About Horde Nights

From Modrinth

This adds Lunar Events every 30-45 days, some making mobs a lot more powerful, others remarkably tame. Can you survive them all?

Horde Nights 2.0 is in development. It will be made for Minecraft v26.1, and considered completely incompatible with any versions previous. You will be able to update your world, however most, if not all progression within the pack will be lost. For this reason, we will not be porting v1.x.x versions to MC 26.1 or above.

Ever wanted a challenge? Not just a boss fight, something more? Something unique...

Welcome to Horde Nights!

This datapack based project adds the ability to encounter Lunar Events, such as a Blood Moon. These events happen every 30-45 days based on difficulty.

During Lunar Events, you will have to face The Horde. The members of The Horde will be modified based on difficulty & Event type.

If you wish to summon a Lunar Event yourself, instead of waiting, you can perform a Blood Ritual. You will need both campfire types. Be careful, if you mess up the ritual, things may go very weird.

We have also added 7+ advancements on our own, plus 3+ Super Challenge(s) when paired with Blaze & Cave's Advancement Pack(see Integrations below).

For questions and any other support, check out our Discord Server! Make sure to use the Support forum channel! You might also get some sneak peaks of upcoming updates!

Configuration

By running the command ``/function h-nigh:config`` you will open the customization menu. This is a datapack based project, so text file configs are impossible.

You can customize the pack difficulty, or leave it dependent on your game difficulty.

You can customize the interval of Blood Moons, and toggle features such as Cowardice & The Blood Ritual.

Integrations

Horde Nights has integrations with several other packs. Please bear in mind sometimes this list may be a little out of date.

  • RRC Resources Integration for 1.20+
  • This is highly recommended for a more immersive gameplay experience, but is completely optional.
  • Mo-Variants Integration for 1.20+
  • This integration reduces issues with some variants, and even adds a couple unique Horde Effects for some other variants.
  • Works best with Mo-Variants 7.7.0 or Higher(this version is currently in betas)
  • Mo-Critters Integration for 1.20+
  • This integration ensures that critters do not spawn during negative Lunar Events, keeping the creepy vibe intact.
  • Ensure you have v1.0.12+ for 1.20.x or 1.3.0+ for 1.21.x as this pack split off from Mo-Variants.
  • BACAP Integration for 1.20+
  • This integration adds 3+ Super Challenge(s) to complete.
  • Not using this integration creates a cosmetic error in log, ignore it.
  • Creeper Overhaul Integration for 1.20/1.20.1 & 1.21/1.21.1
  • This integration recruits 13/14 new creepers to The horde.
  • Not using this integration creates a cosmetic error in log, ignore it.
  • Time Lib Integration for 1.21-1.21.8
  • This integration will allow the automatic enabling and disabling of:
  • Festive Moons [Dec 1st to Dec 31st]
  • Natural Bunk Events [April 1st]
  • This integration can be toggled in the "Advanced" section of the config
  • TimeLib has been discontinued for 1.21.9+, requiring manual toggles or user supplimented automation to toggle these things appropriately.

Only these projects are guaranteed to work with this pack. While we do our best to maintain decent compatibility standards, things may interact weirdly. Please report any incompatibilities or suggest any ideas for official integration improvements in our discord!
