📋 About This Mod

This mod makes it so that during the night, after midnight, the game will begin spawning hostile mobs across the map, anywhere that is outdoors.

During the day nothing will be different, but nights are suddenly a bit more dangerous. The health of the Mobs scales with your combat ability, and I think I've just about scaled the monsters for the length of your game.

I should mention that the pictures are Exaggerated - Normally there are far fewer mobs, and some of the ones in the pictures are not in the final mod.
