Day Sleep
by SuperSirvu
Day Sleep lets players go to bed during daytime, and sleeping speeds the clock forward until morning arrives in a smooth, gradual way.
What it does
Vanilla Minecraft only lets players sleep at night. Day Sleep allows a bed to be used in daylight, and while a player sleeps the in-game time accelerates smoothly rather than jumping. Crops keep growing during that time, and villagers still restock their trades, so the skip does not leave the world stalled. The mod was written as a small addition to vanilla rather than a large overhaul, and it adds no new blocks, items or menus to the game.
The mod is aimed at multiplayer servers, where a single player may need to rest while others are active, and it avoids the usual problem of players waiting on a redstone timer or standing idle to pass the time. Day Sleep is built for Fabric only, runs on the client and the server, and is published for 1.21 – 1.21.11 in twelve release versions. The latest file, 1.21.11-1.0, was released on 2026-02-17, the same day the mod was first published. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Daytime sleep
A bed can be used during the day, so a player can skip forward without waiting for night to arrive.
Smooth time acceleration
While a player sleeps, the clock runs faster in stages, so the change in light is gradual.
Multiplayer behaviour
The skip suits servers where one person rests and others keep playing, without extra commands.
No added clutter
Day Sleep adds no new blocks, items or interface elements, so the vanilla game looks the same.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want to pass daytime quickly on Fabric, and server owners who want a small, vanilla-style sleep change without extra commands or menus.
How it compares
Can-I-Sleep-Now is a Fabric mod for 1.21.8 that is client-side only and under a custom license, so it changes nothing on servers. Sleep Control is a server-side only Fabric mod for 1.21 – 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, so players join without installing it. Day Sleep needs both the client and the server, which sets it apart from both.
