Midnight Moment (Shader Addon)

Midnight Moment (Shader Addon)

A tiny datapack that plays a soft chime at midnight every night, for everyone in the Overworld.

It is made as an optional addon for the Luminol Republic Shader, whose Midnight Moment option puts on a meteor shower and brighter aurora at the same moment. Shaders can’t play sound, so this datapack adds the sound part. It also works on its own, without the shader.

Requires

• The Midnight Moment (Shader Addon) resource pack, which contains the sound.

Install

1. Put the zip (don’t unzip it) in your world’s datapacks folder, or pick it on the Create New World screen.
2. Enable the matching RP in Resource Packs.
3. Run /reload, or reopen the world.

Test it

Run /time set 17990 and wait a second or two.

Notes

• The chime plays once per midnight (day time 18000), with a 30-second cooldown so it can’t repeat.
• Only players in the Overworld hear it.
• Turn it down with the Ambient/Environment volume slider in Music & Sounds.
• It contains three ways to read the time of day, because this changed in recent Minecraft versions. The ones that don’t apply to your version are skipped automatically.
• Made for Minecraft 1.21.11 and newer.
