Sleep Changes Everything
by perusi
Sleep Changes Everything makes a night's rest move the world forward, so a player who sleeps wakes to changed trees, crops, mobs and weather.
What it does
When a player sleeps, the Forge mod advances the surrounding area: nearby saplings grow toward becoming trees, crops receive extra growth stages, and mobs within the cleanup radius are despawned. Rain and thunder are cleared as part of the same pass, so mornings start with clearer skies. The player wakes up without waiting through the night.
Installation needs Forge and is published for 1.16.5 only, in a single file: 1.0.1, dated 2026-02-22. The server and every player need the mod installed. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. The first and last update share the same date.
Several effects can be tuned in the config. The effect radius sets how far the sleep reaches, and the intensity controls tree and crop progression. The mob cleanup radius and target groups decide which creatures are removed, and the weather clear duration sets how long skies stay calm. Safety checks can protect named or tamed mobs, and broadcast and logging toggles control server messages.
Key features
Tree progression
Saplings within the effect radius advance toward growth while the player sleeps.
Crop acceleration
Crops near the sleeping player gain extra growth stages, with the strength set in the config.
Mob cleanup
Nearby mobs are despawned within a configurable radius and for chosen groups, while tamed and persistent mobs can be protected.
Weather stabilization
Rain and thunder are cleared after sleep, and the clear duration can be adjusted.
