Overnight
by TomerGamerTV
When players sleep through Overnight, crops, saplings and baby animals keep growing instead of the night simply being skipped.
What it does
Overnight is a Fabric mod distributed as a data pack, and it speeds up time so that vegetation random ticks and baby animals age toward adulthood through the rest of the night. The default sleep acceleration is set to 100x, and the mod's options can be changed.
Two safety behaviors apply during the accelerated sleep. The doFireTick gamerule is disabled while sleep acceleration runs, which stops fire from spreading, and the original value is restored once players wake up. If the server reloads mid-sleep, the original gamerules are restored automatically, so a reload does not leave the world with changed rules.
The mod is published for Fabric and as a data pack, for game versions 1.21.4 and 26.1.2. The server must run it, while players may add it to their own install and neither side is forced to. Fabric Loader and Fabric API must be installed alongside it on the server.
Key features
Growth during sleep
Crops, saplings and baby animals continue to develop through the night rather than waiting for morning.
Adjustable sleep speed
Sleep acceleration defaults to 100x, and the speed can be changed in the mod's configuration.
Fire safety while sleeping
doFireTick is turned off during acceleration and restored on waking, which prevents unwanted fire spread.
Growable animals tag
Baby animals are listed in a growable animals tag, and server owners can edit the list with their own override file.
Clean recovery on reload
If the server reloads mid-sleep, the original gamerules are restored automatically.
