About this project

What does Bloodmoon Update add?

The Fabric And NeoForge versions, as well as Forge > 1.21. require Oblivious Core in order to work. Those are still at an experimental state so expect a few bugs. (The 1.20.1 version is on a big update right now this will take a while), the Torch flickering is currently disabled in those versions.

Bloodmoon

🌕 Blood Moon Mod 🌕
A terrifying and immersive survival experience for Minecraft

The Blood Moon Mod adds a dramatic and eerie event to your Minecraft world. When night falls under a Blood Moon, hostile mobs become deadlier, spawn more frequently, and the environment takes on a chilling atmosphere. Players can’t sleep, visual effects intensify, and strange forces awaken…

Customize your experience through powerful in-game commands and advanced configuration options.

WORKS WITH STELLAR VIEW

IF YOU LATELY UPDATED THE MOD, I RECOMMEND YOU TO TYPE /bloodmoon_config reset because some values have changed in the latest version.

The updates of this mod will be a bit slowed down, as it takes really a lot of time, and would like to try other projects. Though, this will definitely not get abandonned as there are plenty of stuffs to do with this mod.
