About this project
What does Ground Sleep add?
Ground Sleep
Ground Sleep lets you sleep directly on the ground without placing a bed, making exploration, camping, and survival adventures much more convenient while staying balanced with vanilla gameplay.
Simply sneak (Shift) + right-click the top of a solid block with an empty hand to lie down and go to sleep.
Features
- 🛌 Sleep directly on the ground.
- 🌙 No bed required.
- ⌛ Ground sleeping takes longer than a normal bed.
- 🍖 Costs a small amount of hunger when you lie down.
- 🐌 Applies Slowness I for 5 seconds after waking up.
- 🎭 Uses a proper lying-down animation.
- ⚖️ Designed to feel like a natural vanilla feature.
Vanilla Rules Still Apply
Ground Sleep follows Minecraft's normal sleeping restrictions.
You can only sleep if:
- It is a valid time and dimension for sleeping.
- There are no nearby hostile monsters.
- Rain is not falling directly on the player.
- There is enough room to lie down (solid ground and sufficient free space).
If any vanilla sleeping condition fails, sleeping will also fail.
How to Use
- Empty your main hand.
- Sneak (Shift).
- Right-click the top of a solid block.
- Your player lies down.
- After a slightly longer delay than a normal bed, you fall asleep.
