✨ A modern and lightweight Minecraft plugin to skip the night instantly in single-player worlds or with percentage-based voting, packed with rich features, visual effects, and fully configurable settings.
Click here to download from the Modrinth page.
SinglePlayerSleep is designed for Minecraft servers that aim to keep the immersive single-player feel, even in multiplayer mode, by allowing the night to be skipped when a single player sleeps or when a certain percentage of players vote to sleep.
Built with performance and flexibility in mind, it features configurable messages, particle & sound effects, automatic saving, advanced protections, AFK detection, and automatic update checking.
Whether you run a small private SMP or a public server, SinglePlayerSleep seamlessly handles night skipping and enhances the sleeping experience without needing everyone online to sleep.

Experience a seamless transition to morning! Instead of an instant time jump, the night accelerates rapidly, creating a beautiful fast-forward effect.
- Configurable speed
- Much more immersive than instant skipping
Know exactly what's happening when someone sleeps:
- A BossBar appears showing "Sleeping... (Percentage%)"
- Fully customizable color, style, and text
- Immediate feedback for all players
- Sleep Cancellation: If a player leaves their bed before the timer finishes, the night skip is cancelled.
- Prevents accidental night skips and ensures players actually want to sleep.
- New message: "{player} woke up! Night skip cancelled."
Choose between single-player mode or percentage-based voting:
- Configure what percentage of online players must sleep
- Real-time progress messages showing sleep count
- Flexible for both small and large servers
- Example: Set to 50% so half your players need to sleep
Intelligent AFK detection system:
- Automatically tracks player activity (movement, interactions)
- Players inactive for 5 minutes are marked as AFK
- AFK players are excluded from sleep calculations (configurable)
- Prevents inactive players from blocking night skip
Stay up to date effortlessly:
- Checks GitHub releases on server startup
- Beautiful console notifications for new versions
- Fully configurable (can be disabled)
- Direct download links when updates are available
