Mystic Moon

I wonder what enchantments have been placed on the moon- It's all blue!

"The Mystic Moon is rising..."

A Mystic Moon is an event that takes place over the course of an entire night (from 7:30 PM to 4:30 AM), affecting only on the surface layer. A Mystic Moon is signaled by the status message "The Mystic Moon is rising..." in the chat. This event features several mystical-themed enemies, each with their own unique behavior and attacks. During the event, a blue glare-like effect can be seen in the background and a blue filter will be applied onto the screen while the player is on the surface.

Criteria

A Mystic Moon will naturally occur once the following criteria has been met:

• It will only occur if the world is in Hardmode.
• It will not occur if a Blood Moon naturally occurs, or a mechanical boss naturally spawns on that night.
  • Given those criteria, the occurring chance of a Mystic Moon is a 3/40 (7.5%) chance.

A Mystic Moon can be initiated manually at nighttime by using Turquoise Lens and does not require said criteria to be met.

Trivia
