Sleeping Bag Mod — Guide

Mechanics

The Sleeping Bag Mod functions by hooking into the vanilla sleep cycle while bypassing the spawn-setting code.

Portable Sleeping

To use a sleeping bag, it must be placed on a flat surface. Right-clicking the placed bag at night or during a thunderstorm will cause the player to enter the sleeping state. Upon waking, the time will be set to morning, and the weather will clear, just like a standard bed.

Spawn Point Preservation

This is the core mechanic of the mod. When a player wakes up from a Sleeping Bag, the game does not update the player's spawnPoint NBT tag. This means if the player dies later, they will return to their last actual Bed or the world spawn, rather than the location where they last camped.

Portability and Recovery

Unlike beds, which are often left behind, sleeping bags are designed to be broken and moved. They have very low hardness and can be broken instantly by hand. When broken, the sleeping bag drops itself as an item, ready to be placed again at the next campsite.

Dimensional Behavior

Following vanilla logic, attempting to use a Sleeping Bag in the Nether or The End will result in an explosion. It is strictly intended for use in the Overworld or other stable dimensions that support sleeping mechanics.

World Generation and Entities

The Sleeping Bag Mod is a pure utility mod and does not add any of the following to the game: * Mobs/Creatures: No new entities are added. Standard hostile mobs will still spawn and may interrupt your sleep if the area is not properly lit. * Biomes: No new biomes are introduced. * Structures: Sleeping bags do not generate naturally in villages or chests; they must be crafted by the player. * Dimensions: No new dimensions are added.

Items and Blocks

The mod adds a single functional item that can be placed as a block: the Sleeping Bag. While it functions as a single entity, it is available in all 16 standard Minecraft colors to allow for player customization.

Sleeping Bag Variants

Each sleeping bag behaves identically regardless of color. The available variants are: * White Sleeping Bag * Orange Sleeping Bag * Magenta Sleeping Bag * Light Blue Sleeping Bag * Yellow Sleeping Bag * Lime Sleeping Bag * Pink Sleeping Bag * Gray Sleeping Bag * Light Gray Sleeping Bag * Cyan Sleeping Bag * Purple Sleeping Bag * Blue Sleeping Bag * Brown Sleeping Bag * Green Sleeping Bag * Red Sleeping Bag * Black Sleeping Bag

Properties

Crafting Recipes

Crafting a sleeping bag is straightforward and requires only Wool. The recipe is more resource-efficient than a standard bed as it does not require wooden planks, reflecting its lightweight nature.

Standard Recipe

To craft a Sleeping Bag, place three blocks of Wool of the same color in a horizontal row in the crafting grid.

Dyeing

In the 1.10.2 version, sleeping bags are typically crafted directly from colored wool. If you wish to change the color of an existing sleeping bag, you must break it down or craft a new one using the desired wool color.
