Restful Nights
Restful Nights changes how sleeping works on a server, giving waking players a short buff and letting a set share of online players skip the night.
What it does
When a player wakes up, the mod can grant Speed and Regeneration for two minutes, and a Full Belly effect can restore hunger saturation after a successful sleep. Each of these triggers has its own chance setting, and a value of 100% makes the effect always apply. A private chat message tells the waking player that they feel well rested, and no other player sees it.
Sleep Percentage sets the fraction of online players who must be asleep before the night is skipped. The default is 50%, and the setting can be changed to any value from 0% for a single sleeper to 100% for vanilla behavior. A Comfort Sleep option lets a bed ignore nearby monsters, which covers the rest of the sleep experience. Restful Nights is server required and client optional, so the server must run it while players may leave it out. It is published for NeoForge only, for 26.1 – 26.1.2, and is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.
