BetterSleep

⚠️ Compatibility Note: This plugin is built for Minecraft 1.21.5 Purpur. I tested it on Purpur 1.21.5 and Spigot 1.21.1. It should work on 1.21.1-1.21.5 Spigot/Purpur/Paper/Bukkit.

This is a cut-out and improved fragment of my SmpMechanics plugin and forms a harmonious whole with Cozy Campfire and CustomDayNightTime.

BetterSleep

Sleep. Dream. Survive.

BetterSleep transforms the boring vanilla sleep mechanic into an immersive, interactive system. Instead of skipping the night instantly, time accelerates smoothly. Sleeping rewards players with buffs, while refusing to sleep brings dangerous consequences. It’s highly configurable and optimized for survival multiplayer servers.

✨ Key Features

• ⏩ Smooth Night Acceleration: The night doesn't just "snap" to day. Time accelerates (e.g., 150x speed) with a global BossBar showing progress.
• ✨ Rewarding Rest (Buffs): Players who sleep are rewarded!
  • Grants configurable potion effects (Regeneration, Speed, etc.).
  • Cleansing: Waking up removes all harmful effects (Poison, Wither, Blindness, etc.).
• 💀 Insomnia Penalties (Debuffs): Players who stay awake receive configurable punishments (e.g., Slowness, Weakness).
  • Smart Logic: Players in Creative or Spectator modes are automatically ignored.
  • Natural Dawn: Even if no one triggers the speed-up, if the night passes naturally, debuffs are still applied to those who didn't sleep.
• 🧟 Nightmares: Sleeping in low light (light level < 7) carries a risk! You might wake up violently with a Zombie or Skeleton spawning directly in your room.
• 🌱 Living World: The world reacts to the accelerated time!
  • Crops grow faster.
  • Animals mature and reset breeding cooldowns faster.
• ❤️ Intelligent Effect Logic: The plugin respects your gameplay. It will never overwrite a player's existing potion effect if it is stronger or lasts longer than the one provided by the plugin.
• 🔥 Safety Protocols: Automatically disables Fire Spread during the time acceleration to prevent accidental massive forest fires due to high tick speeds.
• 🛠️ Live Admin Config: extensive command suite (/bs add, /bs toggle, etc.) allows admins to tweak every aspect of the plugin without restarting.
