One player sleep options in servers.

I suggest the option to add in the server folder or in the settings for local player the ability to toggle on/off one player sleep for the minecraft server. I like the ability to have one person when ever it is night be able to make it day as needed. there are server plugins that allow this ability but it would be really cool for this feature to be in minecraft by default. The server settings could have something like.

OnePlayerSleep = True/False 

and so when this is changed it would allow the server to be either hard core everyone must work together to make it day time or if you just want to just have it run vanilla like a solo player world with people in it you could turn it to true and when ever it is night people can just sleep and turn it to day. 

or if the actual settings had one player sleep in the "local play" when you clicked on it it could make local play a little more tolerable for long periods of time. 

The reason why I want this is because I don't want to add plug ins to servers just to add this feature but I feel like a one player sleep is the most vanilla thing about solo survival.

    If added, it should definitely be under the game cheats and specify number and/or percent of players required to perform the sleep cycle.

    Yes please! My friend is constantly spamming SLEEP I’m ABOUT TO DIE in chat, and I’m tired of it. But please make it available without cheats on, like coordinates. (Bedrock edition)

    You can easily use a command to make this happen, I think there is an add-on or mod too

    why cant 1 player sleep just be a regular option for everyone? I don't like the 'just servers' idea.

    I have been thinking about this as well.  Sleeping becomes more of an issue the more players are in a game.  It would be awesome to have some options like "all" (which is the only current option), "majority", "half", and "one".

    Naturally, the issue is more complicated than it appears at first blush.  Sleeping impacts game mechanics that others may be relying on such as weather and insomnia.  If you are out in a lightning storm trying to collect charged creepers and another player sleeps...  bummer.  That's why I suggest the additional options like "half" and "majority".

    Yea needs to be some changes so many times on my realm someone gone AFK and another really needs to sleep so they don’t die.

    I would not put it under cheats though, I would set it so Majority of plays on realm at given time sleep then night skips.
    But the everyone sleep is a big issue.

    maybe if the game checks if the other players have set their spawn point to a different location to the World Spawn for balance? This would be a Great idea

    skipNight=100% // All players need to sleep to skip night
    skipNight=50% // Half of players on need to sleep to skip night
    skipNight=1 // One player skip
    skipNight=0% // Invalid value
    skipNight=0 // Also invalid
    Better than true and false.

    This should also be an option on single player worlds using 1 simple command (and options menu on Bedrock), at the moment you can only do this on Java with elaborate command setups / functions.

    You should be able to set it by percent or actual amount, example:

    /gamerule playersRequiredToSleep 100% (default)

    /gamerule playersRequiredToSleep 1 (only 1 player required)

    /gamerule playersRequiredToSleep 3% (3% of players minimum, for example with 10 players this would mean 1 player = 10% which is > than 3%)

    /gamerule playersRequiredToSleep 10 (10 players required to sleep, if only 9 players online then only 9 should be required)

    yes this is a much needed option on Realms/Servers, it near impossible to skip the night without cheats on, using command blocks that lag out the realms cause they need to be a ticking zone to always be active. when you have more then 2 people on at a time no one getting any sleep and the better half of the new players just end up dying constantly, then ya have to listen to them complain there not a one person sleep, and the other half complaining not to turn cheats on cause they will lose their ability to get achievements.  .

    This would be really handy for SMP servers with multiple people, I have never got any type of "sleep system" to work

    As a server admin, i'd really hope this stays optional. I already have a multiplayer sleep function running that works exactly as I want it and would still like to be able to ignore the default if it doesn't do what I want.

    That being said, I understand not everyone is a programmer, so a way to allow players to sleep without organizing a server wide sleep party every 20 min (which sounds horrible).

    I'm definitely in on the side that wants this to be a slider instead of a toggle since some communities want options other than 1 player or all players.

    On larger servers, you may have some players that need to sleep to stop phantoms spawning, but another group of players that need it to stay night while hunting or working with certain mobs.

    This would be a great function if to help with Phantoms, I'm thinking this wouldn't be beyond competent coders of Minecraft.

    Obviously don't make time go faster for players not sleeping.

    This has been added in 1.17 as a gamerule: playersSleepingPercentage. Set it to 0 to make night skip when one player is sleeping.

    This should be for all worlds as a command and it should also be in the bedrock version

    The struggle I go through to make Redstone powered sleeps systems for all my multi player maps is ridiculous. Please just give us the option finally. We've waited for too long.

    Id prefer if you could set a Percentage or how many. one player could screw up hunting for hostile mobs but having people caving all the time not sleeping screw up people trying to build or explore. people complaining on a server and was looking into it and ran across this.
