There was a recent discussion on the server regarding the new requirements for skipping a night, and I wanted to create this to find others opinions on the matter.
As a relatively new player to the server, I don't know what the previous requirements were, but I believe for roughly the last month the requirements for 'sleeping through a night' have been: at least 1 player must be in a bed, and at least 50% of players in the overworld must be in a bed or AFK.
Recently this was updated to be: at least 50% of players must be in a bed.
This can appear quite a small change, given that every player can simply keep a bed on them at all times.
Thankfully,the /home command already largely deals with the issue of the ever-moving respawn point caused by this but given that over the last 10 years of Minecraft, there have been over 600 items added and the player inventory hasn't increased in size- each slot in the inventory has become all the more precious. This, alongside the fact that it's difficult to negotiate any more than about 4 players sleeping at the same time making it near impossible to skip the night during the server's busiest times has caused issues for many players who are now spending a lot of real-world time, simply waiting for sunrise.
I wonder whether there is enough demand to again change the requirements, and what could possibly be implemented instead.
I hope this post sparks a healthy discussion & finds a satisfying outcome.
All the best to everybody.
