work. Create an issue on the issue tracker if you've found an incompatibility!

FAQ
Q: Will you be backporting this to lower Minecraft versions?
A: No.Q: Does this mod work in multiplayer?
A: Yes! The speed of the night scales for each player that's sleeping at the same time. The scale curve can be changed in the config.Q: Does only the server need this mod or does the client need it too?
A: Only the server needs this mod (but it works on the client too if you're going to host LAN or play singleplayer). There's optional
clientside support for the cloud speed multiplier and a sleep vignette config option.Q: Can you still avoid rain/thunder by sleeping?
A: Yes. After sleeping until dawn the weather will become clear. I might make this configurable in the future, let me know if you want
this.Q: Does this mod speed up things like furnaces, redstone, the raid timer, and other (modded) block entities?
A: Yes!
