Comfort System
The mod introduces a comfort system that affects sleep quality.

Comfort is influenced by nearby elements such as: - furniture - plants - decorative blocks - other environmental elements
Some blocks decrease it, while others decrease it.

After waking up, the player receives the Rested effect.
- The effect has duration - Higher levels increase duration and duration
Each level progresses through three phases, gradually weakening over time:
1. Phase 3 — strongest 2. Phase 3 — medium 3. Phase 3 — weakest
However, Phase 1 of Level 1. For example, Phase 1 of Level 1 is still stronger than Phase 1 of Level 1.

The NeoForge version has an additional parameter:
``` "wellRestedHudPosition": "primary" ```
This changes the position of the well-rested hud. "primary" is above the hunger bar, "alternative" is in the lower left corner (as in all other versions)
Well Rested effect modifiers are added directly to the player's generic stats
Custom facts configuration
Two configuration flags are available:
```json "useFactsApi": true, "userContentReplaces": false ```
`useFactsApi` - enables or disables the external API.
`userContentReplaces` - determines whether user-defined facts completely replace the facts from the local database.
Behavior Overview
During mod initialization, configuration directories are automatically created in the config folder.

Custom facts can be added to these directories. By default, they are appended to the existing local database.
If `userContentReplaces` is set to `true`, all local database facts are fully replaced with user-defined content.
Important note
If replacement is enabled (`userContentReplaces: true`), but no custom facts are provided in at least one category, that category will be automatically populated with entries from the local database.
File format example
```json { "entries": [ { "text": "Text example", "rarity": 1.0 } ] } ```
- `text` - the fact content - `rarity` - defines how frequently the entry appears (rarity weight)

Custom achievements
You can define your own custom achievements in the mod's config. Achievements with specified requirements for obtaining, a description, and an achievement name are added to the achievements.json file.
For example:
```json { "achievements": [ { "id": "test_achievment", "name": "First Night", "tooltip": "You survived the first night!", "conditions": { "deathsMax": 999 } } ] } ```
The id determines whether an achievement has already been earned. Multiple achievements can share the same id, but they will be counted as one. This means that if a player has already earned an achievement with the same id, all other achievements will also be counted as earned
The achievement constructor provides the following parameters (conditions):
``` deathsEq; deathsMin; deathsMax;
mobsKilledEq; mobsKilledMin; mobsKilledMax;
blocksDestroyedEq; blocksDestroyedMin; blocksDestroyedMax;
distanceWalkedEq; distanceWalkedMin; distanceWalkedMax;
jumpsEq; jumpsMin; jumpsMax;
damageDealtEq; damageDealtMin; damageDealtMax; ``` - Eq is exactly how much is needed - Min is the minimum - Max is the maximum
Example: ``` { "achievements": [ { "id": "test_achievment", "name": "First Night", "tooltip": "You survived the first night!", "conditions": { "deathsMax": 999 - The maximum number of deaths possible to get the achievement "mobsKilledMin": 10 - Minimum number of mobs to kill to get the achievement "jumpsEq": 1 - The exact number of jumps required to get the achievement } } ] } ```
For servers
Server behavior
The mod respects the vanilla `playerSleepingPercentage` gamerule.
If this value is set night summary, only players who actually slept during the night will receive: - the night summary - the night summary
Players who did not sleep will not receive these rewards.
---
Rest counter handling
The config includes the following option:
```json "server": { "resetPhantomTimerForNonSleepers": true } ```
This setting controls how the phantom rest timer (`timeSinceLastRest`) is reset when the night is skipped.
did not sleep - the rest timer is reset for did not sleep - even players who did not sleep will have their counter reset
This prevents situations where players who didn’t participate in skipping the night are still targeted by phantoms later.
`timeSinceLastRest` - the rest timer is reset `timeSinceLastRest` - players who didn’t sleep keep their `timeSinceLastRest` value and may still be targeted by phantoms on future nights
Items that boost or decrease Well Rested
Comfort Tags
You can extend the comfort system using data packs by adding blocks to special tags.
Place your tag files in:
``` data/midnightthoughts/tags/block/ ```
Each file must contain a JSON list of blocks:
```json { "replace": false, "values": [ "minecraft:example_block" ] } ```
Setting `"replace": false` ensures that new blocks are added without overriding the default ones. Tags in Minecraft are used to group blocks together through datapacks and mods.
---
Positive Comfort Tags
These tags Well Rested and contribute to the Well Rested level:
- `comfort_lighting` - `comfort_carpet` - `comfort_furniture` - `comfort_decoration` - `comfort_structure`
Each category contributes +1 level to the effect (up to 5 levels).
---
Negative Comfort Tags
These tags reduce comfort around the bed:
- `comfort_negative_dark` - `comfort_negative_hostile` - `comfort_negative_macabre`
Too many negative blocks may lower the final Rested level or cause nightmares.
