Ban Sleeping Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn off sleeping when I right-click a bed?
Sleeping is disabled by default when the mod is installed—right-clicking any bed at night will display "Sleeping is banned!" and nothing will happen. If you want to re-enable sleeping, you'll need to remove the mod or check your mod configuration files for toggle options.
Do phantoms spawn faster now that I can't sleep?
Yes, phantoms spawn based on how many in-game days you've gone without sleeping. Since you cannot sleep with this mod, phantoms will eventually spawn and become increasingly common the longer you stay awake.
What's the best way to survive the first night?
Build a small enclosed shelter before nightfall using blocks like wood or stone, stay inside during the night, and gather basic weapons and tools during the day. Avoid going outside until you have armor and a sword to defend yourself against mobs.
Can I still use beds for anything else?
No, beds are completely non-functional with this mod—you cannot sleep in them, set your spawn point, or use them for any purpose. They remain as decorative blocks only.
How do I deal with phantoms spawning constantly?
Stay indoors or in well-lit areas at night to reduce phantom encounters, and craft armor and weapons to fight them effectively. Phantoms are vulnerable to arrows and melee weapons, so keeping your equipment upgraded will make combat easier.
Will this mod work with other mods that change night mechanics?
Compatibility depends on what those mods do—mods that add alternative sleep methods or change day/night cycles may conflict. Test your mod combination in a new world to check for issues before committing to a long playthrough.
Is there a way to make nights shorter or longer?
This mod only bans sleeping; it doesn't change the length of day/night cycles. You would need a separate mod or server properties adjustment to modify how long nights last.
What happens if I die at night?
You respawn at your spawn point (or bed spawn if you've set one before installing the mod), but you'll still be in the middle of nighttime and unable to sleep to skip it. You'll need to survive or hide until dawn.
Do I need special armor or weapons to handle nighttime combat?
Any weapon and armor will work, but upgrading to iron or better gear makes nighttime much more manageable. Prioritize getting a sword and helmet early, then work toward full armor sets as you progress.
Can I disable this mod for just one night or temporarily?
You would need to remove the mod from your mods folder and restart your game to disable it, then reinstall it to re-enable it. There is no in-game toggle to temporarily allow sleeping.
