Blood Moon...

Blood Moon is a plugin that adds periodic "Blood Moons", that can either be triggered manually, or randomly every full Moon (the odds of this can be configured).

During a Blood Moon, all zombies that spawn will gain a set of gear (which you configure)

This image shows a screenshot of a Minecraft player looking at a zombie in full Netherite armour with the text "Blood-Moon", "Mobs you find will be stronger" across the middle of the screen

Commands:

/setequipement

Opens the GUI to configure the gear that zombies will have during a blood moon
(This command requires the operator permission)

/trigger <world>

Forces a blood moon in the specified world (if no world is specified the user's current world is used)

(Requires the bloodmoon.trigger permission)

/reload-bloodmoon

Reloads the plugin

(Requires the bloodmoon.reload permission)

/equipmentpool <add/list> <slot>

Allows you to add items to the random equipment pool (instead of using the preset equipment this will use random items for each mob - this behavior must be enabled in the /setequipment GUI)
(Requires the bloodmoon.equipmentpool permission)

config.yml

This is the default config.yml for the plugin

allow-sleep: false

# This is the message that the player gets when they attempt to enter a bed during a blood moon if allow-sleep is false

  bloodmoon-bedenter: '§4§lYou can not enter the bed during a blood moon... Good luck§l§4'
# The worlds you don't want blood moons to occur in. Added in version 1.5

Equipment pools

Equipment pools are a new experimental feature, every night mobs will gain random items from a pool of equipment instead of a fixed armour set, as with /setequipment. A GUI for this is currently in development, but as of right now you have to use the /equipmentpool command to configure it. To enable the equipment pools you have to press the enable button in the /setequipment GUI

data.json

The plugin uses a data.json file located in the /plugins/BloodMoon directory (next to the config.yml file), direct modification of this file is discouraged, instead it is recommended to use the /setequipement <zombie_slot> command. Please note that attributes such as the item name and trims are not saved at this moment in time (although this is subject to change)
*Please note that a server restart may be required when using the /setequipement command for the changes to take effect...
