About this project
What does Dusk add?


Dusk gives you full control over how dangerous Minecraft nights become.
Version 4.1+ is a major rework that expands Dusk with several new night difficulty features:
- Control when players are allowed to sleep and skip the night
- Optionally disable sleeping entirely
- Increase monster spawns at night, gradually ramping up until midnight
- Set the global monster cap, increasing the total amount of hostile mobs in the world
- New in 4.1+: Adjust hostile mob spawn light requirements during the night
- New in 4.1+: Make hostile mobs detect players from farther away at night
- New in 4.1+: Give hostile mobs configurable potion blessings during the night
All these features are fully configurable, you find the config in the config/dusk.json file.
Requires Cuboard dependency to be installed in newer versions
