Surface Light
Surface Light changes how bright the night is, based on the moon phase. A full moon lights the surface. A new moon leaves it dark. This also decides where mobs spawn at night.
Presets
- Safe Nights: no surface spawns, any night.
- Full Moon Respite: only the full moon is safe.
- New Moon Prowl: only the new moon is dangerous.
- Vanilla: normal night light.
- Custom: set each phase yourself.
Notes
- Config screen in Mod Menu (needs Cloth Config).
- Needs Fabric API.
