Ticksleep
by EnderBoy9217
Ticksleep changes what sleeping in a bed does: rather than jumping straight to morning, a bed speeds up the clock so time still passes at a faster rate.
What it does
Vanilla Minecraft lets players skip the night at once by sleeping, which removes the danger of hostile mobs in one step. Ticksleep replaces that jump with a faster passage of time, so nighttime monsters continue to spawn while the clock runs. The change keeps the bed useful in the early game, when a shelter built to stay out of reach of zombies and creepers matters more than a shortcut to morning.
Because time keeps moving during sleep, crops keep growing, furnaces keep cooking and AFK farms keep producing for longer. The mod is server-side only: the server needs Ticksleep and Fabric API, while players join without installing anything. Ticksleep is published for Fabric 1.20.1 only, and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
Key features
Accelerated night
Sleeping in a bed speeds up time instead of skipping the night entirely, so the morning arrives gradually.
Monsters keep spawning
Hostile mobs still spawn during the accelerated night, so sleeping does not remove the threat from the dark.
No repeated right-clicking
Players no longer have to right-click a bed again and again to pass a few minutes of night.
Beds as a shelter
Early in the game a bed works as a shelter to wait out the night, rather than a button that removes the threat.

What the author says
Beds have been a longstanding issue in Minecraft, they give players an immediate way to skip the dangers of the night by simply repeating the same repetitive process of right-clicking every few minutes. This mod changes beds so that they speed up time rather than skipping time. This means the game will continue to…
