SleepCount
SleepCount shows a small HUD counter that tracks how many players are in bed during a night skip, so players can see progress without opening the player list.
What it does
When a player climbs into a bed, a compact counter appears on the HUD showing how many players are sleeping out of how many are online. The counter turns green once everyone is asleep and stays amber while anyone is still awake, and it hides itself again once the night has been skipped or no one is sleeping. Because the counter reads the same sleep state the server reports, it works in multiplayer and shows how close a server is to skipping the night.
The overlay is a pure client change and leaves the server's sleep logic alone. It respects the vanilla F1 hide-HUD toggle, and players can switch the whole feature on or off with the K key. Fabric API is required, and the mod is published for Fabric only, with files for 1.21.8 – 1.21.11 under the MIT License. SleepCount is not open source in the sense of a public repository, though its license permits reuse.
