SleepAnyway
SleepAnyway lets players use beds when hostile mobs are nearby, removing the monster proximity check that normally blocks sleep.
What it does
Normally a bed cannot be used when monsters are close by. SleepAnyway removes that proximity check, so a player can sleep regardless of hostile mobs in the area. Only the server needs the mod, and players join without installing anything on their side, though a client installation is listed as needed in the author notes.
The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge across six game versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.8, with 1.0.0 as the latest file for each loader. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
