Astronomy

The moon

The server follows the real-world moon phase.

Effect New moon Full moon
Day/night cycle length ~24 real hours ~2 real hours
Mob damage normal +50%
Mob health normal +50%
Mobs with equipment rare 50% chance
Spellbook drops and knowledge baseline ~2.5x
Ender Dragon respawn ~1 per day ~1 per 2 hours

Player magic power also rises briefly at full moon, at the moment a spell lands. Stat readouts are unaffected.

Some fish only bite on certain phases, and moon-tied species swing harder in price.

Planets

Several planets enter and leave the night sky on separate cycles. Use a spyglass and search the sky to study them.

Birth charts

The planets visible on the night you were born become your birth chart. It is permanent and cannot be rerolled. Those are the only planets you can ever draw on.

Read your chart with a Star Chart from /shop.

Drawing

If a planet from your chart is in the sky, aim a spyglass at it and hold steady for several seconds. Success grants that planet's influence until dawn. Once per night per planet.

Most planets give one effect and take another.

The Ender Dragon

Respawns at every in-game midnight without player-placed crystals. It does not stack if one is already alive. Because the day/night cycle tracks the moon, it returns far more often at full moon.

Phantoms

They do not spawn from insomnia. A single phantom appears rarely at night, at high altitude.
