Easier Sleeping Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I get started with the Easier Sleeping Mod?
Once the mod is installed on your server or client, it works automatically with default settings. Just place a bed and sleep as normal, and the mod will handle skipping the night once enough players are in bed. Check your config file if you want to change how many players need to sleep.
How many players need to sleep to skip the night?
By default, only a percentage of players on the server need to be sleeping rather than everyone. You can adjust this sleep percentage in the mod's config file to match your server size. The exact default value is set in the config, so check there if you want to change it.
Does this mod work on a multiplayer server?
Yes, this mod is specifically designed for multiplayer servers where getting everyone to sleep at once is impractical. It must be installed on the server, and clients typically need it too for the messages and phantom prevention to display correctly.
Why isn't the night skipping even though players are sleeping?
The most common cause is that the sleep percentage in the config hasn't been reached yet, so more players still need to get in bed. Also check that sleeping is enabled for the dimension you're in, since the mod lets you disable sleep per dimension.
How do I stop phantoms from spawning for players who don't sleep?
Enable the phantom prevention option in the mod's config. When active, players who skip sleeping won't get phantoms as long as enough other players are sleeping to skip the night.
Can I turn off sleeping in the Nether or other dimensions?
Yes, the mod lets you enable or disable sleep mechanics per dimension in the config. This is useful for dimensions where beds explode or where you don't want night-skipping to apply.
How do I change the messages that appear when someone sleeps or the night is skipped?
The mod's config includes options for customizing the chat messages shown when a player goes to bed, wakes up, or when the night is successfully skipped. Edit these message strings in the config file to say whatever you want.
Do all players need the mod installed, or just the server?
The mod needs to be on the server for the sleep-skipping logic to work. For clients, having it installed ensures they see the custom messages and phantom prevention properly, but the core mechanic runs server-side.
Is this mod compatible with other sleep or bed mods?
It generally works alongside most mods, but other mods that also change sleep mechanics or night-skipping could conflict. If you notice odd behavior, test with only this mod enabled to isolate the issue.
Will this mod cause lag or performance problems on my server?
No, the mod is lightweight since it only tracks sleep states and player counts rather than running heavy calculations. Performance impact is negligible even on large servers.
