Fractured Equilibrium Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I know when the moon is fading and things are about to get bad?
Watch the night sky carefully—the moon visibly dims over time as the mod progresses. You'll also notice eerie sound effects and visual warnings like screen flashes before dangerous events trigger, giving you a window to prepare or take shelter.
What should I do on my first night?
Build a shelter immediately before nightfall, gather basic weapons and armor, and stay indoors or in a well-lit area. The mod spawns hostile entities that become more aggressive as darkness increases, so early defense is critical.
Can I turn off the scary sounds and flashing lights?
Yes—type `/help_config` in chat to access the mod settings and disable screen flashes and loud audio. You can also toggle world destruction in the same menu if you want to keep your builds safe.
What's the difference between The Core, The Stalk, and The Alone?
The Core emits disorienting moonlight that affects your vision, The Stalk watches from shadows and reacts when you look directly at it (so avoid staring), and The Alone is a solitary wanderer that prefers isolation and will react if you approach it.
Do random events destroy my buildings?
Yes, the mod includes world hazards that can damage blocks and structures as part of unpredictable events. You can disable this feature using `/help_config` if you want to protect your builds.
How many hostile mobs does this mod add?
The mod spawns 25 different hostile entities, each with unique behaviors and threat levels. Lesser Souls are among the weaker ones, while named entities like The Core and The Stalk pose greater dangers.
Is there a boss fight I need to prepare for?
Yes, the mod includes a challenging boss encounter for players who want an intense fight. Make sure you have strong weapons, armor, and healing items before attempting it, and consider fighting in a prepared arena rather than your base.
Does this mod work on multiplayer servers?
Yes, Fractured Equilibrium works in both singleplayer worlds and multiplayer servers. All players on the server will experience the same moon fade and random events together.
What happens if I stay outside at night without armor?
You'll be vulnerable to the 25 hostile entities that spawn and hunt during darkness. Without protection, you'll likely take damage quickly, so always wear armor and carry weapons when venturing out after dark.
Can I disable just world destruction but keep the mobs and events?
Yes, the mod has granular config options—use `/help_config` to toggle world destruction separately from other features like mob spawning or random events, letting you customize your experience.
