Solar Eclipses
Solar Eclipses adds a solar eclipse event that can start after a morning and last until the next night, for players who want a rarer sky event to meet.
What it does
When the morning ends, a solar eclipse may begin with a 10% chance, and it stays active until the next night arrives. While it is ongoing, sleeping in a bed is not possible, so players cannot skip past the event. The mod is built for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1 only, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The latest file is 1.1, published on 2025-10-02, and the code is covered by All rights reserved.
