One-Sleep Timelapse (NeoForge 1.21.1)
Primary target: servers with mandatory client install server + client required. Single-player is less battle-tested so far — if you find bugs or have ideas, please leave a comment. Any feedback helps a ton ❤️
Smooth, one-player night & storm skip with a cinematic timelapse. Both sides required: install the mod on the server and on every client.

Changelog (latest)
- New, cleaner config layout (auto-generated with sections, comments, and per-reason messages).
- Voting countdown before a skip starts + optional veto percentage.
- Daytime rain skip via consent (click a bed while it’s raining or use
/onesleep consent). - Bossbars for countdown and during the skip; titles are fully customizable.
- Config self-check:
/onesleep checkconfigvalidates values, auto-repairs critical issues, and reports the result in chat. - Safer suppression/restore of vanilla
playersSleepingPercentagewhile pending/running. - More flexible texts (bossbar, start/finish, and per-reason overrides).
Features
- One-sleep trigger — skip begins when the required threshold is met (default 0% = one-sleep).
- Two modes:
- Cinematic (default): clients render a smooth sky animation; server snaps to morning (night) or ends thunder (daytime thunder).
- Timelapse: the server actually advances time; lighting/mobs/weather update during the transition.
- Thunder (vanilla behavior) and daytime rain skip (via consent, optional).
- UI: progress bossbar + optional titles (all texts customizable).
- Overworld-only. Nether/End are ignored.
- Server + client required. The mod must be installed on the server and on all joining clients.
How it works
- Cinematic: server broadcasts “start”, clients render for
durationSeconds. Server sets time totargetTime(night) or ends thunder once (daytime thunder). Rain-skip keeps time and can clear rain once. - Timelapse: server advances day time every tick for the duration; clients still get smoothing hints.
Installation
- Server: place the JAR into
/modsand start. - Clients (required): every player must place the same JAR into
/mods. The mod is required to join and to see the cinematic. - Config: generated on first run at
config/onesleep.toml.
Requirements
- NeoForge 21.1.x
- Minecraft 1.21.1
- Java 21

Credits & Transparency
This mod was created from my personal idea and is my first proper Minecraft mod I’d like to share. I’m primarily a web developer, so I built it with AI assistance for Java/NeoForge boilerplate and best-practice guidance, and then tested/tuned everything myself — with special care to keep vanilla weather behavior intact and to deliver a smooth, server-safe experience.
