ServerSleep

A lightweight, highly compatible Bukkit/Spigot/Paper plugin that lets you control how many players must sleep to skip the night — without breaking the day counter or phantom timers.

Unlike many night-skip plugins that use setTime(0) and reset the world day count (affecting statistics, phantoms, and more), ServerSleep uses the correct absolute time method (setFullTime) to advance properly to the next morning, just like vanilla sleeping.

Perfect for servers running older versions (pre-1.17) where the built-in playersSleepingPercentage gamerule doesn't exist or behaves inconsistently.

Features

• Configurable sleep percentage:
  • 100 = Vanilla behavior (all players must sleep)
  • 50 = Half the players needed
  • 0 = A single player can skip the night
• Does NOT reset the day count — preserves world statistics and phantom spawning timers.
• Automatically resets phantom timers for players who sleep.
• Clears weather (storm/thunder) after skipping night.
• Fully respects the gamerules doDaylightCycle and doWeatherCycle.
• Supports Overworld only (Nether/End unaffected).

Commands (OP / serversleep.command permission)

• /serversleep — Show current sleep percentage.
• /serversleep percent <0-100> — Change the required sleep percentage and save to config.
• /serversleep reload — Reload the configuration file.
