Allow One Player to Skip Night While Others Stay Awake

How Single-Player Sleep Works

With this mod installed, any player can enter a bed alone to begin skipping the night. Unlike vanilla Minecraft, you no longer need everyone online to sleep simultaneously.

Steps to Skip the Night

1. Have at least one player enter a bed

2. That player will begin the sleep animation

3. The night will start skipping toward dawn automatically

4. Other players receive a chat message notifying them the night is being skipped

5. Those players can continue their activities—mining, building, or fighting—without interruption

6. When dawn arrives, the sleeping player exits the bed and the day begins

What Other Players See

Players who remain awake will see a notification in chat that someone is sleeping. They have the option to click a cancel button if they want to stop the skip and keep the night going. This gives everyone agency over the server's day-night cycle without forcing unanimous agreement.
