night-skip
by strunder
With night-skip installed, a server can end the night once enough players are asleep, instead of waiting for every player to get into a bed.
What it does
The mod lets a server skip the night when a set share of online players is in bed. The percentage of players needed is set in the config, so a server owner can make the threshold stricter or looser. Once the threshold is met, the night is skipped for the whole world.
Unlike similar mods, night-skip resets the calendar rather than changing the in-game clock, which keeps it compatible with many time-based mods. The mod also supports displaying the current year, synchronized with the Vinery mod. Custom messages can be shown to players when they wake up.
Installation is needed on the server only, and the mod targets Fabric. Files exist for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 1.1.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest build on the beta channel. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the code is released under the Apache License 2.0.
