Time spent sleeping affects time consuming activities

I would like to see in the game that when the player sleeps, time-consuming processes take into account the amount of time passed from sleeping. ex: your smelting items are finished smelting when you wake up. although such a feature would be nice, I can't imagine implementing it for all time-consuming processes would be at all simple, but a solution I thought of was, on entering the bed, the game begins to run at full speed instead of waiting for ticks and the player wakes up when the time gets to morning. this is flawed though because the time that it would take to sleep would vary upon how fast the user's computer is and how laggy the game in any given situation. -Gabe Rundlett

  This would be difficult to implement - suddenly increasing the tick speed every time you sleep would hurt some people's computer performance - and it also would be immensely exploited to get tons of smelting done instantly. I like your desire for realism, but I don't think it would work here.

  Maybe what the developers could do is have the furnace smelt a extra 8 items or so in the time you sleep, and the tick performance shouldn’t be affected because everyone has to be in a bed

  Maybe what could be done is that the devoplers examine how many iron/gold is smelted from when people can “sleep”(aka sunset) to the daybreak of the game, then code it so when you sleep, that many items is Auto smelted but it only works at night or if there is a mod that lets you sleep anytime of the day
