Sleep Anytime You Want
by Jodek
Sleep Anytime You Want lets players sleep during the day, not only at night, and skip the day through a bed on servers that install it.
What it does
A player can lie down in a bed while the sun is up, and the sleep works the same way as at night. Sleep is not automatic at dawn, so a sleeping player must stand up manually once the night ends. Sleeping through the day skips time forward, and a day skip can be reversed in the other direction when another player starts sleeping again.
After a night is skipped, a cooldown runs before the next day can be skipped, so the day cannot be passed repeatedly in a row. The mod requires Sleep, and servers need to restart or reload the datapack before the changes apply correctly. 5555ff-lib is an optional dependency, and No Build Limit is listed as incompatible.
The mod is open source under the MIT License. It runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and is also available as a data pack for server platforms. Its files target 1.21.6 – 26.3, with the newest build for 26.3, and the environment is server required with client optional, so a player's client can run without it.
Key features
Day sleeping
Beds can be used during daylight hours, letting players rest or pass time whenever they choose.
Manual wake-up
A sleeping player is not woken automatically at dawn and must stand up by hand.
Day skipping
Sleeping in the day advances time, with a cooldown before another day can be skipped.
Reversible skip
Skipping back to day requires another player to start sleeping again, which keeps the change from happening alone.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Server owners and players who want rest times that are not tied to night, especially on survival or adventure worlds where day skipping is wanted.
