Celestial Events

A Celestial Event (天象) is a phenomenon the whole server shares. One runs at a time, chosen at random after a quiet interval, each with a sky of its own and a rule of its own. Nobody triggers them and nobody owns them — the heavens keep their own schedule, and /celestial tells you what is overhead and how long is left.

The schedule

After each event ends — or after boot, if none is running yet — the scheduler waits a random point in that band, then starts one, chosen at random weighted by each event's own Weight among those currently enabled. Only one event runs at a time.

Spirit Tide

灵潮 — every Spirit Vein on the server regenerates 2.5× faster for fifteen minutes.

A tide lifts every meditation spot at once rather than a favored few. It does not raise any chunk's tier or its ceiling — a common vein still caps where it always did, it simply refills toward that cap much faster. The practical effect is that a spot you had drained flat becomes worth sitting on again immediately, and a group all cultivating in the same region stops competing for the same vein.

Meteor Shower

流星 — some of the ground turns out to have been hit.

While a shower runs, roughly 3% of the chunks a cultivator meditates in turn out to hold a fallen meteor — that chunk's Spirit Vein is lifted to a rich vein holding 2,000 Qi for as long as the shower lasts, then settles back to whatever it truly was.

At 2,000 Qi a meteor site clears the 750 breakthrough bar with room to spare, which is the real prize: a shower can hand an ordinary patch of ground the one property it never had.

Blood Moon

血月 — the sky favors one road and turns against the other.

This applies in every fight, not only in fights between the two paths — against mobs, in duels, in a sect war, everywhere. A Blood Moon is the twelve minutes in which a demonic cultivator's grievances get settled.

It requires Path-Enabled in DaoConfig.json and reads whichever path the attacker currently walks. An unaligned cultivator — the mortal middle road — is unaffected in either direction. See Karma and the two paths.

Beast Tide

兽潮 — the wilds converge on a defended hall.

A Beast Tide is a siege: waves of creatures throw themselves at a sect hall or Cave Abode, capped by a boss "lord," until the site's defended beacon breaks or holds. It is non-lethal by default, and settles on the beacon's integrity — the defenders who hold it earn contribution, and a site that falls sees its Spirit Vein weakened for a time. See Beast Tide for the full mechanics; this page only tracks it as one of the events the scheduler can pick.

Event World Bosses

v0.10.1 Four of the mod's public celestial events now carry a real chance of manifesting their own themed boss the moment they begin — no Storm Omen-style opt-in, the sky itself is the warning:

• Blood Moon's own boss is both more likely to appear and pays out more than the others — the richest of the four, matching how much rarer and harsher that event already reads.
• A cultivator whose realm is not yet deep enough for the fight still lands every blow — their damage simply is not credited toward the reward, with one quiet notice rather than a wall stopping them outright.
• The existing Calamity Beast is completely unaffected by any of this. It still wins any collision with an event boss outright, and every one of its own numbers — health, reward, timing — is untouched.

An open registry

The four above are the shipped set, not the whole set. Celestial Events are an open registry: an add-on can hang another phenomenon off the same scheduler, the same weighted pick, the same sky-override machinery and the same /celestial output, without touching the mod. See Registries.

/celestial list prints every registered event and whether the scheduler may currently pick it — including anything an add-on contributed.

Tuning

Everything above lives in CelestialConfig.json. Each of the four has its own -Enabled, its own Weight in the random pick, its own duration, and its own -Weather field naming the Weather asset for its sky (blank uses the shipped one). Celestial-Enabled is the master switch.
