Survive Your First Night with Hostile Entities

Prepare Before Dark

Beyond the Veil introduces aggressive mobs that become more active and dangerous at night. Before sunset, gather wood and stone to craft basic tools and a shelter. Build walls at least two blocks high—many entities can reach ground level but struggle with vertical obstacles.

Secure Your Base

Create an enclosed space with a door and minimal windows. Light your interior with torches to reduce mob spawning inside. The mod's entities are drawn to players in open areas, so staying indoors significantly reduces encounters.

Listen for Warnings

The mod plays distinctive audio cues when dangerous mobs approach or spawn nearby. When you hear these sounds, immediately move indoors or to higher ground. Do not investigate unfamiliar noises alone—they often precede sudden attacks.

Use KeepInventory

Enable the KeepInventory gamerule before playing. This prevents you from losing your gear when hostile mobs catch you off-guard, which happens frequently in this mod. You'll still take damage and die, but your items remain safe in your inventory.
