Obsidian Last Dawn

Quickstart

1. Load into a new world and watch your action bar — it displays your current day, evolution percent, Blood Moon tier, Night Frenzy status, and mutation state at all times.
2. Every vanilla hostile mob (zombies, skeletons, creepers, etc.) is replaced by Evolved Zombies. Expect them immediately.
3. Find Carcer City to scavenge military loot from ruined safe houses: /locate biome com_obsidian_last_dawn_sj53e7n6:carcer_city
4. Craft an Apocalypse Rifle at a crafting table as soon as you have iron ingots, and hold it — aim and use (right-click / tap the use button) to fire.
5. Build your base out of obsidian. Mutants cannot destroy it during night frenzies.
6. Survive until dawn. Bosses spawn daily — be ready.

Overview

Obsidian Last Dawn transforms the overworld into a post-apocalyptic survival experience. Two custom biomes reshape the landscape, every hostile mob is replaced by evolving zombie mutants, and a scripted escalation system drives the world toward an ever-more-dangerous state as days pass. Bosses arrive on a schedule, nightly hordes grow larger, and obsidian is your only guaranteed shelter material.

What It Adds

Custom Biomes

New Blocks

• Ashphalt — grey asphalt-like ground block found in the Apocalypse Wastes.

How To Use

Rifles

Hold the Apocalypse Rifle or Military Rifle in your hand. Aim at a target and press Use (right-click on Java-style controls, tap the Use button on touch). The rifle fires a hitscan shot at the entity in your crosshair up to its maximum range. There is a short cooldown between shots (longer for the Apocalypse Rifle, shorter for the Military Rifle). Both rifles have durability and will eventually break.

Medkits

Hold a Medkit and press Use to consume it. One Medkit is removed from your stack and you immediately receive Regeneration and Absorption effects. Keep several in your hotbar during boss fights and frenzy nights.

Obsidian Breaker

Used as both a melee weapon and a mining tool. It deals strong melee damage and can destroy obsidian-tier blocks efficiently — useful for reshaping your own obsidian fortress or breaking into protected areas.

Locating Biomes

Use the /locate biome commands listed above to find the custom biomes. Carcer City safe-house ruins are your primary source of early military loot before you can craft better gear.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft all mod items at a standard crafting table.

Apocalypse Rifle

Military Rifle (requires an Apocalypse Rifle as a component)

Obsidian Breaker

Medkit (crafts 2)

Loot drops:

• Evolved Zombies drop rotten flesh and rarely an iron ingot, carrot, or potato.
• Military Boss drops an iron axe (sometimes enchanted).
• Zombie King Kong drops a saddle (when killed by a player).
• Zombie Wither drops a sculk catalyst.
• Medkits can also drop from vindicators and during raids.

Abilities And Mechanics

Evolution & Blood Moon System

Each Minecraft day, the world's evolution level increases by 12%, capping at 100% (APEX) on day 8+. This drives the Blood Moon tier (1–9), calculated from the current evolution percentage. All values are displayed live on your action bar:

Day X | Evolution Y% | Blood Moon TX/9 | Night Frenzy: ACTIVE/calm | Mutation: growing/APEX

Night Frenzy

Every night (in-game time ~13,000–23,000), Night Frenzy becomes ACTIVE. While active:

• Waves of Evolved Zombies spawn around each player, scaling with the Blood Moon tier — up to roughly 100 mutants at high tiers.
• Nearby mutants will break common blocks (planks, cobblestone, dirt, glass, logs) adjacent to them, demolishing unprotected bases.
• Obsidian is immune to block-breaking — build your walls from obsidian to stay safe.

Evolved Zombies

All vanilla hostile mobs (zombie, husk, drowned, skeleton, creeper, spider) are replaced by Evolved Zombies on spawn. Each receives a deterministic V-#### nametag based on its position and the current day. They can break doors, climb, and occasionally stack as jockeys. They drop standard loot.

Boss Schedule

Bosses spawn near players on a timer:

Progression And Strategy

Days 1–2 — Establish a base. Your first priority is obsidian. Mine it immediately or raid Carcer City ruins for early materials. Craft an Apocalypse Rifle once you have iron ingots; it gives you ranged capability against the first Zombie King Kong that appears.

Days 2–7 — Escalating threat. Evolution climbs 12% per day. Nightly frenzies grow larger. Upgrade to the Military Rifle as soon as you can gather diamonds and an existing Apocalypse Rifle — its longer range and higher damage matter when managing large hordes.

Day 8+ (APEX). Evolution is maxed and Blood Moon is at tier 9. Frenzies can push near 100 mutants around you each night. Ensure your base is fully obsidian-walled before this point. Stock Medkits for the Zombie Wither on day 20.

Key tips:

• Obsidian is the only block mutants cannot destroy during Night Frenzy — any other material is at risk.
• The Obsidian Breaker lets you mine and reshape obsidian walls without a diamond pickaxe, making late-game base modifications practical.
• Medkits grant both Regeneration and Absorption — use them proactively before boss fights rather than reactively when already low.
• During the day it is calm — use daylight hours to scavenge Carcer City, mine obsidian, and craft before the next frenzy night.
