One player sleeps. Everyone wakes up.
Supports: Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, Purpur, Folia, and compatible forks (Minecraft 1.20.4–26.2, Java 21+; Paper 26.1+ requires Java 25)
A clean, lightweight sleep plugin that does one thing well: skip the night when a player goes to bed. No bloat, no wall of config you'll never touch. Just drop it in, and it works.
One player sleeping is the default. If you want a different threshold, say half the server or everyone, you can set that too. Weather clears alongside the night. The whole thing is per-world, so a player sleeping in world_nether won't skip the overworld.
- One-player sleep by default, or any percentage (0-100%)
- Per-world sleep counting (each world tracks separately)
- Weather skip: clear rain and thunder independently
- Boss bar, action bar, progress bar, and title support
- Configurable sounds when a player starts sleeping and when night is skipped
- AFK detection (built-in tracker, plus EssentialsX and CMI)
- Smart filtering: spectators, creative, flying, exempt permissions, disabled gamemodes
- Automatic gamerule management for
playersSleepingPercentage - PlaceholderAPI integration (12+ placeholders)
- Update checker and bStats (anonymous, opt-out available)
- Download the latest
Onlysleep-*.jarfrom Modrinth, Hangar, or GitHub Releases. - Drop it into your server's
plugins/folder. - Restart your server.
- Edit
plugins/Onlysleep/config.ymlto your liking. - Apply changes with
/onlysleep reload.
