🌙 About xBloodMoon

Bring fear to the night! xBloodMoon is a highly optimized and modern Blood Moon plugin that randomly triggers challenging nights for your players. It increases mob difficulty, drops custom essences, tracks the top killers, and prevents server lag through strict anti‑lag mechanisms.

✨ Features

• 0‑Lag Guarantee: Strict mob‑per‑chunk limits, disabled item pickup and disabled explosion griefing during the event to keep your TPS at 20.0.
• Top Killers Leaderboard: A fully customizable post‑event broadcast tracking the best hunters, saved persistently to disk (data/kills.yml).
• Discord Webhooks: Async JSON payloads to alert your community when the Blood Moon rises and falls, without hanging the main thread.
• Dynamic Difficulty: Apply instant multipliers to monster speed and attack damage during the red night.
• WorldGuard Support: Soft‑dependency included to prevent Blood Moon effects inside protected spawn regions.
• RGB/HEX Ready: Build beautiful announcements with native modern color support (&#FF0000).
