About BloodMoon
From SpigotMCA BloodMoon shines every couple of nights
BloodMoon
=======
Please note that this plugin is still in its infancy, and while I can attest it works great on my own 1.16.1 server, it was not thoroughly tested over a significant amount of time
This plugins adds an event called a "BloodMoon" every couple of nights, making it a central event to prepare for
How it works
========
During a BloodMoon, many aspects of the game are altered:
- Mobs drop special loot
- Mobs can be much stronger, with more health and damage
- Mobs can apply special effects
You can configure the plugin to make the BloodMoon more or less difficult
Commands
========
bloodmoon show: Shows the remaining time until next BloodMoon
bloodmoon start: Starts a BloodMoon immediately
bloodmoon stop: Stops a BloodMoon immediately
bloodmoon reload: Reload locales and config files
bloodmoon spawnzombieboss: Spawns a zombie boss
bloodmoon killbosses [true]: Kills all bosses in current world. Append true to grant rewards
bloodmoon spawnhorde [player]: Spawns a horde of mob to either a player of your choosing, or to a random player if none is specified
