BetterSleeping Revived Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I know when sleep deprivation is about to kick in?
Sleep deprivation effects begin after you skip three consecutive nights without sleeping. You'll see status effect icons appear on your screen when the debuffs activate, and the effects intensify the longer you stay awake.
What happens if I don't sleep for a really long time?
The longer you go without sleeping, the stronger and longer-lasting the sleep deprivation debuffs become. Eventually the effects can severely impact your ability to survive and play effectively.
How do I get the sleep recovery bonus?
Sleep through an entire night in a bed until morning—you'll receive a regeneration effect when you wake up that helps restore your health. The duration and strength of this effect can be adjusted in the config file.
Can I turn off the sleep deprivation penalties?
Yes, sleep deprivation effects can be disabled entirely through the mod's config file. You can also adjust how many nights a player must skip before the debuffs apply.
Do I have to sleep every single night or can I skip one?
You can skip up to two nights without penalty—the debuffs only trigger after three consecutive nights without sleeping. After that, the effects activate and worsen each night you remain awake.
Does this mod work with other mods that change sleep mechanics?
Compatibility depends on how other mods modify sleeping; check the mod's documentation or community forums for known conflicts. Most mods that add alternative beds or sleep features should work, but some may cause issues.
What's the difference between sleeping in my bed vs. just standing still?
You must actually sleep in a bed and wait until morning for the recovery bonus to apply—standing still or AFK doesn't count. Only a full night's sleep in a proper bed triggers the regeneration effect.
Can I configure how strong the sleep recovery is?
Yes, the duration and strength of the sleep recovery regeneration effect can be customized through the config file to match your preferred difficulty.
Do sleep deprivation effects go away immediately after I sleep?
Sleep deprivation debuffs fade after you sleep, though the exact duration depends on how long you were awake—longer sleep deprivation takes longer to fully recover from.
Does this mod affect multiplayer servers or just single-player?
The mod works on both single-player and multiplayer servers; each player tracks their own sleep status independently, so one player sleeping doesn't affect another's deprivation counter.
