Hive Collective
The night will undergo a transformation when the full moon arrives!
About this Mod
Overview
Hive Collective introduces a dynamic, configurable nightly threat to your Minecraft world, inspired by mechanics like The Hordes' Horde event. Each night brings tension with key, customizable features:
- Configurable Chance: Each night has a configurable base chance (default 5%) to become a "Hive Night."
- Lunar Cycle: The event is guaranteed on a full moon, tying the danger to the game's natural rhythm.
- Mod Compatibility: Spawns are not limited to vanilla mobs; hostile entities from other mods can join the fray, greatly increasing variety and challenge.
- Complete Control: Every aspect - from trigger chance and spawn lists to special mechanics - is fully customizable via the config file.
UI Changes
Real-time Threat Assessment: An in-game overlay provides crucial survival intel:
- Mobs: Total living entities within a 128-block radius.
- M (Monster): Count of hostile mobs nearby. (Note: That not all hostile entities are counted, for example, Slimes, Magma Cubes, Ghasts and similar entities are excluded)
- I (Item): Number of item entities on the ground, helping you assess recent activity.
