What it does

Bad Dreams adds dream outcomes to sleep. The result depends on the light level where the player sleeps: a bright room, at light level 8 or higher, gives a chance of a good dream, while a dark room can bring a dangerous nightmare in which hostile mobs spawn nearby. Both outcomes are configurable. The mod adds no blocks or items and works with normal gameplay. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files cover 1.14.4 – 1.21.1 across seven release versions, under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Light-based dreams

    A bright room gives a chance of a good dream, where the player wakes up with a small reward.

  2. Dangerous nightmares

    A dark room can trigger a nightmare in which hostile mobs spawn near the sleeping player.

  3. Configurable outcomes

    The light threshold and the dream effects can be adjusted, and no new blocks or items are added.
