About this project

What does Night Trials add?

Night Trials transforms Minecraft’s simple sleeping system into a more immersive and configurable survival mechanic. Instead of instantly skipping the entire night, players can experience a gradual passage of time, prevent night skipping completely, or keep the original vanilla sleeping behavior.

The mod can be configured to activate after a specific in-game day, making it ideal for survival worlds, hardcore challenges, modpacks, and long-term adventures where nights become more important as the game progresses.

Features

  • Choose the in-game day when the new sleeping mechanics activate.
  • Gradually advance the night instead of skipping it instantly.
  • Customize the sleeping duration from 10 to 600 seconds.

Three configurable sleeping modes:

  • Slow Skip: Time advances gradually while players sleep.
  • No Skip: Sleeping does not skip the night.
  • Vanilla: Uses Minecraft’s original sleeping behavior.
  • Modern Minecraft-style sleep progress interface.
  • Displays sleep percentage and remaining time.
  • Adjustable HUD size and screen position.
  • Support for Minecraft’s multiplayer sleeping percentage.
  • Optional sleep transition messages.
  • In-game configuration screen.

Perfect For

  • Hardcore survival worlds.
  • Zombie apocalypse and horror modpacks.
  • Long-term survival challenges.
  • “100 Days” adventures.
  • Players who want nights to feel dangerous and meaningful.

Configuration

All major features can be adjusted directly through the in-game configuration screen, including the activation day, sleeping mode, gradual skip duration, HUD visibility, HUD scale, HUD position, multiplayer support, and chat messages.

Night Trials requires Minecraft Forge 1.20.1.
