DayNap
by Nikrecs
Players who want the night to pass faster can let DayNap skip to morning once enough of them are asleep in the same dimension.
What it does
DayNap adds bed-based time skipping. When the configured share of non-spectator players in a dimension is sleeping, the server advances the in-game clock to the next morning. Sleeping during the day also moves time forward to the start of the night. The skip is applied gradually, with an easing curve that starts and finishes softer than a flat speed would, and a peak amount of ticks advanced per server tick controls how quickly the clock runs.
Several modes and thresholds are set in the config. Night-to-day skipping is an optional mode that stays off until a server owner turns it on; with it active, players leave their beds and have to lie down again once the skip finishes. Both directions can be enabled together, so a server may let half of its players skip the day and two thirds skip the night. The mod requires Architectury API to run.
DayNap is installed on the server only. Vanilla clients can join and play without it, and the mod works in singleplayer as well. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.19.2 – 26.3 under the MIT License. The project is not open source.
Key features
Bed-based time skipping
Players who lie down in a bed count toward the threshold, and the clock moves to morning once enough of them are asleep.
Daytime sleep
Sleeping during the day advances time forward so the night starts, which lets players jump straight to nightfall.
Configurable thresholds
The percentage of players needed to skip, and the modes that apply, can be changed in the config file.
Eased time transition
The clock speed eases in and out at the start and finish of a skip, and the peak tick amount per server tick is adjustable.

Lets players sleep through the day to jump straight to night. Optionally, it can also skip the night back to day, but that mode is disabled by default and requires players to get out of bed and lie down again after a day skip. Install on the server. Client installation is optional (vanilla clients can join and use it…
