No Rest for the Wicked
by archiebaldry
No Rest for the Wicked changes how sleeping, phantoms and beds behave, removing the usual skip-the-night and spawnpoint shortcuts from the game.
What it does
Sleeping no longer skips the night, and players can no longer set a spawnpoint in the Overworld by sleeping in a bed. Respawn anchors keep working in the Nether as before. Beds also stop exploding in the Nether and the End, so the mod removes the sleep-based progression that vanilla players rely on.
Phantoms no longer spawn by default. The mod re-enables them temporarily through the doInsomnia gamerule set to true, and reimplements them so they are more useful to players. Drowned have a 25% chance to drop phantom membranes when they kill a player, a change introduced in version 1.0.1. Allowing beds to be used toward the endgame and a set of user configuration options let server owners disable individual features.
The mod is published for Fabric and Forge across three release versions, 1.20.1, 1.21.5 and 26.1.2, and is released under the MIT License with its source code and issue tracker public. Installation covers the server and each player's game.

Use cases
Servers without sleep shortcuts
Server owners who want sleep to have no effect on the day cycle or spawnpoints can run the mod as a server-side rule set.
Who it’s for: Server owners and players who want sleep and phantoms to behave differently from vanilla. Because the mod is client and server, both sides must run it.
