World Chaos Rising

Quickstart

1. Install the add-on by applying both the Behavior Pack and Resource Pack to your world before loading it.
2. Load or create a world — on world load a message confirms the end-of-world timeline is active.
3. Check your HUD — the action bar always shows the current day, phase name, active hazards, and a reminder to run /cataclysm:status.
4. Run /cataclysm:status at any time (no operator permission required) to see a full breakdown of the current day, phase, Blood Moon state, last disaster, and all upcoming milestones.
5. Survive the first night — Blood Moon purge waves start immediately on Night 1. Every hostile mob gains extra pressure, and passive animals and villagers also become dangerous.
6. Plan ahead — note the milestone days (4, 7, 8, 10, 20) and prepare before each one hits.

Overview

World Chaos Rising transforms your Minecraft world into an escalating apocalypse driven entirely by the world's day count. As days accumulate, new permanent rule changes stack on top of each other and disasters strike with increasing frequency and ferocity. There is no ceiling — the longer you survive, the worse things get.

What It Adds

Phases

Each phase unlocks at a specific day and persists for the rest of the game. Phases stack — later phases add to earlier ones, they do not replace them.

Disasters

Four types of catastrophes strike near players on a timer. Frequency and severity scale with the day count:

• Earthquake — ground-shaking destruction around players
• Tornado — powerful vortex that tears through the environment
• Asteroid Impact — fiery projectile strikes from above
• Volcanic Eruption — eruption of molten material near players

Blood Moon Purge

During the night (and permanently from Day 10 onward), purge waves spawn mobs near every player. Passive mobs — villagers, wandering traders, farm animals, pets, and more — are also turned hostile during purges. From Day 20, purge waves include the most dangerous mobs: ravagers, pillagers, vindicators, and more.

How To Use

HUD & Status

• The action bar updates every second showing: current day, phase name, active hazards (Blood Moon pressure, water boiling, beds exploding, darkness), and a /cataclysm:status reminder.
• /cataclysm:status — available to all players, no operator rights needed. Prints full details: day, phase, Blood Moon state, last disaster type, and countdown status for every milestone.

Blood Moon Purge

• Purge waves fire roughly every 12 seconds at night (scaling faster with days).
• From Day 10, purges run continuously regardless of time of day.
• Every living creature — including normally passive animals and villagers — becomes a threat during purge waves.

Disaster Events

• Disasters strike on a roughly 20-second cycle, growing more frequent as days increase.
• A [Cataclysm] chat announcement names each disaster as it triggers.
• Disasters spawn near players, so spreading out across a large area does not help avoid them.

Milestone Hazards

Day 4 — Shattered Moon The moon shatters, amplifying purge intensity and increasing the frequency and damage of asteroid impacts for the rest of the game.

Day 7 — Boiling Seas Any open water near a player periodically converts to lava blocks. Rivers, oceans, and lakes become impassable fire hazards. Relocate away from water sources before Day 7 if possible.

Day 8 — Rest Denied Attempting to interact with any bed summons a TNT explosion at that location. Beds can no longer be used to sleep or set spawn. Destroy your beds before Day 8 and find alternative spawn-point strategies.

Day 10 — Perpetual Darkness The sun no longer rises. All players receive a permanent Darkness effect (with Night Vision to compensate for navigation). Purge waves now run around the clock — there is no safe daytime.

Day 20 — World Chaos All disaster timers accelerate dramatically. Purge mob pools upgrade to include the most dangerous enemies in the game. This is the final, sustained crisis state.

Abilities And Mechanics

Chaos Scaling

The mod uses a chaosScale multiplier tied to the current day. The higher the day, the shorter the intervals between disasters and purge waves. By Day 20 and beyond, catastrophes overlap almost continuously.

Perpetual Darkness (Day 10+)

Players receive a looping Darkness effect and Night Vision simultaneously — you can see, but the oppressive atmosphere remains. This cannot be removed by drinking milk or other means while the mod is active.

Bed Explosion

From Day 8, right-clicking any bed instantly cancels the sleep action and spawns a TNT block above the bed, triggering a large explosion. The bed block itself is also destroyed. This applies to all bed colors.

Water-to-Lava Conversion (Day 7+)

Every 8 seconds, a scan converts water blocks near each player into lava. This is irreversible — lava placed this way behaves like normal lava. Avoid building near or over water after Day 6.

Progression And Strategy

General tips:

• Keep /cataclysm:status handy to check exactly what's coming next.
• Build underground or in enclosed spaces to reduce exposure to tornadoes and asteroid impacts.
• Do not rely on villages for shelter — villagers become enemies during Blood Moon purges.
• The chaos scale only increases; there is no way to reset the day count without starting a new world.
