Sleep Quality
by Fudge_
Sleep Quality changes what happens when a player wakes up, based on the quality of the night's sleep, which depends on the bed's surroundings.
What it does
Sleep Quality checks the bed a player sleeps in. A bed with a roof overhead, dim light nearby and a clear sky above it gives a better night, and a bed exposed to rain or thunder, or lit too brightly, gives a worse one. A vanilla bed on its own only comforts the sleeper. The mod is formerly known as More Sleeps.
On waking, the mod picks an outcome at random, weighted toward the more likely results. A normal sleep changes nothing. A good sleep grants Regeneration, Resistance and Speed. A bad sleep applies Nausea, Slowness, Mining Fatigue and Weakness. The rarest outcome, a nightmare, applies the bad effects and also deals damage. Duration of each effect depends on how the night went.
The server needs the mod, while players may leave it out and still join. Comforts is an optional dependency that adds to the bed experience. Sleep Quality is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 15 release versions, 1.16.5 – 1.21.1, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and it is not open source.
Key features
Bed type matters
A vanilla bed only comforts the sleeper, while the surrounding setup decides the outcome.
Roof and sky checks
The mod detects a roof above the bed, and a clear sky above the bed counts as a bonus.
Lighting around the bed
Too much light makes the sleep worse, while a minimal light level makes it better.
Randomized wake-up effects
Each sleep picks an outcome, from normal to nightmare, with effects that last for different durations.
