OnlySleep

Onlysleep

One player sleeps. Everyone wakes up.

Onlysleep lets your server skip the night without waiting for every player to find a bed. One sleeper is enough by default, but you can require any percentage from 0 to 100. Install the JAR, restart the server, and the default configuration is ready to use.

• 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
• Optional update checks and anonymous bStats metrics

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

Aliases: /os, /sleep

| Permission | Default | Description |
|————|———|————-|
| onlysleep.* | OP | All permissions |
| onlysleep.command | Everyone | Use commands |
| onlysleep.info | OP | View plugin info |
| onlysleep.reload | OP | Reload config |
| onlysleep.status | OP | View status |
| onlysleep.exempt | None | Excluded from sleep (operators sleep by default) |
| onlysleep.update | OP | Update alerts |

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 for every option and messages.yml for message customization.

If you have PlaceholderAPI installed, these placeholders are available:
