Sleep overlay
When the player goes to bed, they see an overlay.
The overlay includes an image of the moon and random facts, or an image of a skull and corresponding nightmares.
The moon displays the current phase of the Minecraft world.
To trigger nightmares, the sleeping comfort must be less than 0. If it's greater than -1, the player won't be able to sleep at all. More information about comfort is available in the comfort system tab.
The overlay is fully customizable.
