Nyx Mod is an interesting mod dedicated to the moon. It introduces enchantments that increase damage depending on the moon phase. During a full moon, monsters will spawn more frequently and with enhanced characteristics, and enchanting items can only be done at night. For example, two new enchantments will appear in the game-Lunar Shield and Lenar Edge. The first one provides greater armor protection during a full moon, while the second one increases weapon damage during a full moon. The number of mobs spawning and their frequency will depend on the moon (the fuller the moon, the more mobs), but there is a chance that hostile mobs will not spawn during a full moon and plants will grow significantly faster. Additionally, water gains healing properties and can remove all negative effects from the player during a full moon.

Features:

Enchanting

New Enchantments:

Lunar Shield: An enchantment that increases your armor’s damage reduction based on the phase of the moon. During a full moon, it is stronger than Protection. During a new moon, it has no effect.
Lunar Edge: An enchantment that increases your melee weapons’ strength based on the phase of the moon. During a full moon, it is stronger than Sharpness. During a new moon, it has no effect. Killing a mob with it will also yield double experience on a full moon.
New Mechanic: This changes the game so that you can only use an enchantment table during the night. This can be disabled in the configs menu.

Lunar Events

Full Moon Changes: Nights of the full moon are now more dangerous. Monsters spawn more frequently, and will also sometimes spawn with beneficial status effects like Speed, Strength, Resistance and Invisibility. Additionally, wolves become fully hostile to the player and all passive mobs during nights of the full moon.
Harvest Moon: Rarely, the moon and sky will turn a crisp blue, and bathe the overworld in its peaceful light. During this event, no hostile mobs spawn (save for slimes), and crops will grow faster. Slimes continue to spawn in their respective chunks, and can be found at greater sizes than normal.
Blood Moon: Rarely, the moon and sky will turn a sanguine red, and bathe the overworld in its baleful light. During this event, hostile mobs spawn much more frequently. They can also spawn closer to the player (this is currently disabled by default, but can be toggled and adjusted in the config menu).
Falling Stars: If you look up at the night sky for long enough, you might see a shimmer of white light streak across your vision. Follow it, and you may receive a Fallen Star for your efforts, or even more rarely, a Meteor Shard.
Star Showers: Rarely, the sky will take on a yellow shade, and falling stars will become much more frequent for the duration of the night.
Meteors: Rare and destructive astral bodies that descend from the sky in a fiery arc. Can occur any time of day, but more common at night. Leave Meteoric Rock in their impact zone, which can be mined for Astral Shards. The more one or more players stay in a certain area, the less likely the chance for a meteor to fall nearby, so you’ll need to venture out to new locations if you’ve been in one place for a while and haven’t seen any meteors. Meteors become a bit more common after one or more players have been to the Nether.
- When a meteor falls during a harvest moon, there’s a chance to receive a special meteoric rock variant, which yields Gleaning Crystals instead of Meteor Shards.

New Items

Fallen Stars: The item that can be found at the impact zone of a Falling Star. Can be made into decorative blocks.
Meteor Shards: The base material that can be obtained by mining Meteoric Rock. Can be ground up into dust via a crafting table, which can then be smelted into blast-resistant glass. Can also be smelted directly, which will yield ingots.
Lunar Water: If you fill a cauldron with water and let it sit exposed to the night sky for a certain time (as of 1.4, depending on the moon’s phase), it will eventually bubble with white particles. Throwing a Lapis Lazuli into the incensed water will transform it into Lunar Water. One cauldron yields three bottles of Lunar Water. Drinking a bottle will cure you of negative status effects, and give you a very brief regeneration effect.
