Magic Moon Mod gives survival nights a more deliberate event cycle by adding scheduled moon events that can make the overworld far more dangerous or, on certain nights, noticeably more favorable. Instead of treating every night the same, the mod introduces four moon types tied to the day-night cycle, including invasion-style events with heavier hostile spawns and utility-focused nights that affect crops or hostile mob activity. The listed supported versions include Minecraft 1.19.2 through 1.21.11, and the Modrinth page was updated on 2026-03-15.
Key Features
- Adds four special moon types that occur periodically around the day-night cycle.

- Magic Moon happens every 48 days and can spawn Nether mobs, pillagers, and other threats in the overworld at night.
- Yellow Moon happens every 64 days and gives a chance for double crop drops at night.
- Blue Moon happens every 96 days and greatly reduces hostile mob spawning at night.
- Special moons occur on day +1, with examples listed as day 25, 49, 65, and 97.
