NightSkipper

NightSkipper — Smart Night Skip for Minecraft

NightSkipper is a lightweight and reliable plugin that automatically skips the night
when a configured percentage of players in a world are sleeping. Supports EssentialsX AFK, vanish, and spectator mode.

🧩 Version Compatibility

✨ Features

Flexible world configuration — choose which worlds the night skip works in
Customizable sleep percentage — from 0% to 100% of players required to skip night
Supports AFK and Vanish players from EssentialsX
Players in Spectator mode or with the essentials.sleepingignored permission are ignored
Sleep progress displayed via ActionBar
Custom chat and ActionBar messages using MiniMessage
Anti-spam protection to prevent repeated skipping
Full multi-world support
/nskipper reload command to reload the config without restarting the server

⚙️ How It Works

1. A player goes to sleep → everyone in the world sees an ActionBar:
   Sleeping: 1/4 | Needed: 1
2. When the required fraction of players is asleep (or AFK) — countdown begins:
   • Message appears: "Night is being skipped..."
   • After ~3 seconds, the night is skipped.
3. The world transitions to morning, storms and rain are cleared.
