Sleep Timelapse
Sleep Timelapse speeds up the night once players sleep, so the clock moves faster while the world keeps its vanilla feel.
What it does
When players sleep, Sleep Timelapse accelerates the passage of night, and the speed-up also applies to movement, mining and swimming so actions keep pace with the faster environment. Unlike timelapse mods that only change the clock, it synchronizes gameplay elements with the accelerated time. Server owners can optionally skip the night entirely once a player is asleep, a choice that fits busy worlds and modest hardware.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. It requires Fabric Language Kotlin and is published for Fabric and Quilt, with files covering 1.20.4 – 1.21.4. The code is not open source; the content is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, and the first file was published on 2025-03-24.

Use cases
Busy multiplayer servers
Server owners who want nights to pass quickly for everyone can enable the full skip and keep the timelapse for single players.
Lower-end machines
Skipping the night entirely reduces the time spent in a long night, which helps on hardware that struggles with the normal cycle.
Who it’s for: Server owners running Fabric or Quilt who want faster nights, and players on those servers who prefer a timelapse to a fixed day cycle.
