Dusk Mod Overview
Nights in Minecraft just got a lot harder. Dusk Mod gradually increases the monster spawn cap as darkness falls, ramping up the difficulty until dawn breaks. The longer you survive, the more dangerous it gets. Works on servers and single-player, server-side only so the server needs it, clients don’t.
Features
Progressive Difficulty
Monster cap increases smoothly over the course of the night instead of staying flat. You can feel the pressure building as the hours pass. By midnight things get crazy.
Fully Configurable
Tune everything to your liking. Adjust how much the mob cap increases, when sleeping becomes allowed, or disable sleeping entirely. Set the overall monster cap to whatever challenge level you want.
Server-Side Only
Only the server needs the mod installed. Players joining don’t need to download or install anything, which makes it perfect for multiplayer servers.
What You Can Configure
- Increase to the monster cap during night, spread across the time interval
- Total monster cap ceiling
- Time of day when sleeping is allowed (defaults to a bit later than vanilla)
- Enable or disable sleeping completely
Requirements
You’ll need Minecraft Forge or Fabric mod loader installed for your Minecraft version.
