About

Description

Runs on: Minecraft 26.3 on Fabric, and 1.21.11, 1.21.10 and 1.21.8 on Fabric and on NeoForge. No Fabric API needed. Older versions: the original Better Safe Bed covers Fabric and NeoForge up to 1.21.7. Each file was tested on a real dedicated server, next to a control boot without the mod.

"You may not rest now, there are monsters nearby." Your house is sealed, the bed is against the wall, and a zombie is shuffling around outside or in the cave under the floor. In vanilla any monster within 8 blocks of the bed (5 up or down) keeps you awake, whether or not it can reach you. With this mod a monster only stops you sleeping if it is actually after you. If something is hunting you, the bed still refuses.

Drop the jar in mods/ on the server; players install nothing and join with a normal client. There is no config file and no command.

This is a continuation of Better Safe Bed by frankV (MIT, about 3 million CurseForge and 1 million Modrinth downloads, last released in November 2024), ported to the versions after it with full credit; the original author is not involved. Original project: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/better-safe-bed . The rule is the original's: a monster counts only if its current target is the player trying to sleep. Monsters with their own rule in vanilla, like zombified piglins, keep it. The original licence and a notice listing every change are inside the jar.

What the tests showed on each file, with a vanilla-protocol player right-clicking a real bed at night in survival mode: without the mod an idle zombie nearby gets the refusal. With it, the player sleeps beside an idle zombie, skeleton, creeper and spider and wakes as usual. A live zombie penned behind a fence and after the player gets the refusal, and sleep works again once it is gone.

Not tested: singleplayer, a real game client, more than one player in the same world, a monster that is after a different player, and modded monsters.

Compatibility: Minecraft 26.3 (Java 25) with Fabric Loader, and 1.21.8, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11 (Java 21) with Fabric Loader or NeoForge; pick the file for your version and loader. Do not install it next to the original. Licence: MIT, continued from Better Safe Bed by frankV with the original licence and a notice of every change in the jar.
