Sleep Vote
by arnldox
Sleep Vote lets players on a multiplayer server skip the night by voting, once a player starts a vote from a bed.
What it does
When a player clicks a bed to start a vote, the server opens a poll that everyone can answer with clickable chat buttons. A dynamic boss bar tracks how many players have voted yes, and it fades out once the vote ends. Sound effects play when the vote starts and during the final countdown, and they can be turned off in the config.
The vote can also start automatically, and its duration, boss bar display time, auto-start behavior and sound toggles are all set in a simple JSON config file or changed with in-game commands. Chat messages announce the start of the vote, who is sleeping and whether the night was skipped. The mod is built for servers where a single sleeping player should not decide the night for everyone, and it is intended for vanilla and modded multiplayer servers alike.
The mod is published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.21.8, and it is not open source: it is licensed under All rights reserved. Players join without installing anything, since the mod is meant to run on the server side.

Who it’s for: Server owners running vanilla or modded multiplayer on Minecraft 1.21.8 who want the night skipped only with the group's agreement.
