PROLOGUE / FULL MOON NIGHT

One last lantern is waiting for you.

The story and missions are an exploration narrative written for this guide, using the locations and mechanics in v1.5.0.

An unsigned invitation brings you to the edge of the forest. Pumpkin lanterns still glow at the gate, but the clock tower seems to have forgotten time. Candles burn behind windows. Footsteps cross the road. No one speaks of morning.

A stranger beneath a lantern may be a werewolf; a pumpkin lamp in the cemetery belongs to a skeleton. Bandages trail across the crypt floor while a scythe-bearing spirit guards the forest shrine. None explains why midnight has stopped, but every strand of web tries to end your investigation.

Your goal is to understand the dangers, complete your investigation and return to your own world with a record of what you found. Nightfall remains. Another visitor is already on the way.

INSIDE THE MOD

Three rules for surviving Nightfall.

01

Midnight, forever

Explore a 224 × 224-block village and forest in a separate dimension. The Overworld keeps its normal day–night cycle.

02

A secret ten blocks away

A human disguise transforms when a Survival or Adventure player comes within 10 blocks, then gives chase. It returns to human form after players leave the radius.

03

Webs or fire

Webs stick to surfaces and mobs, and bring web bats down. The fire wand ignites creatures without setting buildings on fire.

THE CREATURE FILES

Your creations come alive after dark.

Six original creature dossiers: source geometry and texture renders, current gameplay mechanics and in-village captures.

01 / WEREWOLFWerewolf · TeacherMa original model render
Original model render · source geometry and textures

Pursuit / proximity transformation

Werewolf

Ten blocks. One terrible revelation.

Built from your original werewolf model: a human disguise, red eyes and fangs, a transformation sequence and a four-legged run. The mane, claws and head retain the original design.

Encounter
A Survival or Adventure player within a ten-block radius triggers a roughly five-second transformation, followed by melee pursuit. Once all eligible players leave the radius, pursuit stops and the disguise returns within about five seconds.
Field advice
Choose an escape route before approaching and use the transformation window to retreat. Creative and Spectator players do not trigger this encounter.
  • Trigger radius ≤ 10 blocks
  • Transformation ≈ 5 seconds
  • 36 health points

02 / PUMPKIN-ZOMBIE-BATPumpkin zombie · TeacherMa original model render
Original model render · source geometry and textures

Ground threat / ranged webs

Pumpkin zombie

The lantern bearer can trap you too.

Green skin, a purple jacket and a carried pumpkin create a distinctive Halloween silhouette. The original project contains both the zombie and bat; the mod uses them as separate creatures.

Encounter
Found around the village, pumpkin field and forest, it attacks from range with sticky webs. Webs restrict movement, making narrow paths dangerous.
Field advice
Dodge sideways, keep an exit open and avoid corners. Use your own webs to gain distance before switching to the wand.
  • Original carried-pumpkin design
  • Ranged web attack
  • 26 health points

03 / WITCHWeb witch · TeacherMa original model render
Original model render · source geometry and textures

Location guardian / ranged webs

Web witch

A watcher of marshes and graves.

Your witch model brings together an orange pointed hat, green clothing, a cape and a broom, using its original textures. The close-up render shows the hat decorations and face details.

Encounter
In Nightfall, the witch is a hostile creature found in the witchfen and cemetery. It attacks with ranged webs and uses ground movement in the current release.
Field advice
Leave room to retreat on the boardwalk. Break line of sight with walls and avoid fighting several enemies at once on a narrow bridge.
  • Original broom and cape
  • Cemetery / witchfen
  • 26 health points

04 / HALLOWEEN-SKELETONLantern Skeleton · TeacherMa original model render
Original model render · source geometry and textures

Cemetery watch / web casting

Lantern Skeleton

Its lantern lights the path—and your escape.

Ivory bones, green eyes, a purple cape and a pumpkin lantern preserve your original design. The lantern sways at rest, limbs and cape move during walking, and the waving gesture warns of a web cast.

Encounter
24 health points and four preset actors on village roads and in the cemetery. It raises its free hand before launching a sticky web after about 1.1 seconds, provided it still has a clear line of sight.
Field advice
Move sideways or break line of sight when its free hand rises. Your web shooter slows it and your fire wand can ignite it.
  • 24 health points
  • 4 preset actors
  • 3 original animation clips

05 / HALLOWEEN-SCYTHE-REAPERScythe Reaper · TeacherMa original model render
Original model render · source geometry and textures

Forest guardian / ranged and melee combat

Scythe Reaper

Retreat before the scythe descends.

The pumpkin head, dark robes, giant scythe and soul flame come from your original model. Its hovering sway, crescent sweep and soul-summoning clips are retained. The animation creates a floating silhouette while the entity navigates on the ground.

Encounter
40 health points and two preset actors near the shrine and woodland. It fires webs at range and swings its scythe up close. A swing resolves once after about 0.9 seconds for seven base melee damage, modified by difficulty and armour.
Field advice
Use the wind-up to retreat beyond three blocks or move behind solid cover. Control it with a web before casting fire, and avoid narrow dead ends.
  • 40 health points
  • 7 base melee damage
  • 2 preset actors

06 / HALLOWEEN-MUMMYAncient Mummy · TeacherMa original model render
Original model render · source geometry and textures

Crypt patrol / web traps

Ancient Mummy

Footsteps in the crypt draw closer.

Layered bandages, green eyes, a purple sash and a golden amulet retain the original design. Head, arm and waist ribbons follow the authored idle and shambling clips; its scare gesture warns of a web attack.

Encounter
32 health points and four preset actors in the crypt and woodland. It moves slowly but launches webs after a roughly 1.1-second wind-up. A successful web attaches to its target and slows movement.
Field advice
Locate the crypt exit before approaching and avoid facing several enemies in the doorway. Slow it with a web, make room, then cast fire from a clear angle.
  • 32 health points
  • 4 preset actors
  • 3 original animation clips

THE FIELD JOURNAL / SIX CHAPTERS

Your mission: investigate, then survive.

A self-guided route playable with the existing mechanics: find your way, observe a transformation, practise webs and fire, then return with screenshots of your journey.

Website field journal

Check objectives manually and keep progress in this browser. The current mod has no automatic quest tracking, story unlocks or quest rewards.

01

Departure / gate

The midnight invitation

An invitation leads you beyond familiar lights. Learn how to return before deciding how far to venture.

Chapter objectives

Field tipAn invitation needs one paper, one carved pumpkin and one string, in any arrangement.

See the location ↗
02

Village / clock tower

Follow the lanterns

The tower marks the village centre and cottage supplies support the investigation. But a figure carrying a pumpkin lantern may be no friendly watchman.

Chapter objectives

Field tipChest loot is random and can include string, food and a web shooter. Supplies are world loot, not mission rewards.

See the location ↗
03

Village roads / pumpkin field

The ten-block stranger

A figure under the lanterns looks almost ordinary. Keep an exit behind you and watch what happens as you approach.

Chapter objectives

Field tipMelee pursuit starts after roughly five seconds. Retreat before being surrounded; pumpkin field guards also fire webs.

See the location ↗
04

Whispering Graves

Threads among the graves

Supplies remain in the crypt. Skeletons carry pumpkin lamps and mummies shamble out of the shadows; every step risks a web trap.

Chapter objectives

Field tipNew in 1.5.0: skeletons and mummies cast webs about 1.1 seconds after their warning gesture. Use gravestones and door frames as cover. Your webs can also bring this mod’s bats down.

See the location ↗
05

Witchfen

The watcher in the marsh

Beyond the boardwalk, an orange pointed hat appears in the doorway.

Chapter objectives

Field tipThe wand reaches 24 blocks and ignites a hit creature for about 30 seconds. Fire immunity and water can change the outcome.

See the location ↗
06

Forest shrine / homeward

Return from the endless night

A giant pumpkin glows among the trees and a Scythe Reaper guards the shrine. Record the encounter, keep an escape route open, then return to your world with the findings.

Chapter objectives

Field tipA scythe hit resolves about 0.9 seconds into the swing; retreat or use solid cover to evade it. The ending is your safe return. Completing the website journal does not end the permanent night.

A LITTLE HELP

Need a hand? Start here.

Are these quests tracked and rewarded in game?

These missions are a guide to existing gameplay, with a manual checklist on this page. This release has no in-game quest journal, scripted story triggers or automatic quest rewards. Progress stays in this browser and does not read your game save.

Does the full moon trigger transformation? Can witches fly?

Full Moon Night is the adventure theme. Werewolves transform based on player distance, not moon phase. The witch retains the broom in the original model but uses ground-based combat in this release. The cover is promotional artwork; the gameplay captures show the current version.

Why does the werewolf stay human?

Use Survival or Adventure, keep the mob alive and approach within ten blocks in three dimensions. Allow around five seconds. Creative and Spectator players do not trigger it.

Will my existing village be rebuilt?

Upgrading from 1.4 to 1.5 appends ten new actors once; an upgrade from 1.3 also adds six werewolves. Buildings, chests and defeated original actors are preserved. Remove the old JAR and fully restart the world or server after installing the update.

Where can I find the three new creatures?

Enter Nightfall on a difficulty above Peaceful. Lantern Skeletons inhabit village roads and the cemetery, mummies the crypt and woodland, and reapers the forest shrine and camp area. They also spawn naturally in the Nightfall biome. Try the three new eggs in the Creative inventory or /halloween kit. The reaper follows ground paths; its hovering appearance comes from the original animation.

Can I install this on mobile or Bedrock?

These are Minecraft Java Edition mods, not Bedrock add-ons. Use Java Edition with the matching game and loader versions.

Missing dependency or duplicate mod on launch?

Check the Minecraft, Java, loader and API versions listed here. Keep only one version of this mod in mods; duplicate mod IDs cannot be loaded together. Source ZIPs do not belong in mods.
