Title

Overview

Midnight Thoughts expands the sleep experience in Minecraft, transforming sleep from a passive skip mechanic into a meaningful gameplay system.

Core idea

Sleep is no longer just a way to skip the night — it becomes part of progression, storytelling, and competition.

Goal​

The goal of the mod is to make sleep an active gameplay mechanic rather than a passive action.

Instead of simply skipping the night, sleep becomes:

  • a storytelling system through dreams and nightmares
  • a progression system with buffs and rewards
  • a social competition system between players

This encourages players to go to bed not just for survival, but for progress, interaction, and competition.

What the mod adds​

Where to start​

New to the mod?

Read comfort system first. Almost everything else — the buff level, whether you get nightmares, whether you can sleep at all — follows from it.

Server owners will want for servers and commands.

Modpack authors adding their own rules should look at KubeJS or the Java API.
