Blood Moon


 * "You can tell a Blood Moon is out when the sky turns red. There is something about it that causes monsters to swarm." &mdash;  The Guide 

On average, there is a 1/7 chance of a night being a Blood Moon night. The player will receive a notification in the bottom left of the screen "A Blood Moon is rising" and the sky will turn red.

During a blood moon the spawn rate of monsters increases and Zombies gain the ability to "knock down" doors, however they only open it, they do not destroy it.

It is advisable during early gameplay to stay somewhere out of the reach of monsters during a Blood Moon.

Players can benefit from Blood Moons if they kill the monsters and collect the coins which can result in a huge amount of coins, sometimes even more than a gold coin. Of course a player attempting to fight during the Blood Moon should be well prepared with potions and good armor/weapons.

A good way to survive a Blood Moon if a player is ill prepared or doesn't have the needed equipment yet is to get in a house and block the door with a Dirt block from the outside and with that preventing the zombies from opening the door.
