Hi! Have you ever wanted to adjust the percentage of players required to skip the night on a Minecraft server? It’s totally possible—and you don’t need any plugins or mods to do it!

How to Use the playersSleepingPercentage Gamerule
Basic Command: Use the following command in the chat or server console:
/gamerule playersSleepingPercentage <percentage>
Replace <percentage> with your desired value.
Examples:
0: Allows any single player to skip the night.
50: Requires half of the players to sleep.
100: All players must sleep to skip the night (default behavior).
Practical Example: If you want only 20% of connected players to need to sleep to skip the night:
/gamerule playersSleepingPercentage 20
Important Notes:
This command requires admin permissions or cheats enabled.
It works in single-player worlds and Vanilla servers or servers with mods like Paper/Spigot.
You can also run this command from the console without the /.
