DreamSkip [Paper]
Managing night cycles on a busy Minecraft server can quickly turn into a chore. One player forgets to sleep, another is deep in a cave, and the rest of the group stands around waiting for dawn. DreamSkip [Paper] solves that friction with a lightweight, intuitive plugin that transforms how your community handles bedtime. Once the required number of players hit their beds, the night instantly flips to day — no commands, no voting, just smooth survival gameplay.
What Makes DreamSkip [Paper] Stand Out
Unlike clunky sleep-vote plugins that spam chat or require manual commands, DreamSkip [Paper] works silently in the background. It’s built specifically for Paper servers, taking full advantage of the platform’s performance optimizations. The plugin tracks sleeping players in real time and triggers the time skip the moment the threshold is met. A sleek bossbar appears on screen for every player, showing exactly how many more people need to sleep with a progress bar and a color gradient that shifts from red to green as the count rises. This visual feedback keeps everyone informed without breaking immersion.
Core Features at a Glance
- Instant night-to-day transition once the required number of players are sleeping.
- Dynamic bossbar message displaying “required players (x/x)” with a progress bar and color scale.
- Fully configurable required player amount per world.
- Toggle the entire plugin on or off for individual worlds.
- Persistent JSON-based storage that remembers settings across server restarts.

How to Install DreamSkip [Paper] on Your Server
Getting DreamSkip [Paper] for Minecraft up and running takes less than a minute. First, make sure your server runs Paper — the plugin is designed exclusively for this fork of the Minecraft server software and won’t work on vanilla or other modded platforms. Download DreamSkip [Paper] from the official source and place the JAR file into your server’s plugins folder. After a quick restart, the plugin will generate its default configuration and start working immediately. The default required player amount is set to one, so you can test the night skip right away.
If you manage your server through the foxygame.net launcher, adding DreamSkip [Paper] is even easier. The launcher’s built-in add-on catalog lets you install the plugin with a single click, and it automatically matches the correct version to your Paper server, so you never have to worry about compatibility or manual updates.
Configuration and Persistent Storage
All settings for DreamSkip [Paper] are stored in a clean JSON file located at plugins/DreamSkip/dreamskip_worldconfig.json. The file is automatically loaded on server startup and saved whenever you make changes via commands or when the server stops. Each world entry contains two simple fields: plugin_online (true/false) and Playeramount (an integer). This structure makes it trivial to back up your configuration or transfer settings between servers. Because the storage is persistent, you never lose your per-world preferences after a reboot.
Why DreamSkip [Paper] Belongs on Every Multiplayer Server
Night skipping isn’t just a convenience — it’s a quality-of-life feature that reduces frustration and keeps players engaged. On large survival servers, waiting for a single stubborn player to find a bed can stall progress for everyone. DreamSkip [Paper] eliminates that bottleneck while still respecting the need for a collective action. The configurable player amount means you can tailor the experience: set it to 50% of online players for a democratic feel, or keep it at one for small private worlds. The per-world toggle also lets you disable the feature in adventure or minigame worlds where night is essential.
Another advantage is the plugin’s lightweight footprint. DreamSkip [Paper] doesn’t add unnecessary entities, complex databases, or heavy tick loops. It hooks into Paper’s existing sleep mechanics and only runs checks when a player enters a bed. This keeps your server’s TPS stable even with dozens of players online.
