Sleep in Darkness
Sleep in Darkness is a Minecraft mod that introduces a new survival challenge: players must be in a dark enough environment to sleep. This adds a new strategic element to base building and night-time survival.
The mod is designed with maximum compatibility in mind, using Balm for seamless multi-loader support (Fabric, Forge, NeoForge).
✨ Features
🌌 Sleep Restriction Based on Light Level
Players can only sleep when their current light level is below a configurable threshold. Torches, lanterns, and other light sources must be avoided to find suitable sleeping spots.🔧 Configurable Settings
The light level threshold can be easily customized through the mod's config file. Adjust the challenge to fit your gameplay style.

- 🔗 Balm - Used as the multi-loader foundation.
