gooddreams.
With gooddreams installed, sleeping opens dreams that lead into liminal-style dimensions, each reached through a dream sequence.
What it does
Sleeping in a bed starts a dream, and the dream carries the player into a dimension that has its own layout and atmosphere. The dimensions are described by the author as liminal-esque, and the author states that some of them are generated through sequences that run before a player arrives. Several dimensions are meant to be visited and then left, while others can be explored at length.
The mod is intended for singleplayer play, although multiplayer is available and the author reports that playtesting turned up a number of bugs. Some dimensions are noticeably laggy, and the author has said that the lag comes from how their sequences generate. The author recommends a low render distance, between 2 and 8, and notes that a few dimensions exceed that limit. Users who want a smoother experience can pair the mod with Embeddium, which is an optional dependency.
gooddreams is published for Forge 1.20.1 as a Forge mod. The server and every player need the mod installed. The license is All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source. The latest Forge file is 1.86.8 for 1.20.1, published on 2026-09-16 on the beta channel. The first release dates from 2026-03-14. The author reports that the current release is being rebuilt as a revamped version, and that a new release is expected within one to two months.
