requires Geckolib. Installation needs Forge, and the mod is published for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest file. Installation covers the server and each player's game. All rights reserved applies; the mod is not open source.
