Hypnos
by codelax
Hypnos is a Fabric utility that lets a sleep vote decide when the night is skipped on a server.
What it does
Hypnos counts how many players are in bed and skips the night once a set share of the online players are sleeping. The share is set by the playerPercentage option, and a message is shown to a player who enters a bed when not enough players are asleep yet. A separate message announces the skipped night.
Players can also leave the bed with a broadcast message, which can be turned on or off. A setting called ignoreSleepDuringDay, true by default, stops players from entering a bed during the day. Messages can use variables, so server owners can word them as they like. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and it requires Fabric API.
Hypnos is published for Fabric alone, with a single build for 1.16.3, version 0.1.2, dated 2021-04-21. It is released under a custom license and is not open source, though the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Sleep vote threshold
A configurable percentage of players must be asleep before the night is skipped, set through the playerPercentage option.

A message is displayed when the night is skipped, and its wording can be changed in the configuration.

Use cases
Multiplayer survival servers
A server can skip the night once enough players agree by sleeping, without every player needing the mod.
Who it’s for: Server owners who run Fabric 1.16.3 servers and want a simple sleep vote with customizable messages.
How it compares
Hypnos is server-side only, Fabric-only and built for 1.16.3. SleepCount is client-side only, not open source, and covers 1.21.8 – 1.21.11, so it targets a different environment and version range. Server Sleep Mod is also server-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.19 – 1.19.4, so it fits an older range than Hypnos.
