No Sleep | You May Not Rest

by moi-tripa

This mod stops players from skipping the night by sleeping, while beds still set spawn points and respawn anchors still work.

FabricForgeNeoForgeServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 1.21.4

What it does

Sleeping no longer advances the clock, so a night has to be waited out or passed another way. Bed spawn logic is kept, so a bed still sets where a player respawns. Respawn anchors keep working too. The mod is built for survival worlds that aim for a harder pace, or for servers where players want to tease each other. It runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. Fabric API is required, and files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.4 under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Sleeping disabled

    Beds no longer let players skip the night, so the clock keeps running at its normal pace.

  2. Bed spawns kept

    Beds still set the respawn point, so players who die return to the bed they last used.

  3. Respawn anchors work

    Respawn anchors remain usable, giving players a way to set spawns without a bed.

Questions

Does this mod need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside the mod on Fabric.

Does a player need this mod installed to join a server?

No. Server owners install it, and players connect with no copy of their own.
