Events were time periods when special mobs spawned in the Overworld.
Overview[ | ]
There were 7 events in Advent of Ascension - 4 occurred at night, and 3 occurred during the day. Events could not occur within the first 20 minutes of a new world. An announcement would be made when an event began or ended.
All events besides the Full Moon event occurred randomly. It was also possible for multiple events to occur at the same time.
Reasons for removal[ | ]
Events were removed in 3.5 for multiple reasons:
- Concerns about excessive bloat in the Overworld, which had far more AoA mobs at the time than any other dimension.
- Quality issues, including events themselves being arbitrary and rather inflexible.
- Because of how the base game's spawning works, events were implemented by having mobs which would always attempt to spawn, and fail if the event was not active. The sheer amount of event mobs made this an issue, as it interfered with the spawning of every other mob.
Night Events[ | ]
The following events all occur at night. They are announced shortly after the sun sets, and end as the sun rises.
Full Moon Event[ | ]
Opening message: The ground bathes in the pearly light of the moon.
Closing message: The moon falls beyond the horizon.
The Full Moon Event is the only event that does not occur randomly, instead occurring whenever there is a full moon- with the exception of the first Full Moon in a world.
In Minecraft the moon goes through a Lunar Cycle. Each Lunar Cycle consists of 8 moon phases; on the 8th moon phase, the Full Moon comes out. The first night of the game is always a Full Moon, so the player will not have to worry about the event until the next Full Moon.
According to the Minecraft Wiki, each lunar cycle takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes. This means that assuming no nights are skipped through usage of a bed, a Full Moon Event will occur every 2 hours and 30 minutes of gameplay.
