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).

Support:

For questions, bug reports, suggestions, 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 Please bear in mind sometimes this list may be a little out of date.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 unreleased)
​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 1.21-1.21.1
- This integration will allow the automatic enabling and disabling of Festive Moons.
- This integration can be toggled in the "Advanced" section of the config
- As of writing this, 1.21.2-1.21.4 are not yet officially supported by TimeLib. Check back for updates!

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!

The primed diamond is a crafting recipe using the crafting table. It takes a redstone block and a diamond.



Sorry about the late reply, i've been working on my mental health, then came back and started working on project pages(finally). Hope this helps!

This just means that you have not enabled the ritual in config. Please do so. You can find the command in the pack description on modrinth, or ask for additional help in the discord server!

Hello! Please let me know which version of the pack you are using!



The latest version of the pack has a config, and has been heavily playtested.



The config should let you enable the blood ritual which will ensure you get a blood moon as soon as the sun starts setting.



The ritual is cooking a diamond on a campfire btw!
