Have you ever noticed how easy nights are? Well bring some fun to the table by adding blood moons to your server! Blood moons are nights that come around by a 1/20 chance during which large packs of mobs can spawn. Packs of mobs of three to thirteen in size will spawn during these nights. Characteristics of a blood moon include the following:
To begin using the blood moon, run the command bmoon addworld <worldname> from the console. This will enable blood moons in that world.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| bloodMoonProbability | the probability of a blood moon occurring (default 20) |
| bloodMoonDifficulty | the difficulty of the world on blood moon nights (ranging from 1-3 where 1 is easy) |
| nonBloodMoonDifficulty | the difficulty of the world on days/nights that are not blood moons (ranging from 0-3 where 0 is peaceful) |
| damageReduction | how much less damage mobs will take on blood moon nights |
| endermen | enables/disables endermen from multiplying during blood moons |
At the end of a blood moon night, there is a 1/10 chance that the blood moon will be extended by another full night. At the end of the extension night, there is a 1/9 chance and this chance keeps increasing if there is an extension. This means there is a possibility of plunging into an infinite blood moon! Don't worry. If this happens and you don't want it to continue, you may just change the use the command bmoon resetextension <worldname> to reset it back to 10.
You may run various commands from the console for TheBloodMoon. To do this type in bmoon <command> <argument>. They include the following:
| Command | Argument | Description |
|---|---|---|
| sim | nameofworld | Simulates (forces) the blood moon in this world. You must have added it first with the addworld command. |
| is | name of world | Returns whether or not it is currently a blood moon in this world. If the world is not in the blood moon list, it will always return "no". |
| ls | none | Lists all of the blood moon worlds |
| addworld | name of world | Adds this world to the blood moon list so that it can become a blood moon in the world. |
| removeworld | name of world | Removes this world from the blood moon list. If it is a blood moon in the world, it will end. |
| resetextension | name of world | Resets the extension probability back to 1/10 for this world. |
