Hey Minecraft enthusiasts, welcome to our comprehensive tutorial on how to modify your Minecraft world or server settings so that only one player is required to sleep to skip the night. This clever tweak is perfect for multiplayer servers and worlds where waiting for everyone to rest can be a hassle. Let’s dive into how you can achieve this with a simple command.

Understanding the Command

The command we will be working with is a game rule command. Game rules are often used to change the game mechanics and behavior without the need for additional plugins or mods. This makes them incredibly handy for server owners and players who want to personalize their gameplay experience.

The Basic Setup

First things first, let’s get into the game rule command. To start, open the chat in your game and type a slash (/) followed by the word gameRule. This initializes the process to change specific settings in your Minecraft world.

Next, you type in playersSleeping. Note the capital S in Sleeping. For players on the Bedrock version, unfortunately, you will need to type the whole command out manually. Once this is done, you’re set for the next step.

Setting the Player Sleep Requirement

If your goal is to allow just one player to turn night into day, you should set the value to -1. This instruction is crucial as it informs the server that the night can be skipped with just one player going to bed.

Using Percentage for Player Sleep

In scenarios where you want a certain percentage of your players to sleep rather than only one, you can scale it accordingly. For example, if there are 10 players online and you want half the players to sleep, enter 50 as your parameter, representing 50% of the players. Adjust this based on how many players you want sleeping before the night is skipped.

Implementation in Gameplay

Let’s see this command in action. Once you have entered the command with the appropriate value, give yourself a bed using the game’s commands and set your game’s time to midnight. You’ll notice the sky turn pitch-black indicating it’s night.

Now, with the command correctly inputted, the moment a player sleeps, you should see a message appear indicating “sleeping through this night.” And just like magic, it’s daytime! This is a brilliant way to streamline nighttime activities without having every player hop into bed or be encumbered by waiting.

Versatility: Bedrock vs Java

The beauty of this command lies in its compatibility with both Minecraft Bedrock and Java editions. Minecraft is known for its diverse player base, and this command caters to both of the major versions, ensuring everyone can enjoy a seamless experience regardless of their platform.

Conclusion

This small but mighty command can drastically improve your server or world’s quality of life for players, reducing conflict and keeping the game flowing smoothly. Whether you want an entire server to vote on sleeping or just need that one-player magic, it’s achievable with this game rule setting. Feel free to experiment with different percentages and find what fits best for your community.
