Legit sleep
by Voltrynox
Legit Sleep lets players skip the night or the day from almost any spot in a survival world, once they crouch in a safe place with an empty main hand.
What it does
A player who wants to pass the time rests by holding the sneak key briefly while the main hand is empty. When the sleep action is detected, the game moves the world clock to the next part of the day cycle without any time set command or cheat. The mod is built for survival play, so it does not rely on commands or special items, and it does not require a bed at a particular location.
The feature works in the overworld, while mining deep underground, during long journeys and far from a base, so a bed is no longer needed to skip unwanted daylight or nighttime. Because it leaves the rest of the game untouched, it fits survival worlds, adventure maps and multiplayer servers. It runs on Fabric with Fabric API installed, and it is licensed under the MIT License rather than as open source software, with files for 1.21.11 only.
Key features
Skipping the night
The sleep action advances the world clock to morning, ending the night without a bed.
Skipping the day
The same action moves the clock forward to nighttime when a player wants to pass daylight.
Sleeping almost anywhere
Players can use the sleep action almost anywhere in the world, not only beside a bed.
Command-free time change
Time moves forward through gameplay alone, so survival balance stays intact and no cheat is needed.

Use cases
Long underground trips
A miner can pass a night in a deep cave system without returning to a bed.
Distant building projects
Builders far from home can skip a night in place instead of walking back to sleep.
Who it’s for: Survival players who want a quality-of-life option for changing the time of day without giving up fair play, and server owners who want the same option for everyone who joins.
How it compares
Day Bed is client and server, open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, and runs on Fabric 1.21.11, so it needs the same install on both sides as Legit Sleep. Sleep Control is server-side only, covers 1.21 – 1.21.11 and is under All rights reserved, so players join without installing it. Half Night Skip is server-side only and is open source under the MIT License for 1.21.11, so it adds nothing to a player's client.
