Somnium Reale
by dannytaylor
Somnium Reale adds a new dimension that players reach by sleeping, a place where some ways of moving and seeing feel more real than in the overworld.
What it does
Sleeping opens a route into a separate dimension, a world the author describes as one where things are not quite as they are remembered. Players explore it as a new area with its own terrain and atmosphere, separate from the surface world they left behind.
The mod targets Minecraft 1.21.8 and runs on Fabric Loader with Fabric API, which is required. It is also published for Quilt on the same version. Both client and server need it, so a multiplayer server and every player must install it. Its code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, so the project is open source, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Iris Shaders and Mod Menu are optional.
Key features
Sleep-based dimension entry
Sleeping in a bed is the way into the mod's new dimension, which gives the bed a role beyond skipping the night.
Unfamiliar exploration
The dimension is built as a place where familiar things feel different, so exploring it differs from the overworld.
Dimension terrain
The new dimension adds its own landscape for players to travel through and explore.
Fabric and Quilt builds
Files are published for Fabric and Quilt, covering 1.21.8, and the Fabric file is the newer release.

Use cases
Exploring a new dimension
A player who has finished the overworld can sleep to enter the dimension and explore its terrain as a separate area.
Multiplayer dimension travel
A server owner can add the mod so several players can use the sleep route together, since both sides need the mod.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners on Minecraft 1.21.8 who want a sleep-triggered dimension added to survival or multiplayer worlds.
