The Horde Nights Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) transforms Minecraft’s peaceful sky into a crimson omen of doom with the addition of the Blood Moon, a recurring survival event that pushes players to their limits.

These nights occur on a fixed schedule based on the difficulty level, giving players just enough time to prepare before chaos descends. Whether you enjoy hardcore survival, PvE defense, or team-based strategy, the Horde Nights Mod injects a thrilling dose of unpredictability and intensity into your world.
