Jungle Moon

A **Jungle Moon** is a common randomly occurring Hardmode event that takes place over the course of an entire night (7:30 PM to 4:30 AM) It causes severe hazards for its duration: Enemy spawns increase, even near the player's home and NPCs (where enemies do not usually spawn), Zombies become able to open doors, Bunnies, Penguins, and Goldfishes transform into murderous enemies, along with other effects (see below). Jungle Moons are signalled by the message "The Jungle Moon is rising..." in the bottom-left corner of the screen, and the moon, sky, water, and rain will appear green for the duration of the event. A greenish-brown filter will also be present in all above-ground areas.

A Jungle Moon will only occur if the world is in Hardmode as soon as the Wall of Flesh has been defeated, and only on nights when a moon is present (any night except a new moon). Given those criteria, a Jungle Moon has an 11.11% (1 in 9) chance of occurring, or by using the Jungle Moon Tablet, or by consuming the Jungle Moon Potion at night.

## **Effects**

### **Enemies**

* The spawn rate of enemies on the surface increases extremely. Jungle Dripplers, Jungle Zombies, Dr. Bones, Jungle Clowns (if in Revenge Mode), and other Jungle Moon enemies have a chance to spawn. Enemies not only spawn faster, but much more are spawned that can normally exist on-screen at once. This works no matter the environment, so Corruption, Crimson, and Hallow enemies can also swarm even much more than they normally would, for example.
* Enemies can even spawn near NPCs and their houses, whereas those usually suppress enemy spawns. Player-placed walls are not necessarily safe during this event.
* Zombies or their counterparts, and other enemies can open doors.
* Goldfishes become Jungle Goldfish, Bunnies become Jungle Bunnies, and Penguins become Jungle Penguins. Those spawned from Statues are Jungle versions, and they do not revert to their regular versions after the Jungle Moon is over. If it is raining during the event, transformed Goldfish will flop around on the ground, instead of walking.

### **Other Effects**

* Deathweed blooms. Jungle Moons, Blood Moons, and Full Moons are the only times you can harvest Deathweed Seeds from Deathweed.
* Most NPCs have their own unique lines commenting on the event.
* As said before, water will turn green, including rain. A green filter will be applied to the screen as well, shifting the colours of all entities and light towards green and brown shades. This will also affect the projectile colours of many weapons.
* If Slayer God is summoned during the Jungle Moon event, Slayer God and his entities will turn into a darkgreen color, including Ghastly Bosses.

## **Notes**

* The Jungle Moon's effects on enemy spawn rates are more than the Blood Moon.
* Whether or not a Jungle Moon will occur is determined at dusk each night, or by using one of the two summoning items that summons this event.
* Every nightfall has an equal chance of being a Jungle Moon and does not change if the previous night has a Jungle Moon. It is possible to have any number of Jungle Moons in a row, and conversely, a Jungle Moon will not necessarily occur even over the course in many in-game weeks unless using the Jungle Moon Tablet or the Jungle Moon Potion.
* Unlike Blood Moons, water in an Ocean biome ***will*** turn green, the same like all other water in all biomes do.
* A Jungle Moon can happen in the middle of a Pirate Invasion or any other event. The invasion will still go on until it ends, then the Jungle Moon starts. A Jungle Moon can also occur during a Slime Rain.
* Jungle Moons occur at the same rate as Blood Moons, because they occur more often than Solar Eclipses.
* If the player chooses to, they can cancel a Jungle Moon by summoning the Pumpkin Moon, Frost Moon, or Blood Moon.

## **Trivia**

* A Jungle Moon is considered to be the Hardmode version of the Blood Moon.
