Democratic illusion

by Onako2

Democratic illusion lets VIP players sleep without waiting for everyone else, so a night can pass once the set share of non-VIP players is in bed.

FabricForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.17 – 1.20.6

What it does

Server owners tag players as VIPs, and a VIP who gets into a bed skips the night as long as the sleep threshold is met by ordinary players. The threshold is set in the datapack, with the default at 50% of players in bed; the override sets it to 0% and resets to 50% when removed. Other players do not see any notice that a VIP is sleeping, so the change stays out of the way of normal play.

Because the mod is a datapack, it works on Fabric, Forge and Quilt without a separate build for each loader. Only the server needs it installed, and server owners can add or remove VIP tags while the world runs. The datapack is placed in the world's datapacks folder by drag and drop, and removing the zip removes everything it stores. The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for 1.17 – 1.20.6, with the latest file for 1.20.2.

Key features

  1. VIP sleep override

    Tagged VIP players can sleep without waiting for other players, and the night advances once the sleep threshold is reached.

  2. Adjustable sleep threshold

    The required share of players in bed defaults to 50% and can be set to 0% through the override.

  3. Silent VIP sleeping

    Other players receive no message when a VIP is sleeping, so the change does not show in their chat.

  4. Add and remove VIP tags

    Server owners can grant or revoke the VIP tag on a player with a command.

Use cases

Smaller servers with a mixed player base

Owners who want regular supporters to skip nights without affecting everyone else can tag those players and leave the threshold at its default.

Who it’s for: Server owners who want a subset of players to skip the night faster, without changing the rules for the rest of the server.

How it compares

Full comparison

Server Sleep works on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.17 – 26.3, and is needed on the server, with the client optional without the other needing it. It is open source under the MIT License. No Sleep also works on the server alone, with clients free to leave it out, but is released under the Apache License 2.0, is not open source, and covers only 1.19 – 1.19.3.

Questions

Does Democratic illusion need to be installed on the client?

No. Only the server needs the mod, and players can join without it.

Which loaders does Democratic illusion support?

It is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, and it is also available as a data pack, so it runs on any of those loaders or on a vanilla server with the pack installed.

How is the datapack installed?

Drag the zip into the datapacks folder of the world. Removing the zip uninstalls it, and the order matters for 1.17 and higher.

What the author says

This datapack makes 'vips' be able to sleep without waiting for other players. When no 'vip' is sleeping only 50% have to sleep. (Other players won't notice if a VIP is sleeping:) ) In order to install this datapack you have to play on 1.17 or higher. Just drag'n'drop the zip into your datapacks folder. To uninstall…
