Overview

Nightfall is a total overhaul that reimagines Minecraft survival to deliver a challenging, immersive, and mechanically deep experience within a novel dark fantasy universe.

Major Features

• Dark Fantasy Aesthetic – Enjoy an alternative art style eschewing the bright, soft aesthetic of vanilla in favor of darker, richer colors and stark contrast.
• Encyclopedia – Discover new mechanics, recipes, and fields of knowledge through solving puzzles presented by the encyclopedia.
• Enhanced Combat – Employ dashing, basic & alternate weapon attacks, stuns, and unique weapon techniques to overcome foes.
• Dangerous Nights – Fight to carve out a place for yourself in this harsh world and survive against the undead dangers of the night.
• Better Building – Utilize a single building material to easily place multiple block variants without the hassle of crafting and inventory management.
• Continental Worlds – Explore continents separated by a vast ocean. Scale mountains reaching nearly 400 blocks in height or descend into complex caves just as deep.
• Seasons – Experience the four seasons as time passes, affecting weather, animals, plants, and trees.
• Time Simulation – Return from a long adventure to find that the world has changed without your presence. Snow & ice forms and melts, plants grow, fuel burns, and so on.

Minor features include layered waterlogging, dynamic lighting, customizable attributes, smarter AI, revamped cave generation, staged tree growth, universal gravity, climbing, and more.

FAQ

Some textures appear unchanged. How do I fix this?

Answer Make sure that “Mod Resources” is above “Default” in Resource Packs.

Will you update Nightfall to X version?

Answer No.

Will you port Nightfall to X mod loader?

Answer No.

Is X mod compatible with Nightfall?

Answer If it’s a purely visual/audio mod, probably yes. If it's a performance mod, maybe. Otherwise, no unless it is explicitly made compatible by the mod developer or modpack author. Distant Horizons is compatible but has minor issues regarding clouds and fog on water.

Can I use shaders with Nightfall?

Answer No unless it explicitly supports Nightfall.

Can I post Nightfall on another website?

Answer You may repost the contents of this page to another website, excluding the mod files themselves. Downloads must be redirected to this page on Modrinth. Do **NOT** rehost the mod files.

Can I use Nightfall in a modpack?

Answer Yes as long as you differentiate your modpack from the definitive version modpack. In other words, do not create a purely performance enhanced Nightfall modpack. I encourage you to use the definitive version as a base and build off that.

Can I develop an addon/compatibility mod or resource pack for Nightfall?

Answer Yes. Note that Nightfall is in active development, so updates will be frequent and consistently introduce new features. If you choose to develop something, let me know what you’re making so I can help you avoid conflict with future updates. See the [GitHub page](https://github.com/Frostnox/Nightfall) for more technical info.

Can I translate Nightfall to X language?

Answer Yes. Once completed, language files should ideally be submitted to the GitHub in the form of a pull request. See the contribution guidelines & notices [here](https://github.com/Frostnox/Nightfall/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md). The roots of unique words are listed here to help clarify their meaning: - Wyldery – Wyld (English) + -ery (English) - Nixwacke – Nix (Latin) + Greywacke (English) - Aurgrot – Aurora/Aura (English) + Grotto (English) - Stygfel – Stygian (English) + Hornfels (English) - Caedtar - Caedis (Latin) + Tar (English) - Merbor - Mere (Old English) + Bor (Middle English)

Support

If you enjoy my mod, consider supporting me on Ko-fi. Nightfall is the result of over 10,000 hours of work done for free. I will continue developing Nightfall until its completion regardless of what happens, but any and all financial support is greatly appreciated as it allows me to dedicate more time to working on it.
