Fireside
by colcheco
Fireside lets players skip the night by sitting by a campfire until a chosen time of day arrives, without setting a spawn point.
What it does
Players who sleep or wait by campfires can advance the clock to a selected time, such as midnight, morning, noon or night, and can clear the weather at the same time. A key cycles through the available time-skip options, and a configuration screen sets the duration, with backslash and enter as defaults. Fabric API is required, so it must be installed alongside Fireside on Fabric.
Campfires are the mechanic at the center of the mod. Campfires exposed to rain can be randomly extinguished, and soul campfires or campfires with high smoke sources, such as hay placed underneath, are more likely to go out. If a campfire goes out before the time is reached, the skip is not completed.
Fireside is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric on 26.1.2 and 26.2, and the latest build is 1.3.1+26.2 for 26.2, released under the MIT License as open source.
Key features
Campfire-based time skip
Players waiting by campfires advance the clock to the nearest selected time of day.
Weather clearing
The skip can also set the weather to clear, which is useful when rain keeps players from sleeping.
Campfire extinguishing
Campfires exposed to rain or placed near high smoke sources can go out randomly, which can cancel a skip.
Cycle key and configuration
A key cycles through time-skip options, and a settings screen controls the duration with preset keys.

Who it’s for: Players who want to skip time by camping rather than by bed, and server owners who run survival worlds where sleeping is limited by weather or monsters.
How it compares
Time & Weather Toggle is client-side only and has a custom license without open source terms, published for 26.2. BedTweaks is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and built for 1.21, so players do not need to install it. Server Sleep Mod is also server-side only and open source under the MIT License, but it covers 1.19 – 1.19.4 instead.
