Sleep Hunger
Sleep Hunger makes a night's rest cost food: a player needs at least eight hunger bars to sleep, and waking up drains five hunger shanks.
What it does
Sleeping in a bed is gated by hunger in Sleep Hunger. A player needs at least eight hunger bars before the bed will let them sleep, and once they wake, their saturation is reduced by five hunger shanks. The mod is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 only, and it is server required with the client optional, so the server runs it while players may leave it out. It is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
