They're Coming
by ZiederZiet
They're Coming makes Minecraft harder as the world ages, with blood moon nights that bring large mob waves.
What it does
The mod raises the difficulty of the game the longer a world is played, so the same area becomes more dangerous over time. Nights can be made harder by a blood moon, which adds heavy fog and triggers large mob waves against the player. Monsters that spawn under these conditions carry higher attributes and show red glowing eyes, so they can be told apart from ordinary mobs at a distance.
Installation requires Forge, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.21.1, with 0.4.3-1.21.1 as the latest build from 2025-05-15. The code is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Blood moon waves
A blood moon brings fog and large mob waves that attack the player during the night.
Stronger spawns
Monsters spawn with higher attributes and red glowing eyes, marking them as stronger than standard mobs.
