The Spirit Of The Harvest Moon
by exoenrgy
Under the open sky on full moon nights, a mysterious entity called the Spirit can single out players, making The Spirit of the Harvest Moon a Forge and NeoForge minigame.
What it does
Outdoors during a full moon, a player may be met by the Spirit, a custom entity that works through its presence and pressure instead of spawning like an ordinary mob. Its dialogue, mouth animation and ambience change through phases, and the outcome depends on how the player responds.
An accepted offering ends the encounter with the Spirit acknowledging the player and vanishing. A rejected offering or a missed deadline lets the night change, and the Spirit turns hostile, stalking players through the dark with smoke, hostile sounds and slowness and wither effects until sunrise.
The mod is a client and server install, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with 1.1 as the latest release on both loaders.
Key features
Full moon encounter
The event starts only on full moon nights, for players standing beneath the open sky.
Offering deadline
Players must bring a valid crop before midnight, which makes the timing the central tension.
Hostile night phase
A rejected offering turns the Spirit into a stalker that inflicts slowness and wither until dawn.
Shared multiplayer event
The full moon event can apply to every player on a server at once, not only a single player.

What the author says
Spirit of the Harvest Moon is an atmospheric horror-event mod for Minecraft based on the popular show “Courage the Cowardly Dog”. It turns the full moon into something players will learn to fear. This is not a farming expansion in the usual sense. Farming is only the ritual language the Spirit uses. The real focus of…
