🛏️ Realm Sleep Rules

Gumdum uses different sleep rules for Hardcore and SMP.

Hardcore: One-Player Sleep

On Hardcore, one sleeping player can skip the night for everyone.

This keeps the pace moving and prevents one night owl from holding the entire realm hostage while searching for a suspiciously specific cave.

SMP: Approximately 30% Sleep

The SMP server requires approximately 30% of online players to sleep before night is skipped.

The Official SMP Formula™

You'll havta do SMP math. 😂

Someone in chat will eventually say:

Need one more sleeper!

When players ask to skip the night, sleep when practical or say why you cannot. Do not repeatedly ignore the group just to stretch out the darkness.
