Shh. (The Sleep Demon)

by jacobfromnm

When a player lies down in a bed, Shh. may replace the sleep with a harrowing encounter: the Sleep Demon, a configurable chance per attempt.

FabricForgeClient and serverMIT License1.19.2 – 1.21.11

What it does

Shh. adds the Sleep Demon, which can interrupt a player who tries to sleep. Each time someone lies down, a configurable chance (20% by default) decides whether the demon appears. When it does, darkness envelops the player, a configurable effect lasting a set number of ticks, and the player is teleported to a random location within a configurable distance range. Each sleep attempt that the demon interrupts costs the player one heart, and a red warning picked at random flashes across the middle of the screen, suggesting something is nearby.

The mod is meant for rare occasions rather than constant disruption: the demon only acts when sleep is attempted, and the author notes that seeking slumber in an unguarded spot can leave a player far from shelter. Shh. requires Fabric API and works with Cloth Config API for editing its settings. The code is under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source. Files exist for Fabric and Forge, with the latest build 2.0.6 for 1.21.1 published 2026-10-14.

Key features

  1. Sleep interruption

    A configurable chance decides whether the Sleep Demon interrupts a player who lies down to sleep.

  2. Random teleportation

    The affected player is moved to a random location, with minimum and maximum distances set in the config.

  3. Darkness effect

    Darkness covers the player for a duration that can be adjusted in ticks.

  4. Health loss and warning message

    The player loses one heart, and a random red message appears on screen to hint at the demon's presence.

Questions

Does Shh. need Fabric API?

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

Does the server need Shh. installed?

Yes. Installation covers the server and each player's game.

Can the demon's chance and distance be changed?

Yes. The trigger chance, the minimum and maximum teleport distance and the darkness duration are all configurable, and Cloth Config API is an optional dependency for editing them.

The Sleep Demon is said to seek those who slumber unguarded, wrenching them violently from safety and into shadow…” On rare occasions, attempting to sleep may instead trigger a harrowing experience at the hands of a dark force - seeking to unexpectedly disorient, and…
