DrSleep

This plugin operates on the principle of skipping night in singleplayer mode: if any player goes to bed, night immediately ends. However, the key difference is that DrSleep gives every server member voting rights. If at least one player expresses desire to continue nighttime, transitioning to morning is blocked.

Comparison with alternative solutions

Standard system By default in Minecraft, to end night all online players must simultaneously be in beds. On multiplayer servers this is nearly impossible due to lack of coordination between participants. As a result, nighttime cycle continues even when most players want to skip it.

playersSleepingPercentage game rule Starting from version 1.17, vanilla game allows configuring percentage of sleeping players required to skip night. You can set extremely low value (for example, 1%), which lets any sleeping player immediately end night. However, this approach doesn't consider opinions of other participants who may want to continue nighttime adventures.

Other popular plugins offer various mechanics but have their drawbacks: some gradually speed up time when players are sleeping (unfair to nighttime enthusiasts), others use voting systems that often clutter game chat.

DrSleep advantages With DrSleep, every player can express their opinion using /preventsleep command. When attempting to sleep, system checks if there are players opposing night skipping and respects their decision. Players who leave server automatically lose "sleep prevention" status. For additional balance, you can configure daily confirmation of /preventsleep settings so priority remains with active participants.
