Sleeping Entities
intermediate
This tutorial will explain how to make entity sleep.
Sleeping in beds
This behavior is inspired from villagers.
Features
- Entity sleeps during the night and wakes up at day time.
- Interaction with entity will wake it up and after a while it goes sleeping again.
- If entity is hurt, it wakes up.
Behavior Pack
In this section behavior pack components will be discussed.
Components
Let's start with some basic components that you need to add to your entity.
"minecraft:dweller": {
"dwelling_type": "village",
"dweller_role": "inhabitant",
"can_find_poi": true
}

Undocumented, needed for entity to be able to sleep.
"minecraft:environment_sensor": {
"triggers": [
{
"filters": {
"test": "is_daytime",
"value": false
},
"event": "sleep"
}
]
}

This component is required for entity understand when to sleep. It runs event if it isn't day time.
WARNING
You need some basic navigation components for your entity be able to move to bed.
Component Groups
Now you need some component groups for your entity with some components.
"sleeping": {
"minecraft:behavior.sleep": {
"priority": 0,
"goal_radius": 1.5,
"speed_multiplier": 1.25,
"sleep_collider_height": 0.3,
"sleep_collider_width": 1,
"sleep_y_offset": 0.6,
"timeout_cooldown": 10
},
"minecraft:damage_sensor": {
"triggers": {
"on_damage": {
"event": "wake_up"
}
}
},
"minecraft:environment_sensor": {
"triggers": [
{
"filters": {
"test": "is_daytime",
"value": true
},
"event": "wake_up"
}
]
},
"minecraft:interact": {
"interactions": [
{
"on_interact": {
"filters": {
"all_of": [
{
"test": "is_family",
"subject": "other",
"value": "player"
}
]
},
"event": "woken_up"
}
}
]

minecraft:behavior.sleep
Determines sleep details, priority needs to be at 0 (the biggest weight).
- `minecraft:damage_sensor``
Add it if you want your entity wake up if it is being attacked.
minecraft:environment_sensor
Runs wake_up event when it is day time.
minecraft:interact
This makes player to be able wake up entity without hurting it.
"sleep_timer": {
"minecraft:timer": {
"time": 15,
"time_down_event": {
"event": "sleep_again"
}
}
}

This component group is required for entity to fall asleep again (with some delay) after it was woken up.
Events
Here you will find all events that you need. I don't really think it needs explanation.
"sleep": {
"add": {
"component_groups": [
"sleeping"
]
}
},
"wake_up": {
"remove": {
"component_groups": [
"sleeping"
]
}
},
"woken_up": {
"remove": {
"component_groups": [
"sleeping"
]
},
"add": {
"component_groups": [
"sleep_timer"
]
}
},
"sleep_again": {
"add": {
"component_groups": [
"sleeping"
]
},
"remove": {
"component_groups": [
"sleep_timer"
]
}
}

Resource Pack
Don't forget that you need to add sleeping animation and controller for it to your entity!
Animation
Just copy/paste it.
{
"format_version": "1.8.0",
"animations": {
"animation.sleeping_entity.sleep": {
"loop": "hold_on_last_frame",
"animation_length": 0.5,
"bones": {
"body": {
"rotation": {
"0.0": [0, 0, 0],
"0.5": [-90, 0, 0]
},
"position": [0, 2, -15]
}
}
}
}
}

Animation Controller
Again just copy/paste it if you need.
{
"format_version": "1.10.0",
"animation_controllers": {
"controller.animation.sleeping_entity.sleep": {
"initial_state": "default",
"states": {
"default": {
"transitions": [
{
"sleep": "q.is_sleeping"
}
]
},
"sleep": {
"animations": ["sleeping"],
"transitions": [
{
"default": "!q.is_sleeping"
}
]
}
}
}
}
}

Note that you will need to define animation in client entity like this:
"sleeping": "animation.sleeping_entity.sleep"
Result
Taking naps
This behavior is inspired from foxes.
Features
- Entity sleeps when feels safe, far from mobs or when the weather is not a thunderstorm.
- Approaching the entity will make it wake up unless it's a trusted or sneaking player, or it's another entity with the family group
sleeping_entity. - If entity is hurt, it wakes up.
Behavior Pack
In this section behavior pack components will be discussed.
Components
For this behavior you will need only one component:
"minecraft:behavior.nap": {
"priority": 8,
"cooldown_min": 2.0,
"cooldown_max": 7.0,
"mob_detect_dist": 12.0,
"mob_detect_height": 6.0,
"can_nap_filters": {
"all_of": [
{
"test": "in_water",
"subject": "self",
"operator": "==",
"value": false
},
{
"test": "on_ground",
"subject": "self",
"operator": "==",
"value": true
},
{
"test": "is_underground",
"subject": "self",
"operator": "==",
"value": true
},
{
"test": "weather_at_position",
"subject": "self",
"operator": "!=",
"value": "thunderstorm"
}
]
},
"wake_mob_exceptions": {
"any_of": [
{
"test": "trusts",
"subject": "other",
"operator": "==",
"value": true
},
{
"test": "is_family",
"subject": "other",
"operator": "==",
"value": "sleeping_entity"
},
{
"test": "is_sneaking",
"subject": "other",
"operator": "==",
"value": true
}
]
}
}

If you want to also use the trusting mechanic, add:
"minecraft:trust": {}
Resource Pack
In our resource pack you can run an animation when entity starts to sleep.
{
"format_version": "1.10.0",
"animation_controllers": {
"controller.animation.sleeping_entity.sleep": {
"initial_state": "default",
"states": {
"default": {
"transitions": [
{
"sleep": "q.is_sleeping"
}
]
},
"sleep": {
"animations": ["sleeping"],
"transitions": [
{
"default": "!q.is_sleeping"
}
]
}
}
}
}
}

The last thing, you will have to create and register a sleeping animation for you entity. If you don't know how to do it check out the BlockBench page.
