After Hours
After Hours stretches each night in the game to ten times its usual length, and it makes beds explode in the Nether and the End, as the mod's name hints.
What it does
Nights last ten times longer than in vanilla, so a single game day is followed by ten nights' worth of darkness before dawn returns. The mod runs on the server only, so players join without installing anything. Its latest Fabric file is 1.0.1 for 1.21.11, published 2026-01-04, and the code is available as source under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, which does not make it open source.
Key features
Longer nights
Each night lasts roughly ten times as long as a standard night, slowing the pace of day and night cycles.
Explosive beds
Beds explode when used in the Nether and the End, matching how those dimensions already treat them.
Two major features
The mod centers on the stretched night cycle and the bed behavior, and nothing else is added.
