Better Safe Bed — Modern Port for Minecraft 26.3 (NeoForge)

Sleep peacefully even when monsters lurk nearby out of reach.

Normally, if a monster is within 8 blocks horizontally and 5 blocks vertically from your bed, you get "You may not rest now, there are monsters nearby" — even if that monster is in a cave beneath your base, outside its walls, or on its roof, and could never reach you.

This mod adds an extra check: a monster only prevents resting if it is actually targeting you. Sleep when you're safe.

Now with a modern port for Minecraft 26.3 (NeoForge) — server-side mechanism only, no GUI/render.

What it does

• Monster.isPreventingPlayerRest returns true only when the monster targets that specific player
• Server-side; doesn't need to be on the client in multiplayer

Modern port notes (26.3)

• Single-mixin port, same behaviour as the original
• Built and verified in CI via GitHub Actions, including a headless runtime test that launches the client, joins a world, and quits cleanly

Installation

1. Install NeoForge for Minecraft 26.3
2. Drop bettersafebed263-*-neoforge-*.jar into your mods folder
