How to Pass the Night Without Full Server Sleeping

Using a Bed Independently

Place a bed in a sheltered location and interact with it once dusk or night falls. In standard multiplayer gameplay, a single absent or busy player prevents the night from clearing. With DarkSleep installed, you do not need every player online to sleep simultaneously to pass the night. Entering a bed initiates time progression immediately, regardless of what other players on the server are doing.

Letting Night Shorten Gradually

Once you lie down, the night begins to shorten in real time rather than instantly vanishing in a single tick. Instead of a sudden cut to daytime, time moves forward at an accelerated pace. Even if you are the only person sleeping on an active server, the nighttime duration decreases, allowing morning to arrive much sooner than standard unmodded time would allow. You can remain resting until the accelerated night reaches dawn naturally.
