Frequently asked questions

How do I turn off the fear effects if they're too intense?
Fear effects like screen warping and eye spawns are tied to how long you stay in darkness—the longer you remain without light, the stronger they become. The best way to reduce them is to place torches, campfires, or other light sources around you; this resets your time in darkness and calms the visual distortions.
Why does my screen keep pulsing red?
Your screen pulses red when your health drops below six hearts as a visual warning that you're in danger. Eat food or drink healing potions to restore your health and stop the pulsing effect.
What's the blood moon and when does it happen?
The blood moon is a rare nighttime event where the sky turns red and bathes your entire world in a crimson glow. It happens randomly on certain nights and makes the world feel even more ominous, though it doesn't directly harm you—it's mainly a visual and atmospheric effect.
Is the Nether actually pitch black or can I still see lava?
The Nether becomes almost completely dark, with lava being the primary light source. This means you'll need to rely on lava pools, torches, and other light-emitting blocks to navigate safely.
