NightSkipper

🌙 NightSkipper — Smart Night Skip for Minecraft

NightSkipper is a lightweight and reliable plugin that automatically skips the night
when a configured percentage of players in a world are sleeping. Supports EssentialsX AFK, vanish, and spectator mode.

🧩 Version Compatibility

✨ Features

✅ Flexible world configuration — choose which worlds the night skip works in
✅ Customizable sleep percentage — from 0% to 100% of players required to skip night
✅ Supports AFK and Vanish players from EssentialsX
✅ Players in Spectator mode or with the essentials.sleepingignored permission are ignored
✅ Sleep progress displayed via ActionBar
✅ Custom chat and ActionBar messages using MiniMessage
✅ Anti-spam protection to prevent repeated skipping
✅ Full multi-world support
✅ /nskipper reload command to reload the config without restarting the server

⚙️ How It Works

1. A player goes to sleep → everyone in the world sees an ActionBar:
   Sleeping: 1/4 | Needed: 1
2. When the required fraction of players is asleep (or AFK) — countdown begins:
   • Message appears: "Night is being skipped..."
   • After ~3 seconds, the night is skipped.
3. The world transitions to morning, storms and rain are cleared.
