Let Me Sleep - Better Sleep Check
by TwinSouls
With Let Me Sleep installed on a server, a bed still works when only hostile monsters are tracking the player, and the bed check ignores them.
What it does
Let Me Sleep changes the sleep check that a bed performs. Normally a player cannot sleep while monsters are nearby; this mod restricts that rule to monsters that are actually tracking the player, so a nearby creature that has not noticed anyone does not block the night. The idea is to make the check more sensible, leaving restless nights for players who are hunting monsters on purpose.
The mod runs on the server alone: players join without installing anything. It is published for Forge and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.18 – 1.21.1 across 12 release versions. Forge 1.0.1 for 1.20.1 and NeoForge 1.0.1 for 1.21.1 are the latest files, released on 2024-10-08 and 2024-10-09. The code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and it is open source, with a public source repository and issue tracker.
Only the latest major version receives new features, while older versions get fixes for major bugs and oversights. Porting to Fabric is planned but not yet available.

Let Me Sleep is a simple mod designed around the idea of making the monster check when trying to sleep more sensible. This is done by making it so that only monsters currently tracking the player will prevent sleeping. No more restless nights hunting for monsters that won't Let Me Sleep.
