Description from the author on Hangar

Onlysleep

One player sleeps. Everyone wakes up.

Onlysleep keeps night skipping simple. One player can skip the night by default, or you can choose the percentage that fits your server. Sleep is counted per world, so activity in one world does not affect another.


Features

  • One-player sleep by default, with configurable percentage thresholds
  • Separate sleep counts for each world
  • Independent controls for clearing rain and thunder
  • Boss bar, action bar, title, and progress-bar feedback
  • Configurable sounds for bed entry and successful night skips
  • Built-in AFK tracking, plus EssentialsX and CMI support
  • Filters for spectators, creative players, flying players, game modes, and exempt permissions
  • Automatic handling of the playersSleepingPercentage gamerule
  • PlaceholderAPI support for sleep, world, and status data
  • Native Folia scheduling support
  • Optional update checks and anonymous bStats metrics

  • /onlysleep - Show help
  • /onlysleep help - Show help page
  • /onlysleep reload - Reload configuration

Installation

  1. Download the JAR.
  2. Drop it into your plugins/ folder.
  3. Restart your server.
  4. Edit plugins/Onlysleep/config.yml if you want to tweak anything.
  5. Apply changes with /onlysleep reload.

Requirements: Minecraft 26.3 and Java 25 or newer. Onlysleep works on its own; PlaceholderAPI is optional.

Configuration

You can use the defaults as-is. The main setting is sleep-percentage in config.yml:

  • 0 = one player sleeps, everyone wakes up
  • 50 = half the server needs to be in bed
  • 100 = everyone has to sleep

Set per-world-sleep: false if you want global counting across all worlds.

See [config.yml](src/main/resources/config.yml) for every option and [messages.yml](src/main/resources/messages.yml) for message customization.

bStats

Onlysleep uses bStats for anonymous usage metrics. You can opt out in plugins/bStats/config.yml.
