Improved Sleep

Improved Sleep gives multiplayer servers percentage or fixed-player sleep thresholds, separate day and storm rules, wake times, and sleeper rewards.

• Skip on your terms — a percentage or a fixed number of sleepers, not everyone.
• Night, day, and storms each get their own rules — separate thresholds and wake times.
• Reward the sleepers — optional buffs after a successful skip.
• Server-first — all the mechanics run on the server.
• Pairs with Sleep Wake-Up Notifier — add player-facing sleep progress and morning messages.

Features

Thresholds that fit your server

Choose a percentage threshold or a fixed sleeper count instead of requiring every eligible player in bed. This keeps larger servers moving without forcing full attendance every night.

Separate night, day, and thunderstorm rules

Keep normal nighttime sleeping, optionally allow daytime sleeping, decide whether thunderstorms can use beds, and give night, storm, and daytime skips their own thresholds and wake times.

Optional buffs for players who actually sleep

Sleepers can earn a configurable set of buffs after a successful sleep skip. Every buff is off by default, the shared duration is configurable, and effects with multiple vanilla levels keep a level setting that defaults to that effect's vanilla maximum.

Server settings in Mod Menu

With Mod Menu installed, singleplayer worlds and permission-gated servers can edit the Server Config sleep rules, wake times, and sleep buff settings.

Quickstart

1. Install Fabric Loader and Fabric API on your server.
2. Drop Improved Sleep into the server's mods/ folder and start it. Your custom sleep rules apply right away — no client install required.
3. Set thresholds, wake times, and rewards in Mod Menu (Server Config needs operator permission) or in the config file below.
4. Want players to see sleep progress and morning messages? Add Sleep Wake-Up Notifier — it picks up these thresholds automatically.

Compatibility

Improved Sleep is server-first and owns sleep mechanics only. Here is where each piece runs and what it needs.

• Dedicated server (required): custom night, thunderstorm, and daytime thresholds, wake times, and sleep rewards.
• Client (optional): Mod Menu Server Config access in singleplayer or on servers where you have operator permission.
• Required dependency: Fabric API, wherever the mod is installed.
• Optional dependency: Mod Menu on clients for permission-gated Server Config screens.
• Optional companion: Sleep Wake-Up Notifier for player-facing sleep progress action bars and chat summaries.

Make it yours

Improved Sleep owns mechanics only. It changes sleep rules and sleep rewards; it does not send player-facing sleep action bars or chat summaries. Pair it with Sleep Wake-Up Notifier for those.

• Night, thunderstorm, and daytime threshold modes can each use a percentage of eligible players or a fixed player count.
• Thunderstorms have their own wake time and threshold instead of reusing the clear-weather day or night rules.
• Night, thunderstorm, and daytime skips can each wake players on the day or night marker.
• Fixed-count thresholds cap to the number of eligible non-spectator players in the Overworld.
• Sleep buffs apply only to players who are sleeping when a configured sleep skip succeeds.
• Rewards with multiple vanilla levels keep an inline level that cycles from I up to that effect's current vanilla maximum, with the maximum selected by default.
• In singleplayer, Server Config edits the local file. On remote servers, Server Config is editable only with operator permission.
• Missing or invalid JSON values fall back to the latest defaults and are rewritten automatically.

Config file

After first launch, edit config/improved-sleep.json. File edits need a game or server restart; Mod Menu changes apply immediately where editable.
