OnePlayerSleep
Version: 3.6.4 | Author: Luno | License: MIT

A lightweight, optimized Minecraft plugin that allows a single player to skip the night by sleeping, without requiring all online players to sleep. Ideal for servers where players are spread across different areas or time zones.
Overview
OnePlayerSleep replaces Minecraft's default sleep requirement with a single-player trigger. When any player sleeps, the night is skipped for the entire server. The plugin is fully configurable, permission-aware, and built for minimal performance impact.
Features
- Single player can skip night for the entire server
- Optional weather clearing when night is skipped
- Fully customizable plugin name, messages, and colors
- Simple enable, disable, and reload commands
- LuckPerms-compatible permission system
- Toggle broadcasts, command messages, and console logging independently
- Message and config caching for minimal overhead
- Supports Minecraft 1.16 through 1.21+
Installation
- Download
OnePlayerSleep-xx.jar - Place the JAR file in your server's
plugins/directory - Restart the server (or use
/reload confirmat your own risk) - The configuration file will be auto-generated at

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work with sleeping percentage plugins? OnePlayerSleep bypasses the vanilla sleep percentage requirement entirely. It may conflict with other sleep plugins.
Can I require 2 players to sleep instead of 1? No. This plugin is designed specifically for single-player sleep triggering.
Does it work in the Nether or End? No. Sleeping only functions in the Overworld, as per Minecraft's core mechanics.
Will it work on Minecraft 1.12 or older? No. The minimum supported version is 1.16 due to API requirements.
Can I disable the startup messages?
Yes. Set message-settings.console-logging: false in your config.
Does weather clearing affect thunderstorms?
Yes. When weather-clear: true, both rain and thunder are cleared when night is skipped.
