Beds are **overpowered**, but also **vital for many players**.<\/p>\n
The difficulty spike that is nighttime arguably plays a major part in keeping Minecraft interesting, especially the first few days, and being able to skip it feels upfair.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, that “difficult” moment usually ends up being sitting on a pillar doing nothing for 10 minutes. That’s not difficult, just annoying.<\/p>\n
This datapack\/mod fixes this by making phantoms spawn when you sleep, so if your bed isn’t protected, you will get attacked.
\nBy enouraging players to make a proper shelter, you can sleep when at home and safe (so night wouldn’t pose a threat anyway) but not sleep when you’re out in the open (where mobs can get you). Now, if night is likely to be a fun challenge, you’re better off not sleeping, but if it will probably be boring, you should sleep instead.<\/p>\n
Also useful for **modpack authors** or players who want to balance beds more so that you can’t just plop a bed down in the middle of nowhere and skip the night.<\/p>\n
TIP: If you want to turn off phantom spawning for when you DON’T sleep in a bed for 3 nights, turn off the `doInsomnia` gamerule either when creating a new world or with the command (requires cheats) `\/gamerule doInsomnia false`.<\/p>\n

## FAQ:
\n### How do I use it?
\nWhen creating a new world, you can **add datapacks through the menu**.
\n### Can I install it as a mod?
\nSure, check the **Versions page** for downloads. This will make it install for **every world** instead of just whatever you put it in.
\n### Safe to uninstall?
\nYup!
\nAs a datapack, take the `.zip` out of your datapack folder.
\nAs a mod, remove the `.jar` from the mods folder.
\n### Can I use this in Modpacks?
\nSure! Just please leave credit \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
