About this Mod

Sleep in Darkness

Sleep in Darkness is a Minecraft mod that introduces a new survival challenge: players must be in a dark enough environment to sleep. This adds a new strategic element to base building and night-time survival.

The mod is designed with maximum compatibility in mind, using Balm for seamless multi-loader support (Fabric, Forge, NeoForge).

✨ Features

  • 🌌 Sleep Restriction Based on Light Level
    Players can only sleep when their current light level is below a configurable threshold. Torches, lanterns, and other light sources must be avoided to find suitable sleeping spots.

  • 🔧 Configurable Settings
    The light level threshold can be easily customized through the mod's config file. Adjust the challenge to fit your gameplay style.

🛠️ Compatible Mods

Sleep in Darkness is designed to work well alongside many popular mods that modify sleeping mechanics, world generation, or survival difficulty.

It is fully compatible with:

  • 🔗 Balm - Used as the multi-loader foundation.
  • 🔦 Mods that adjust world lighting - Sleep in Darkness reads actual in-game light levels and should not conflict.
  • 🌌 Mods that add new dimensions - Light level checks work in any dimension, as long as beds are functional.

If you encounter compatibility issues with a specific mod, please report it via the issue tracker.
