The Midnight

The Midnight is a dark and dreary place of eternal night. --- The Midnight is a Minecraft mod, brought to you by Cryptic Mushroom, that adds a new, mysterious and scary dimension to explore. It is a *dimension of darkness;* the only light comes from crystals and the various life of the dimension. You may travel willingly to this dimension, though you may find yourself being unwillingly dragged into this strange and hostile world... ## 🚪 Enter the Midnight The dimension can be entered through a **Rift**. These have changed in design in some versions, so specific instructions can be found below: **Minecraft 1.19.4 and later:** You will need to defeat a mysterious new mob found in the overworld. This creature's demise will allow Rifts to open randomly at night similarly to the earliest versions of the mod. In this version, however, they will only appear above ground level.\* **Minecraft 1.12.2 and 1.14.4:** To enter, you will need to find a glowing, red rift. These will spawn randomly during the night both above ground and in caves. Rifts are often accompanied by unfriendly figures known as rifters. **Minecraft 1.15.2:** To enter, you will need to find a red heap of mass in the overworld. At nighttime, the portal will activate, and you will be able to traverse into the Midnight. Though before you go into The Midnight, make sure to be prepared! The Midnight does not welcome newcomers. \*Rifts in the latest version of the game are currently experimental and are still undergoing active reworks. # ❓ The 1.19 Rewrite You might've noticed that we had been dormant for quite some time. Apart from our Discord server, almost all of our platforms had been quiet and lacking activity. During this time, however, we were hard at work rewriting the entire mod from scratch. The result of our efforts is our recent release of **The Midnight** for **1.19.4** and experimental versions for **1.20.1**! If you are interested in chatting with us directly about the ongoing development of the mod, we encourage you to join our Discord server, read our #about-us channel, and ask us any additional questions you might have in #chat. [![The Midnight Discord Server](https://discordapp.com/api/guilds/1261829605950619743/widget.png?style=banner3)](https://discord.gg/qE5Z4HYWQw) ## 🕑 Regarding Previous Versions To address the elephant in the room, *yes, we have completely dropped support for all versions of the Midnight prior to the 1.19 release.* This is to allow us to focus on the development of the current, rewritten version without needing to worry about old bugs. 0.5.12 will continue to remain the last version of classic Midnight. Moving forward, the Midnight has opted to continue development as a closed-source project, meaning that the source code is no longer publicly available. However, the source code is still available for the classic version of the Midnight **[on GitLab](https://gitlab.com/cryptic-mushroom/minecraft/the-midnight-classic).** That code still is, and will continue to be, licensed under the [GNU General Public Licence v3.0](https://choosealicense.com/licenses/gpl-3.0/), so you are free to do whatever you want with that old code given that it follows the licensing of that license. - If you want to use this source code, we simply ask that you include a link back to the Midnight's mod page. - A common misconception is that since the repo is labeled as GPLv3, the assets (textures, sounds, etc.) are covered by the license as well. However, this is not the case. **You do not have permission to use any of our assets, old or new.** A notice in the repo saying that the assets are ARR does not exist, and that is merely an oversight on our part in the past. - If you are a programmer and want to work with us to resolve a known issue that you have expertise in, please join our Discord server and help us out! # 📜 Credits The Midnight would not be possible without all of the effort put in by each person who worked on it. While every individual may not be listed on the mod platform's "members" sidebar, we still want to acknowledge and honor the efforts of *everyone* who worked on this mod. ## 🌚 The Midnight Team The team behind the Midnight is, who would've guessed, The Midnight Team!
