The Lunar Undead [TLU]
by Ali107
The Lunar Undead [TLU] turns the undead of the overworld into lunar variants during full moon nights, and a player can work toward becoming the Lunar King.
What it does
Most undead mobs have a small chance to spawn as a Lunar-Undead variant, including zombies, skeletons, wither skeletons, phantoms, zombie piglins and zoglins. Lunar-Undead mobs are immune to fire, gain resistance and strength buffs, and move faster on a full moon night. Killing them drops Lunar Essence, which is used in several recipes, including Lunar Magma Blocks.
A Lunar Wraith appears rarely and tends to look translucent until midnight, when it turns opaque and glows; that state is called the Lunar Peak. A Lunar Invasion has a 1% chance of starting on a full moon night and makes many undead mobs spawn as Lunar-Undead. Sleeping is blocked during invasions, which can frustrate some players.
Players who build the T-shaped golem pattern can summon Being-M, a boss that only appears during Lunar Peak and disappears before sunrise. Being-M drops the Lunar Energy Core, used to make Lunar Ingot. The mod is published for Forge only, and both the server and every player need it, so it is client and server. Its latest file is 1.1.1 for 1.20.1.
