About
Nyx makes Minecraft’s nights more active with moon-, star-, and night-sky-themed events and mechanics. Full-moon nights bring more frequent monsters, some with beneficial status effects, while wolves become hostile to players and passive mobs; the Lunar Shield and Lunar Edge enchantments also grow stronger with the moon’s phase and have no effect at a new moon. Enchanting tables can be restricted to nighttime, and the configuration options let players adjust or disable many of the mod’s features. Rare Harvest Moons turn the sky blue, prevent hostile mob spawns except for slimes, and speed crop growth, while Blood Moons turn it red and make hostile mobs spawn much more frequently, sometimes closer to the player. Falling stars and occasional Star Showers bring collectible Fallen Stars and, more rarely, Meteor Shards; meteors can also strike the world, leaving mineable rock that yields shards, or, during a Harvest Moon, Gleaning Crystals. Meteor Shards can be processed into blast-resistant glass or ingots used to craft meteoric weapons, tools, armor, and a tracking device, while Fallen Stars can be made into decorative blocks. Players can make Lunar Water by leaving a water-filled cauldron beneath the night sky and adding Lapis Lazuli once the water is ready; drinking it cures negative status effects and briefly grants regeneration.

Security
No harmful code found
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.12.2.
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.1 latest file. It is not for a recent Minecraft version, so the answer above is about it. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.12.2.
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of its one file, for Minecraft 1.12.2. See each file in Releases
AI
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images, sounds and code history and found none.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.Not on Modrinth.
