# Blood Moon…
\nBlood Moon is a plugin that adds periodic “Blood Moons”, that can either be triggered manually, or randomly every full Moon (the odds of this can be configured).<\/p>\n
During a Blood Moon, all zombies that spawn will gain a set of gear (which you configure)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
## Commands:<\/p>\n
\/setequipement
\n> – Opens the GUI to configure the gear that zombies will have during a blood moon
\n>
\n> (This command requires the operator permission)<\/p>\n
\/trigger <world>
\n> – Forces a blood moon in the specified world (if no world is specified the user’s current world is used)
\n> (Requires the bloodmoon.trigger permission)<\/p>\n
\/reload-bloodmoon
\n> – Reloads the plugin
\n> (Requires the bloodmoon.reload permission)<\/p>\n
\/equipmentpool <add\/list> <slot>
\n> – Allows you to add items to the random equipment pool (instead of using the preset equipment this will use random items for each mob – this behavior must be enabled in the \/setequipment GUI)
\n> (Requires the bloodmoon.equipmentpool permission)<\/p>\n
## config.yml
\nThis is the default config.yml for the plugin
\n“`yaml
\n#A percentage chance, without the % symbol
\nbloodmoon-chance: 50.0
\n#I recommend you leave this as true…
\ndo-bloodmoons: true
\n#Allow players to sleep during a blood moon
\nallow-sleep: false
\nmessages:
\n blood-moon-chat-message: ‘\u00a74As the blood moon rises the countless monsters band together, you encounter mobs with stronger gear…\u00a74’
\n blood-moon-title-message: ‘\u00a7cThe Blood Moon Rises Once Again!\u00a7c’
\n blood-moon-subtitle-message: ‘\u00a74Mobs you find will have stronger armour\u00a74’<\/p>\n
# This is the message that the player gets when they attempt to enter a bed during a blood moon if allow-sleep is false<\/p>\n
bloodmoon-bedenter: ‘\u00a74\u00a7lYou can not enter the bed during a blood moon… Good luck\u00a7l\u00a74’
\n# The worlds you don’t want blood moons to occur in. Added in version 1.5

\n## Equipment pools
\nEquipment pools are a new experimental feature, every night mobs will gain random items from a pool of equipment instead of a fixed armour set, as with \/setequipment. A GUI for this is currently in development, but as of right now you have to use the \/equipmentpool command to configure it. To enable the equipment pools you have to press the enable button in the \/setequipment GUI<\/p>\n
## data.json
\n > The plugin uses a data.json file located in the \/plugins\/BloodMoon directory (next to the config.yml file), direct modification of this file is discouraged, instead it is recommended to use the \/setequipement <zombie_slot> command. Please note that attributes such as the item name and trims are not saved at this moment in time (although this is subject to change)
\n*Please note that a server restart may be required when using the \/setequipement command for the changes to take effect…<\/p>\n
