Overview

Vanilla Hytale only ends the night when every player in the world is in bed. On a busy server that means one player mining in a cave, one admin in Creative mode or one friend who went to make tea keeps everyone else staring at the dark. Lullaby fixes that. Choose a percentage or a fixed number of players, and once that many are asleep the night passes for the whole world.

Lullaby is a server plugin. It works in singleplayer worlds and on dedicated servers alike, players join with an unmodified client, and sleepers still get the real vanilla sleep clock, fade and success sound.

Features

Percent or count

Skip the night when 50% of the players sleep, the default, or pick any share from 0 to 100. Prefer a fixed number? Set a count such as 2 instead. A minimum number of sleepers keeps a lone player on a big server from skipping by themselves unless you allow it.

Fair counting

The threshold is measured against the players who should reasonably be asleep.

• Spectators never count.
• Players in Creative mode are left out by default.
• Players who have not moved, looked around or chatted for five minutes are left out, so an AFK player never holds up the night.
• Any player can opt out with /lullaby ignore, which is remembered across restarts.
• A player in bed always counts.

Vanilla feel

In native mode, the default, Lullaby takes over the two systems the game uses to end a night. Sleepers see the same sleep clock, the same grey fade and hear the same success sound as in vanilla. Players who stay awake simply see the morning arrive. If a future game update changes those systems, Lullaby notices on start, puts vanilla back and switches to its manual mode, which fast forwards the clock to morning instead.

Dynamic nights

Prefer a gentler rule? Turn on AllowDynamic and set the requirement to dynamic. Every sleeper makes the night run faster, up to 20 times as fast when everyone who counts is in bed, and the night ends when the clock reaches morning. Dynamic nights are experimental and stay off until you unlock them.

Progress messages

When the number of sleepers changes the world gets one chat line, such as Lullaby 2 of 5 players sleeping, 1 more needed. Players who are still awake also get it as a toast. After the skip everyone sees Lullaby the night was skipped, 3 players slept, and an optional big "Good morning" title.

Clear mornings

Storms and rain are cleared after a skip, using each area's own forecast, so a desert does not suddenly get forest weather. Weather forced by an admin is left alone.

Per world rules

Turn Lullaby off in a lobby, ask for every player in a hardcore world, or let two players skip the night in survival. Each world can override the requirement, the percentage, the count or switch Lullaby off entirely.

Admin commands

Admin permissions. Admin commands need two generated permission nodes at once, ryvrook.lullaby.command.lullaby.admin and the node of the sub command, for example ryvrook.lullaby.command.lullaby.admin.skip. The server console has every permission. Every other Lullaby command is open to all players.

• /lullaby admin skip ends the night now.
• /lullaby admin set percent 50, set count 2 and set dynamic change the rule on the fly.
• /lullaby admin world lobby enabled false turns Lullaby off in one world.
• /lullaby admin reload re-reads the config.

Small touches

• A cooldown after each skip so nights cannot chain.
• Nights skipped are counted per world.
• No /sleep command, so Lullaby never clashes with other mods that use it.

Getting started

1. Download Lullaby-1.0.0.jar.
2. Put it in your Mods folder, or the mods/ folder of a dedicated server.
3. Start the server. Lullaby writes Lullaby.json to mods/Ryvrook_Lullaby with every option at its default.
4. Lie down in a bed at night. Once half the players do the same, the night passes.

Commands
