Slumber
Have you ever been stuck waiting for the night to end in Minecraft, with nothing to do but stare at the darkness? You and your friends are all in bed, but the morning still feels like an eternity away. The Slumber add-on solves this problem in a revolutionary way. Instead of just skipping to dawn, Slumber accelerates the entire server tick while everyone sleeps. This means blocks, entities, random ticks, and even weather all progress at an incredible speed, making your server more efficient and your gameplay smoother.
What Makes Slumber Different?
Vanilla Minecraft has a simple night-skip mechanic. When all players sleep, the game fast-forwards the time of day. Slumber takes this concept and supercharges it. It runs extra full ticks, so everything in your world advances. Crops grow, furnaces smelt, and mobs move, all while you are tucked in. This is not just a time-skip; it is a full world simulation boost.
Full World Ticking and All Dimensions
The mod is designed to be non-invasive, using event hooks to run extra world ticks without coremodding. This ensures compatibility with most mods. Slumber applies to every loaded dimension, including the Overworld, Nether, and End, as well as any modded dimensions you might have. Whether you are farming in the overworld or managing a base in the Nether, everything progresses while you sleep.
Server and Singleplayer Support
Slumber works flawlessly on dedicated servers and in integrated singleplayer. The mod runs server-side, so clients do not need to install anything to join a server using it. It adds no items or blocks, keeping your game vanilla-friendly. The only requirement is that the server has the mod installed. For singleplayer or LAN worlds, simply drop the JAR file into your mods/ folder.
How Does the Activation Work?
The activation rule is simple: every non-spectator player on the server must be sleeping. Spectators are ignored for this check. If any non-spectator is awake, Slumber does nothing, and the vanilla behavior applies. This prevents any single player from slowing down the group's progress. The mod temporarily disables the vanilla night-skip while simulating, restoring it once the simulation ends.
Configurable Speed with a Gamerule
Slumber is highly configurable. The speed is controlled by a gamerule called slumberTickMultiplier. This integer value defaults to 20. The total server tick multiplier applies while all players sleep. For example, a value of 20 means 1 normal tick plus 19 extra ticks per server tick, resulting in roughly 20 times the normal speed. The minimum effective value is 1, which means no acceleration. You can set the multiplier with the command /gamerule slumberTickMultiplier 30 and read the current value with /gamerule slumberTickMultiplier.
When you are ready to enhance your gameplay, you can easily download Slumber from trusted mod repositories. The installation is straightforward, and you will notice the difference immediately. For those looking for a seamless experience, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install for Slumber, ensuring you get the correct version for your loader without any hassle. This launcher simplifies mod management, making it easier than ever to jump into a faster-paced game.
Performance and Compatibility
It is important to understand the performance cost. The higher the slumberTickMultiplier, the more work the server does per real-time second. Large multipliers with many loaded chunks can impact MSPT (milliseconds per tick). The recommendation is to start with a multiplier of 20 and adjust from there. If your server approaches 50+ MSPT during sleep, consider reducing the value. Extremely heavy tick-based mods may amplify the cost of higher multipliers.
Supported Versions and Loaders
Slumber requires Minecraft 1.21.1 or later. It supports NeoForge, Forge, and Fabric, so you need to match the mod version to your Minecraft version and loader. The mod is designed to be compatible with most other mods, but it is always a good idea to test for conflicts. The foxygame.net launcher also helps with version compatibility, automatically selecting the right build of Slumber for your setup, and it can handle auto-updates to keep your mod current.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does Slumber change loot or gameplay rules? No. It only changes how many world ticks run while everyone sleeps. All game mechanics remain the same.
- Does it force morning instantly? No. The vanilla fast-forward is suppressed during the simulation. Once it is naturally day, or someone wakes up, the original threshold is restored, and vanilla behavior proceeds.
- Does it affect only the Overworld? No. All loaded dimensions tick equally, so your progress in the Nether and End is also accelerated.
How to Install Slumber
To install Slumber, you first need to know how to install it correctly. For a client (singleplayer or LAN), drop the JAR into your mods/ folder. For a dedicated server, drop the JAR into the server's mods/ folder. All connected clients only need to join the modded server; they do not need the mod themselves. It is a server-side mod, so the process is simple and quick.
If you are using a launcher, the process is even easier. The foxygame.net launcher provides an add-on catalog where you can find Slumber for Minecraft and install it with a single click, managing all the dependencies for you. This is a great option for players who want to avoid manual file management.
Conclusion
Slumber is a game-changing add-on for anyone who plays Minecraft with friends. It turns a boring waiting period into a productive simulation, advancing your world in ways vanilla Minecraft cannot. With its configurable speed, multi-dimension support, and compatibility with major loaders, it is a must-have for any server. Whether you are a server admin looking to optimize tick rates or a player who wants faster crop growth, Slumber delivers.
