Phantom Sleepers

Phantom Sleepers: A More Immersive Sleep Experience for Rust

Phantom Sleepers significantly alters the standard Rust sleep mechanic, adding layers of depth and strategic considerations for players. Instead of a simple, predictable sleep animation, this plugin introduces an element of suspense and risk. Players entering a sleeping bag are not immediately safe; they enter a period of vulnerability where they can be attacked and killed while still appearing asleep to other players. This creates a dynamic where players must carefully consider the risks associated with sleeping in high-traffic areas or during vulnerable times. It also adds a new layer of strategic gameplay, forcing players to be more cautious and aware of their surroundings, adding tension and excitement to the core gameplay loop. The plugin aims to create a more realistic and engaging experience, punishing reckless behavior and rewarding careful planning.

Beyond the core mechanic, the plugin often offers configuration options to customize the sleep duration, the vulnerability window, and potentially other aspects of the sleeping experience. This allows server admins to fine-tune the plugin to perfectly suit their server's specific needs and preferred gameplay style. The overall effect is a more immersive and challenging sleep system that enhances server gameplay and reduces the potential for easy griefing.
