Sleep Anywhere
Sleep Anywhere lets players rest in a bed-free spot, so a night can be skipped from outside a village or a bed.
What it does
Minecraft normally requires a bed to sleep. This mod removes that requirement: a player can sleep on the ground, in a cave or in the wilderness, and the night passes once enough players are asleep. Sleeping on the ground counts toward the playersSleepingPercentage gamerule, the same way a bed does, and one sleeping player can be enough to skip the night on a server.
Sleeping without a bed brings debuffs, so the mod keeps the game balanced. Mining Fatigue and other effects are applied while sleeping, and their duration, level or whether they apply at all can be set in the configuration file. The mod can also set the respawn point when sleeping, as a bed does, and a key binding, which defaults to M, opens sleep. The config file takes priority on the server.
Both the server and every client need the mod installed. Files exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 8 release versions, 1.20 – 26.3, and the code is under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source. Owo-lib is no longer required, and settings from older versions carry over after an update.

How it compares
Better Server Sleep is a server-side option open to Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21.4 – 26.3, under the MIT License, but it is not open source. Sleep Anytime You Want is server required with client optional, open source under the MIT License, and covers 1.21.6 – 26.3. Sleep Anywhere requires the client and server to both run it.
