Evernight Siege Legion

Quickstart

1. Gather paper and an iron ingot.
2. Craft an Evernight Charter using .
3. Hold the Charter and use/interact with it (right-click / tap) to open the Evernight Charter menu.
4. Choose to pledge a truce if you want safety, or stay independent and prepare to defend yourself.
5. Watch the action bar — it tracks the current siege day, escalation level, and whether you're "Truce" or "Hunted."
6. Survive: as days pass, more Evernight Legionnaires spawn around you, even during the day.

Overview

Evernight Siege Legion introduces a relentless, ever-escalating enemy force: the Evernight Legion. Unlike normal hostile mobs, Legionnaires are not limited to nighttime — they hunt during the day as well, and their numbers grow the longer a world survives. Players can choose to negotiate a one-sided truce with the Legion using a craftable Charter, or refuse and fight through increasingly dangerous patrols.

What It Adds

• Evernight Legionnaire — a tough, undead humanoid enemy that spawns in monster-eligible biomes at any brightness level, day or night.
• Evernight Charter — a usable item that opens a menu to pledge or renounce a truce with the Legion.
• An ongoing siege system that tracks in-game days and steadily increases the number and strength of patrols spawning near players.
• An on-screen status display showing the current siege day, escalation tier, and truce status.

How To Use

• Crafting the Charter: Combine paper and an iron ingot as shown in the recipe below.
• Using the Charter: Hold it and interact/use it to bring up the Evernight Charter dialog. From here you can:
  • Accept the truce — Legionnaires will no longer target you directly.
  • Renounce the pledge — if already truced, this returns you to being actively hunted.
  • Keep my current path — closes the menu with no change.
• Reading the status bar: While the siege is active, your action bar shows:
  • Current siege Day
  • Escalation multiplier (increases the longer the world survives)
  • Whether you are currently Truce (safe) or Hunted (targeted)

Crafting And Obtaining

The Evernight Charter can only be crafted, not found naturally. It stacks to a single item at a time, so keep it in your inventory or hotbar for quick access whenever you want to check or change your truce status.

Abilities And Mechanics

Evernight Legionnaire

• Undead-type monster, 40 health, 7 attack damage.
• Can walk, climb, swim, open and break doors — very difficult to escape or wall off.
• Actively targets players who have not pledged the truce, as well as villagers, iron golems, and snow golems, within a wide detection radius.
• Spawns on the surface in monster-eligible biomes regardless of daylight, and periodically replaces nearby ordinary hostile mobs (zombies, skeletons, etc.) with Legionnaires.
• Defeated Legionnaires drop iron nuggets, and rarely iron ingots, carrots, or potatoes.
• A spawn egg is available for summoning Legionnaires directly.

The Siege Clock

• The mod tracks elapsed in-game time as a running "siege day" count that persists across sessions.
• As days pass, the siege escalates: more Legionnaire patrols spawn closer to players, and nearby hostile mobs are periodically swapped out for Legionnaires.
• Escalation is reflected in the action bar as a multiplier — higher tiers mean larger, more frequent patrols.

Progression And Strategy

• Early on, the siege is manageable: small patrols spawn occasionally, and ordinary hostile mobs are only sometimes replaced.
• Over time, patrol sizes grow (up to a capped maximum) and Legionnaires become more common than standard hostile mobs in your surroundings.
• Pledging the truce is the safest path for peaceful play — Legionnaires will ignore you, though villagers and golems may still be targeted nearby.
• Staying unpledged turns the world into an ongoing survival challenge: fortify your base, gear up with iron, and be ready to fight both day and night as the Legion's presence intensifies with each passing day.
• Because the siege never truly stops, long-term worlds should plan defenses (walls, lighting won't help since Legionnaires spawn regardless of brightness) and consider the truce if the pressure becomes overwhelming.
