Better Time Warp
by renatskayt
Better Time Warp lets a player sleep through the night while the rest of the world keeps running faster, so crops, furnaces and hoppers keep working during the skip.
What it does
When a player lies in a bed, the mod moves the day forward mathematically instead of freezing time until morning. Crops grow through a temporary random tick speed boost, and furnaces, hoppers and brewing stands get extra updates, so the default skip no longer leaves them idle. Sleeping during the day also fast-forwards time, and the mod wakes the player once the work is done.
Most sleep mods raise the server tick rate to 200 or more, which slows the game down. Better Time Warp does not touch TPS: the server stays at 20 TPS, and only block entity ticks are accelerated. Mob AI and entity physics keep their normal speed. The mod is built for Forge and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 and is not open source, under All rights reserved.
Key features
Time skip with working blocks
Crops grow, furnaces smelt and hoppers move items while the night passes, instead of the world sitting still.
Daytime sleep
A bed can be used during the day to fast-forward time, with the player woken once the skip is complete.
Steady server tick rate
The server holds 20 TPS because only block entity ticks and crop growth are sped up, not mob AI or entity physics.
Configurable behavior
A config file lets server owners adjust how the time skip works.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Survival farms
Crops and smelting continue during the night, so a farm does not stall while the player sleeps.
Multiplayer servers
Server owners who want sleep to matter without lag from simulation-heavy sleep mods can keep the 20 TPS target.
Who it’s for: Players who want sleep to advance the world, and server owners who need the skip without a tick rate penalty.
How it compares
Skip Sleep is Forge-only for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, client and server, and not open source under All rights reserved, so it covers the same version range. Time Nap is Forge for 1.20.1 only, client and server, and not open source under All rights reserved. KeepSmelting is server-side only for 1.20.1, released under the MIT License and open source, so players can join without installing it. Better Time Warp differs by keeping the server at 20 TPS and accelerating only block entities and crops.
