Survive Your First Night as the Moon Fades

Prepare Before Darkness Falls

The moon doesn't vanish instantly—you have time to prepare. During your first day, prioritize gathering wood and stone to build a shelter. The mod spawns 25 hostile entities that become more aggressive as the night sky darkens, so a basic enclosed structure is essential.

Building Your Safe Space

Construct walls at least 2 blocks high and ensure your shelter has a door or entrance you can seal. Avoid building near open fields where entities like The Stalk can watch you from a distance. Light your interior with torches or other light sources; hostile mobs still spawn in darkness even indoors, but well-lit areas reduce their activity.

Gearing Up for Night

Craft basic wooden or stone tools and weapons before sunset. Keep your shelter stocked with food and a bed—sleeping through the night won't stop the moon's fade, but it resets your spawn point and gives you safety. If you venture outside after dark, move cautiously and listen for the eerie sounds that signal entity presence. Return to shelter immediately if you hear unusual audio cues or see flashing lights.
