The first release.

Hallowed Nights

• From October 15 to November 5 every night is a Hallowed Night; the rest of the year, one full moon in four. Seasonal, always, full moons only or manual, in the config.
• A violet sky, fog and light, a swollen orange Harvest Moon, drifting embers and autumn leaves, and owls, wind, chimes and whispers. A banner at dusk.
• The Witching Hour (midnight to 3 AM): twelve tolls of a bell, a banner, a vignette, and twice the spirits.
• Zombies and skeletons spawn in costume: carved pumpkins and lit jack o'lanterns with the new faces.

Trick-or-treating

• Treat Pail: hold it out to a villager or wandering trader on a Hallowed Night. Treats go into the pail; a costume on your head earns more and makes treats likelier.
• Six harmless tricks, each one switchable: bat burst, pumpkin head, levitation, spook, vanishing act and sticky fingers.

Candy

• Eight candies: Candy Corn, Caramel Apple, Ghost Gummy, Pumpkin Truffle, Witch's Lollipop, Bat Wing Licorice, Eyeball Jawbreaker and Soul Toffee, each with its own effect.
• Sugar Rush stacks into Sugar Rush II, then a Sugar Crash. New effects: Sugar Rush, Sugar Crash, Spooked and Spirit Ward.
• Monsters killed on a Hallowed Night drop candy, costumed ones always.

Carved faces

• Shears carve eight faces into any pumpkin (sneak to go back); a torch lights it, a soul torch makes a Soul Jack o'Lantern. 24 wearable blocks.
• Lit jack o'lanterns, vanilla ones included, keep spirits away within 12 blocks (soul ones 20).

Spirits and will-o'-the-wisps

• Spirits swoop through walls on Hallowed Nights and leave you Spooked. They drop Ectoplasm and fade at dawn.
• Will-o'-the-wisps lead you to a Hallowed Cache. Cursed (violet) wisps lead into an ambush with a better cache.

The Hollow Horseman

• Wake a Cursed Pumpkin at the Witching Hour and the Horseman rises: a two-phase boss with his own boss bar and banners.
• Mounted: scythe sweeps, flaming jack o'lanterns, and charges you can stun against a wall. On foot below half health: he calls spirits and throws his own burning head.
• Drops the Reaper Scythe (Reap harvests and replants crops around you) or the Horseman's Head (Night Vision and Spirit Ward), Ectoplasm, a candy piñata, and sometimes the music disc or another Cursed Pumpkin.
• He rides away at dawn.

Everything else

• Witch Hat, and Music Disc: Witching Hour, an original waltz.
• 14 advancements, /hallowed commands, and commented configs (config/hallowed/hallowed.json and client.json) with /hallowed reload.
• Every texture and the music were made for Hallowed, along with most of its sounds; around 30 sound events, all with subtitles.
