    I like the idea of the phantom attacking at any cost in a full moon. It adds more of a challenge.

    It makes tons of senses too, a new moon is a black moon which means it should be darker, which of course means more mobs.

    And the creation of temporary portals that can bring mobs from other dimensions

    and make it so the shulker can hit you through these portals for the giggles

    There should be A Blood Moon Event, But I agree!

    Okay but I feel that if you make it the New moon specifically then it would just get annoying.

    How about a special Eclipse event that could just rarely happen after a certain number of days?

    I like this idea, it sounds great on paper, but it needs more depth. Every new moon sounds like a bit much, every one in eight days would get annoying. Maybe it could happen for a blood moon, eclipse, or something else could trigger this, maybe every thirty-second day. Second, wouldn't you just be able to sleep through this? It could be easily skipped just by sleeping, but maybe it would be a loss to do so, or you just can't because, 'you're more prone to getting a nightmare' and can't sleep. Maybe mobs could drop better or more loot, like zombies having a 10% chance of dropping gold. Or villagers could have special trades during that event, and maybe if it were an eclipse, the villagers would have some cool shades.

    A lot of people don't know this, but during a full moon mobs spawn in greater numbers, and better equipped.

    The new moon idea is better than the full moon because there is less light

    That'd be a cool thing for Hardcore mode!

    This isn't something I'd be excited for. Phantoms are already extremely hard to deal with in multiplayer, and I wouldn't want to see them increase in occurrence. Further on the note of multiplayer, given how rarely people sleep through the night, having a night where you'd be forced to stay indoors would be a major source of dead-time that could be spent furthering building projects. I can't imagine how difficult this would be to deal with in the early game.

    I think this would be a very difficult thing to balance, especially given the current monster spawnrate. I already find it irritating to fend off zombies while I'm working on projects, so adding to that frustration wouldn't be welcome.

    The mob spawn rate was cool but phantoms are strong, I dont want this affecting peoples enjoyment of the game and their time being spent...

    I have to agree with another user from above. This is nice on paper, but lets think of what would actually happen. 

    Mobs spawning at an increased rate and in larger groups is, to my knowledge a thing already depending on the moon cycle. Just not a major difference. Anyway, I see this more being an issue in Multiplayer than I do Singleplayer. Like another user said, with the night being so dangerous and without insensitive to fight the mobs, this would become an annoyance to builders or adventurers who are otherwise now forced to stay inside if they can't handle the mess. 

    If this is added, I would make it either a unique approach to Hardcore mode and cut it there. Just because of how difficult this is to avoid in Multiplayer. UNLESS, there is a command to disable the event that only Server Admins can use. Then it can go right into the main game. 

    I digress.

    hmm, I like the idea but I'd like to change it from a full moon to a blood/red moon. This could be not within the cycle of moon phases but would occur a little less regularly and randomly. When it is there, it would be a little bigger/closer to the land and the sky would turn a dark red (hex code: #800505).

    The full moon already means more mobs with armour on. The new moon should be a night when nearly no mobs spawn on the surface and sound is naturally turned down. You could also make it not count towards the insomnia.

    So how about an endgame event: "The Blood Moon". After you defeat the ender dragon you collect the egg and build a blood moon summoning structure. The blood moon could then be triggered every 27 to 30 days or immediately if you give it an item.

    It could be completely optional, turned off at any time, and could be completely disabled on servers.

    You would be blocked from sleeping, a message will appear saying: "You cannot sleep until the blood moon is over.". Exclusive hostile mobs and buffed enemies will spawn in waves like in raids. Untamed mobs ( that would exclude any breed or fed farm animals, as well as pets ) will become hostile to you and any villagers until the end of the event.

    And yes, I do know other people were suggesting this, just thought I'd add some detail.

    The moon could turn red and become a blood moon

    wonderful idea, but it would also be great that when it is a new moon the villages were celebrating for the new moon and that their prices go down every new moon it would be cool

    Yes, I too feel like Phantoms should be encountered more often. Nice!

    I like where you're going with this idea. I absolutely love events in any game I play. Events shake things up and break up the monotony of the game. They are also really fun. A reoccurring event could also be a good opportunity to get good items or something rare, and maybe even fight something rare (or just a cool variant of the current mobs). Maybe even a wave system, similar to the raid system. I feel that once I get good armor and weapons the combat becomes trivial and stale, even.

    However, I do agree with the others who are suggesting a random event instead of an event every single new moon. Also, I think one of 2 things should happen when you try to sleep: You either get a message saying you can't sleep now or you get a warning message informing you that, if you go to sleep, you will be skipping the event. They could also make it to where if you sleep and skip the event, it happens again the next night and so on.

    I like the idea. But maybe a blood moon will spawn mobs way more.

    How about on full moons, all untamed wolfs are naturally aggressive.
