Sleep Animation: Immersive Sleeping Plugin
by derexXD
Sleep Animation: Immersive Sleeping Plugin changes what happens when players sleep through a night, showing a short scene while the night is skipped.
What it does
When enough players sleep and the night is skipped, the plugin plays a sleeping animation for those players, so the skip feels less abrupt. Players can look up at the night sky while the sky slowly turns. The features are configurable and built to stay light on servers. Files target Fabric, and the server platforms Paper, Spigot, Bukkit and Purpur are also supported, with releases covering 1.17 – 26.3 and 1.1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest Fabric build. The code is open source under the MIT License.
