SleepWarp
by Giggitybyte
When players go to bed, SleepWarp speeds up the clock during the night rather than jumping straight to morning, and the server runs that speed for every player asleep.
What it does
Instead of skipping directly to day, the mod accelerates time while a player sleeps. On a multiplayer server the acceleration speed scales with the number of players asleep, and the game clock can advance during that span so the world keeps moving, which the server owner can turn off in the config.
SleepWarp is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and it runs in single player, LAN and dedicated server setups alike. Fabric is the only loader with files, and Fabric API is required alongside it. Builds cover 1.16.4 – 1.20.1, and the latest file, 2.2.0-rc1+1.20.1 for 1.20.1, is an alpha release. The mod is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and is open source.
Key features
Accelerated night
Time runs faster while players sleep, so the night passes over a shorter real-time stretch.
Scaling with sleepers
On a server, the speed of acceleration increases with the number of players in bed.
Simulated world ticks
The world can be ticked at the same accelerated rate, keeping crops and mobs moving during the sleep, and this can be configured.
Configurable options
Version 2 settings are reachable through Mod Menu when YetAnotherConfigLib is installed.

Use cases
Multiplayer servers
Server owners can shorten nights for groups that sleep together without changing anything on player machines.
Single player and LAN
Worlds opened to LAN or played alone use the same acceleration when the player goes to bed.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want nights to pass faster when players sleep, and players who play single player or LAN worlds with the same sleep behavior.
