Night time

The Day and night cycle consists of 24 hours in the game, but 24 minutes in real life. Day time is longer than night time by 6 minutes, making day 15 real minutes, and night 9 minutes.

Night can be dreaded by many players who need materials such as wood, usually to finish building a house, since stronger monsters come out at night. The most common monster to be seen at night is a Zombie, which can be extremely annoying to new players to the game, without any armour. Even players with some armour can find zombies quite annoying if they don't have items that helps increase their jumping ability, such as a Cloud in a bottle, or a Shiny red balloon, because zombies can jump, and get increasingly annoying if you can't get past them. These two items increase jumping ability, making it easier to get over annoying monsters.

There are many more monsters that spawn at night. Demon eyes are sort of mini heat seeking bombs, that follow you everywhere. If you go past to many, they will continue following you until they attack you, which gets extremely annoying when there are large amounts.

Harpy are found in the sky, during both day and night, but tend to get more...annoying during the night. If you are searching for a sky island and get to the top of it at night, the Harpies will start attacking you non-stop. It can get VERY aggrivating, as well as dangerous.

Dr. Bones and the Groom are both monsters who look extremely similar to a zombie, yet have much higher defense, and each drop a vanity item. Dr. Bones drops an archeologist hat, and groom drops a top hat. Both monsters are very strong, with much higher defense than the normal zombie as well. Beginners may think they will be as easy to kill as a zombie, and attack, but will most likely fail because of lack of defense and a good weapon.

Goldfish and bunnies are both completely useless, but if the goldfish is killed, you can store it in your inventory and eat it for a certain amount of health restored. They swim and roam around randomly, with absolutley no purpose. That is until a blood moon comes. When a blood moon rises, these two creatures become corrupt goldfish and corrupt bunnies, which can then attack you. When you kill a corrupt bunny, it may drop a rabbit head, which is an item to wear on your head. This only happens during a blood moon, and when the creature enters the Corruption.
