Seamless Sleep

Seamless Sleep is a server-client mod that turns going to bed into a smooth, in-world transition instead of a hard cut to daytime.

The whole night-skipping sequence is animated locally on the client, so it doesn’t depend on the server or a perfect connection – the transition stays consistent and fluid for the player even with higher latency. A subtle overlay indicates that the night is being skipped so you always know what’s happening.

Features

• Smooth night → day transition
  Replaces the abrupt time jump with a clean, blended animation when players sleep.

• Shared sleep animation
  The transition is synchronized visually so all players see the same progression as the night is skipped.

• Sleep HUD polish

  • Brightens and cleans up the default sleep HUD.
  • Slightly tilts the camera while you’re in bed for a more relaxed feeling.

• Configurable chat while sleeping
  Adjust the opacity of both chat text and background specifically during sleep.
  Useful for servers where players still talk while skipping the night.

• Cleaned-up messages
  Hides the vanilla “passing the night” text and replaces it with a more subtle indicator.

Multiplayer timing & clock sync

If you notice that your sleep animation on a server is happening much later than other players, it’s usually a local clock issue on your machine.

To fix it:

• Open the Date & Time settings in Windows.
• Enable automatic time synchronization or manually sync the system clock with an internet time server.
• Done!

Once your system time is corrected, your sleep animation should line up much more closely with everyone else’s.

Configuration

Seamless Sleep integrates with:

• Mod Menu – quick access to settings from the mods list.

All options are saved in seamless_sleep.json, so advanced users can tweak things directly if they want.
