The Twilight Realm
by ThirtyFangs
With The Twilight Realm installed, a server can turn its world into a dim, yellow-lit dimension modeled on Twilight Princess.
What it does
The mod is a world generation addition that recreates the Twilight Realm from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. It changes the sky to a darker, yellower look, sets yellow lighting, and keeps the time of day fixed so the world always looks the same. Hostile mobs spawn at a constant light level and do not burn in daylight, so the world's general ambiance is the part that changes most. Server owners can apply the twilight biome across the whole world with the fillbiome command.
The mod also adds shadow beasts that spawn through twilight portals and pick a random player as their target. A resource pack supplies the new particles that match the Zelda look, so clients that load it see the full visual effect. The server must run the mod, while players may add the resource pack for particles and skip it otherwise. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the 1.5 release covers 26.1 – 26.3.
