Description

This plugin will add a blood moon event to your server, each night has a configurable chance of a blood moon. During a blood mood the game is made a lot harder:

• Skeletons shoot faster.
• Skeletons shoot fire arrows (that start fires).
• Zombies spawn with weapons and armor.
• Mobs can break blocks when focused on a player.
• Hostile mobs have more health.
• Small chance of your sword taking massive damage with each strike.
• Creepers have much more powerful explosions (that cause fire).
• Any hostile mob killed has a small chance of coming back as a zombie (or other mob).
• A mob will spawn if you try to sleep.
• More mobs will spawn.
• Mobs will drop more XP when killed.
• Mobs will drop more items when killed
• Mobs will target players from further away
• Mobs will move faster
• Custom texture pack during a bloodmoon, the default one makes the moon red.

All of the features can be configured for each world. See the config section for more information.

Config

Information relating to the config file for this plugin can be found on the config page.

Potential Conflicts

Due to limitations of the Bukkit API, this plugin has to override certain methods from the Minecraft source. If any other plugin replaces the same things it will not be compatible with BloodMoon and weird stuff may happen ! You would still be able to use both plugins but you would need to disable the break-blocks option in the config file, even them some features of either plugin may not work properly.

Contributing

Contributions to the project are very much welcome, if you have a feature that you want implemented and know a nice way to do it then consider forking the repo and submitting a pull request. These will be accepted as long as the following simple guidelines are followed.

• Do not edit the structure of the pom.xml file, feel free to add a dependency if you need it but the formatting and structure should not be changed.
• If you are exposing a new API method, add a JavaDoc comment to it, but don't over-comment internal code.
• Follow the existing code style, don't antagonise over every space though !

All dependencies that are used are now available from a public Maven repo, so you don't have to worry about building several other projects just to add a simple change any more.
