Every 4 full moon is replaced by a unique event: the Blood Moon

Dev note: using the datapack version or the mod version on a server require the blood moon resourcepack : https://modrinth.com/resourcepack/blood-moon-resourcepack
Blood Moons occur only every 32 nights, but you can use "/time set minecraft:blood_moon" to get a Blood Moon !
You can't sleep to skip the blood moon, but if you're too afraid of the challenge you can hide underground or in another dimension, as only the overworld is affected.
All hostile mobs affected by the blood moon will emit red particles and will be boosted with either strengh, speed or resistance, creepers can give you the nausea and infested effect when exploding, and more phantoms will spawn to attack you.
Every challenge comes with a reward, face boosted mobs during the Blood Moon to obtain Moon Essences, you can throw moon essences on the ground to get more experience, like an enchanting bottle.
