Calm Mornings
by TwinSouls
Calm Mornings is a server-side Forge and NeoForge mod that removes hostile mobs near a sleeping player when they wake up.
What it does
When a player wakes up, the mod despawns hostile mobs within a set radius around them. Mobs that carry equipment drop it before they are removed, so loot is not lost. Certain mobs are exempt from the despawn, and the list of exceptions is part of the configuration. The intent is to make the first moments of a morning less dangerous, since monsters that gathered during the night are cleared at once.
The mod is designed around the sleep cycle, so it fits survival worlds where players rely on beds to pass the night. It runs only on the server, which means players join without installing anything. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source. Files exist for Forge and NeoForge across 12 release versions 1.18 – 1.21.1, and the latest Forge file, 4.1.0, targets 1.20.1. Only the latest major version receives new features, while older versions get backported fixes for major bugs.
The source code and issue tracker are public, so problems and suggestions can be reported on the project's GitHub. Compatibility with other mods is a stated goal, and incompatibilities should be reported through the issue tracker.
Key features
Morning mob cleanup
Hostile mobs within a configurable radius of the player are despawned as soon as the player wakes up.
Equipment drops
Mobs holding equipment drop it before despawning, so items they carry are not destroyed with them.
Configurable exceptions
Specific mobs can be excluded from the despawn, so the server owner decides which monsters remain after waking.
Server-side operation
The mod runs on the server alone, so players connect without installing it.

What the author says
Calm Mornings will look for any Hostile mobs(_with notible exceptions_), within a specified radius around a player upon waking up, and despawn them. This was done to help "simulate" the movement of monsters during the night. No more creepers waiting right outside your doors, making your morning strolls a little calmer.
