No Sleeping
by Baruch
No Sleeping is a Fabric and Quilt data pack that makes beds explode in the Overworld, as they do in the Nether and End, so players must find another way to set a spawn point there.
What it does
Vanilla beds are switched off in the Overworld: trying to sleep in one causes an explosion, the same behavior that applies in other dimensions. Respawn anchors are changed in the opposite direction and become usable there, so players can set a spawn point in the Overworld by charging an anchor instead. The effect is delivered as a data pack, and the mod itself is installed on a server that players join.
Server owners should note that the mod needs to run on the server, while players may leave it out. Files target 1.20 – 1.21.4, and the latest Fabric and Quilt builds are 2.1.1+RespawnAnchor+mod for 1.21.4, published 2025-02-17. Snapshot builds are published as well. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. The author notes that results cannot be promised across every world, and worlds that load the data pack are told they use experimental settings, so backups are recommended before adding it to an existing save.

What the author says
This is a simple data pack(and mod- see "versions") that makes it so that beds will explode when you try to sleep in them in the overworld, just like they do in the nether and the end. Do NOT use Version 1.0.0 [release], it won't work. Version 0.3.0 [release cadidate] is the same feature-wise.
