When you're out on the road and it begins to get dark, what do you do? Lie down underneath a tree? Try to find an abandoned structure? Hole yourself up in a cave like some hairless, gray creature who talks to himself? No! You pitch a tent! The rangers and orcs do it, so why shouldn't you?

(Please note, I'm not sure how much of what I suggest is possible, but I did base it around preexisting mod features).

First, the tent. To build your tent, you will need wool; lots of it. If you fill up the crafting table with 9 pieces of the same coloured wool, you will get a piece of canvas, of that colour. Repeat till you have 5 pieces of the same coloured canvas, and put them into the crafting table again with fence posts like so:

Empty     Canvas     Empty

Canvas     Fence     Canvas

Canvas     Fence     Canvas

This will give you a Tent Bundle. To pitch your tent, find a level section of ground, and click on it with the bundle. After 10 seconds of not moving, your tent will spawn, like using a structure block. The 10 second wait time is to ensure that you can't just pitch your tent to hide from an enemy, and adds a bit of realism.

The tent will look like the spawned orc and ranger tents, in the colour wool that you made it out of. The exception being, it will spawn with a solid back end of wool, and the front will have a "door" of wool. This will operate like a gate block, but will look and sound like wool.

Now you may be asking, "well what's keeping me from using this to harvest wool and fence posts, since it gives me 11 and 4 extra of each respectively?" Well, if you break any part of your tent, after 5 seconds it will delete itself and return to the tent bundle item. So... don't? No reason to.

As for the sleeping bag, it will basically serve as the travel bed. It would be crafted just like a regular bed, except the wood would be replaced with leather. When you sleep in it, the place that the sleeping bag was placed will be saved, so that even though you will have removed the bag from that spot, you will spawn there when you die.
