Server Sleep Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I turn on the mod after installing it?

The mod activates automatically when loaded. The gamerule is set to 50% by default, meaning half your players must sleep to skip the night—no additional setup needed.

What does playersSleepingPercentage actually do?

It sets what fraction of online players must be in bed to skip the night. At 50%, if 4 players are online, 2 must sleep; if 10 are online, 5 must sleep.

Can I change the sleep percentage to something other than 50?

Yes, use the command `/gamerule playersSleepingPercentage ` where value is your desired percentage. Changes take effect immediately.

Why aren't players able to sleep even though enough are in bed?

Check that all sleeping players are actually in valid beds and the gamerule is set correctly. If players are in different dimensions, they may not count toward the same sleep threshold.

Does this mod work with plugins like EssentialsX or other server tools?

Yes, the mod only changes a vanilla gamerule, so it's compatible with standard plugins and server software that support gamerule commands.

What happens if someone logs out while sleeping?

They are no longer counted as sleeping, so the percentage requirement recalculates based on remaining online players.

Can I set the sleep percentage to 0% or 100%?

Yes—0% means the night skips instantly with no one needing to sleep, while 100% requires every single online player to be in bed.

Does this mod affect single-player worlds?

No, the mod only changes multiplayer sleep behavior. Single-player sleep mechanics remain unchanged.

Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?

No, it only adjusts a single gamerule and has no performance impact on servers or clients.

How do I check what the current sleep percentage is set to?

Use the command `/gamerule playersSleepingPercentage` to view the current value.
