Better Server Sleep

by nugrevan

Better Server Sleep lets one sleeping player on a multiplayer server skip the night for everyone, with an optional notification when it happens.

What it does

The mod changes how sleeping works on a multiplayer server. Only one player needs to be asleep for the night to pass, instead of the usual share of all players. Only the server has to run it, and players may leave it out. The same effect can be reached with the gamerule playersSleepingPercentage set to 1, so a data pack can stand in for the mod. Builds cover 1.21.4 – 26.3 for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

Key features

  1. One sleeper skips the night

    A single player in bed is enough to advance the night on a multiplayer server.

  2. Data pack alternative

    The same behavior can be set with the playersSleepingPercentage gamerule, without installing the mod.

  3. Sleep notification

    A small message appears when the night is skipped, so the other players see what happened.

Questions

Does Better Server Sleep need to be installed on the client?

No. It is required on the server and optional for players. Only the server has to run it, and players may skip it.

Can the same result be reached without the mod?

Yes. Setting the playersSleepingPercentage gamerule to 1 produces the same behavior on a data pack setup.

What the author says

This datapack/mod make sleeping easier on multiplayer by needing only one player to sleep to skip the night! Alternatively you could use the command " /gamerule playersSleepingPercentage 1 " to make the exact same thing, but you know, this datapack have a little notification when reloaded so it's cooler!
