About Sleep Tight

From Modrinth

Sleep and bed overhaul: hammocks, bedbugs, night bags, nightmares and dream essence

Sleep Tight is a very comprehensive rebalance and overhaul of the Minecraft sleeping system.

The mod's main goals are:

  • Slow down early game progression, making it so sleeping off the night isn't always a no-brainer
  • Rewards player for prioritizing their "home bed" instead of placing random beds down every night
  • Offers late game options to sleep immediately without setting your spawn point (and without associated penalties)
  • Expand the sleep system by allowing players to rest during the day
  • Adds some drawbacks and dangers to sleep such as nightmares, sleep encounters and bedbugs

Overall sleeping should feel more rewarding and balanced while still being fun and engaging at the same time with its new encounters mechanics. The mod late game should feel like vanilla but with added benefits

> The mod is highly configurable. Just want the hammocks with no sleeping changes? You can do just that!


🛏 Night Bags 🛏

  • A late game item crafted with echo shards and phantom membrane
  • Serves as a temporary bed that does not set your spawn point
  • When used will immediately place the player in sleep mode on the spot
  • Upon waking up they will go back in your inventory. Perfect for camping!
  • Does not prevent Phantom spawn nor provide any benefit


💤Hammocks💤

  • Allow players to rest during the day
  • When laying on one you can swing back and forth by pressing "a" or "d" movement keys
  • Come in all different colors
  • Can be attached to either 2 fences with 2 blocks in between or in a 3 block space against 2 blocks


🪳Bedbugs🪳

  • A disruptive mob that has a rare chance to spawn right after you sleep in a bed on high difficulties
  • Normally they ignore the player and sprint toward any bed close by
  • Once they reach a bed they will burrow in it making it unusable/"infested"
  • To solve this you'll have to use a potion of harming on the bed itself
  • Can pass through doors
  • Can also rarely spawn in the wild and will attack players when no beds are in sight


🏠Home Bed🏠

  • Sleeping at least 8 times in the same bed will mark it as your "home bed"
  • Once a bed gets marked you'll receive a new effect, Invigorated, upon waking up
  • Invigorating increases xp drop from ores and mobs for a long period of time making it a valuable reward for committing to the same bed
  • Be sure not to break or let your bed be infested as doing so will reset its home bed status
  • Sleeping even more nights on the same bed will increase the Home Bed level even further up to a max of 100
  • Home bed status can be viewed in a newly added icon in the sleep screen


🌒Nightmares🌒

  • You can now lay on a bed or hammock without sleeping. This allows you to move your camera and access your inventory like normal
  • Successuflly sleeping will now have a cooldown. By default this will be 5m but some events, such as sleep encounters or nightmares will inflict much harsher penalties
  • You can view your current cooldown in a newly added status bar right below your crossair when aiming or resting on a bed
  • While sleeping you will see the current time on the left corner of your screen
  • Beds will no longer violently explode when in the nether. They will instead only make a tiny blast. You can also disable the explosion entirely allowing you to sleep there


🧟Sleep Encounters🧟

  • Formerly known as "bad dreams" this is an old mechanic that was removed in previous versions of mc
  • When sleeping next to a dark spot you'll have a chance to get woken up by a mob that could have naturally spawned there
  • No longer are you safe to sleep in a dark cave!


😪Sleep Benefits & Requirements😪

The mod offers many ways to customize your sleeping experience. Here are all the options that it offers with their default behavior

  • Sleeping requires full hunger (default off)
  • Sleeping requires an xp toll (default 0)
  • Sleeping will grant a status effect (Invigorating only for home beds as explained above)
  • Heal when woken up (default on)
  • Clear all effects when woken up (default on)
  • Consumes hunger when woken up (default on)

All these can be turned on or off individually for each bed type (bed, hammocks and sleeping bags)
