Bed

From Box of Rocks WIKI
Jump to navigation Jump to search

A bed is a block that allows a player to sleep and to reset their spawn point to within a few blocks of the bed in the Overworld. If the bed is obstructed, the player spawns at the default world spawning location.

Obtaining

Natural generation

A red bed naturally generates in each igloo.

Beds of various colors generate in village houses, depending on the specific structure and biome:

  • Desert village houses have cyan, green, or lime beds.
  • Plains village houses have white or yellow beds.
  • Savanna village houses have orange, red, or yellow beds.
  • Snowy taiga[BE only] and taiga village houses have blue or purple beds.
  • Snowy tundra village houses have blue, red, or white beds.

Breaking

Beds can be mined with any tool, or without a tool.

Block Bed
Hardness 0.2
Breaking time
Default 0.3

A bed also drops itself as an item when pushed by a piston.

Usage

Sleeping

File:Sleep Animation.gif
The animation when falling asleep.

Beds are used by pressing the use item button while looking at the bed.

A player sleeps by using a bed during a thunderstorm[Java Edition only], or at night (between 12544 and 23461 ticks in clear weather, when stars appear in the sky). Attempting to use a bed at any other time results in the message "You can sleep only at night and during thunderstorms"‌[JE only] or "You can only sleep at night".‌[BE only] A player sleeps in a bed for 101 in-game ticks, or 5.05 seconds before the time skips to the next day. Sleeping in a bed with the /gamerule doDaylightCycle set to false results in the player being kicked out of the bed after the 101 ticks, but does not change time of the world to day.

Sleeping in a bed is possible only in the Overworld. Attempting to sleep in a bed in the Nether, the End, and custom dimensions in which they are disabled causes it to explode and set fire to surrounding blocks;[1] The explosion has power 5, which is stronger than TNT (4), but not as strong as a charged creeper or end crystal (6). The explosion centers on the head part of the bed.[verify] Villagers can sleep normally in any dimension.[2] Upon death from a bed explosion, the message "(Player) was killed by [Intentional Game Design]" appears.

The player must be close to the bed to sleep. If the player is close enough to click on the bed, but not close enough to sleep in it, the message "You may not rest now, the bed is too far away"‌[JE only]/"The bed is too far away"‌[BE only] appears.

If a "monster" is within 8 blocks of the bed horizontally (in the X- and Z-axis), and 5 blocks vertically (in the Y-axis), the message "You may not rest now, there are monsters nearby" appears and the player is prevented from sleeping until the monsters leave or are killed. Most hostile mobs, as well as some neutral mobs prevent players from sleeping, as shown in the table below.

If the player has not entered a bed or didn't die for 3 in-game days, phantoms can spawn unless /gamerule doInsomnia is set to false. This can be verified by checking if the "Time Since Last Rest" statistic is greater than 1.00 h. ‌[Java Edition only]

The player also cannot sleep in a bed occupied by another player, resulting in the message, "This bed is occupied".

A player can, however, sleep in a bed being used by a villager. The player may first wake the villager (pressing use on the villager) and then quickly enter the bed before the villager can lie down again. The villager reclaims the bed after the player wakes. The villager is kicked out of its bed when a player attempts to sleep there.

A player also cannot sleep while on fire, while poisoned, or while starving.

If all sleeping requirements are met and the player enters a bed, the player is positioned in the bed. The player falls asleep as the screen fades to black. In Bedrock Edition, the sleeping animation slowly lowers the player into bed.

Once all players in a world are asleep, after 5 seconds (100 ticks) the time of day changes to sunrise. (time 0)

During this time, the chat window is focused, and the player can leave the bed by clicking the Leave Bed button.

Waterlogged beds‌[Bedrock Edition only] cannot be slept in unless the player or villager has the Template:EffectLink or Template:EffectLink status effects. Attempting to use a waterlogged bed otherwise does not display any message.[3]

Beds displaying an error above the hotbar is a feature exclusive to beds; other blocks that cannot be used do not display such a message.[4]

Passing the night

Sleeping changes the time of day to sunrise and resets the weather to clear weather. The player wakes up next to the bed, facing west.

Sleeping does not accelerate processes that take place over time such as the growth of crops or smelting. If /gamerule doDaylightCycle is false, the player instead wakes up in the night.

To skip the night in multiplayer, all players in the Overworld must be in bed at the same time. Pressing the Leave Bed button is not necessary in this case.

If the bed is destroyed while the player is in it, due to for example an explosion or by another player, the player wakes prematurely and the night does not pass.

Setting the spawn point

Once a player has entered a bed, their spawn point is set to the location of that bed. In Java Edition, multiple players can set their spawn point on a single bed. In Bedrock Edition, the last player to set their spawn point on a certain bed will be the only player who will respawn there, and players who had previously slept there will respawn at the world spawn.

Using a bed in the daytime likewise sets the spawn point, without actually entering the bed.

The message "Respawn point set" is displayed in chat when the respawn point is successfully changed.

The check for a bed is only made when the player respawns. This means that the bed can be destroyed and replaced or even reoriented, but as long as there is an bed present in the same location, the player can respawn there. If a player's bed is absent, or if the area around the bed is made unsuitable for respawning (see below), a message is displayed saying You have no home bed or respawn anchor, or it was obstructed, and the player respawns at the world spawn point.

When choosing where to respawn the player, the northwesternmost (lowest X- and Z-coordinates) location of the seven blocks adjacent to the head of the bed is chosen first. If this location is obstructed, the next choice is to its south (+Z), rather than the east (+X). Only when all seven locations around the head are obstructed are the three remaining ones adjacent to the foot then to be considered.

For a location to be unobstructed, the block at the level of the bed must be air or non-solid (e.g. torches, but not glass) and there must be a space with a solid block below it and two non-colliding blocks for the player to stand in 0-2 blocks below the bed. It does not matter if the bed itself has blocks above it. The bed never spawns the player on or directly below itself even if all other locations are obstructed. If a bed is obstructed, the player's spawn point is cleared after they respawn. That is, even if the bed is subsequently made usable again, the player continues to respawn at the world spawn until interacting with the bed again.

Specifically, when interacting with it, the location of the head of the bed is saved as the spawn point, and if a bed is in that space (whether it is the foot or the head) then the respawn works. This can be observed by reorienting the bed with its head in the same location. Interacting with it does not produce a "Respawn point set" message as the game doesn't change the saved spawn point. If a bed is reoriented so that its foot is in this space, it still functions on the next respawn, but it can also be interacted with to update the spawn point to the new head of the bed and cause a "Respawn point set" message. Attempting the reverse, reorienting the bed so that it overlaps the original location of the foot, results in a respawn at world spawn. However, the location of the foot of the bed is also saved. If the bed is moved so that part of it overlaps the original location of the head, it can be observed that the same locations need to be obstructed to stop spawning. It is possible to respawn 2 blocks away from the bed this way.

Bouncing

Falling onto a bed bounces the player with 66% strength – the bouncing-up velocity is 66% of the impact velocity. The player also takes 50% of normal fall damage.

Baby villagers bounce on beds during the day.

If the player is falling while sleeping requirements are met, and presses use on a bed within reach before hitting the ground, the fall damage is delayed until the player wakes.

Housing

Beds are used to count the number of houses in a village, with one bed equating to one house.

Curing

Each bed in the vicinity of a zombie villager has a chance to speed up the process of curing the zombie villager. Iron bars (such as in a prison cell) also have this effect.

Placement

Beds require two blocks of floor space. Placement requires at least 2 blocks from the player's facing direction. When placed, the foot of the bed is placed on the block selected and the head of the bed on the block farther away from the player. In Bedrock Edition, beds require solid blocks below them when placed. However, the bed remains in place if its supporting blocks are later removed. In Java Edition, beds do not require supporting blocks and can be placed anywhere, provided there is enough room.

Bed "item"

This section is missing information about Bedrock Edition history (addition, changes made). 
Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.
Java Edition Beta
1.332px Beds have an extra, unobtainable item form corresponding to its block ID, which uses the bottom half texture of the bed. It can be obtained via inventory editors with numeric item ID 26.
This item is titled "Bed" in the inventory.
1.6Test Build 3Bed items can be obtained from the newly added debug chests, mainly from the 26th slot of the 1st chest from the left, and the 10th slot of the 5th chest from the left.
releaseDebug chests no longer spawn, preventing bed items from being obtained this way.
1.8Pre-release 2 ;)Added pick block functionality. This will change the currently selected slot to any containing this otherwise-unobtainable bed item, but will not allow it to be obtained if not already in the hotbar.
Java Edition
1.2.5prePick Block now returns the actually obtainable bed item.
1.3.112w16aBed items can now be obtained in singleplayer worlds via the /give command using the respective numeric ID.
1.7.213w37aThe direct item form of the bed block has been removed from the game. It can no longer exist as an item in any way, only as a placed block.

Trivia

  • The reason beds explode in the Nether and the End is because Notch found it was the easiest solution to dimension-unique respawning.[8]
  • If the player quits the game while sleeping, upon return the player wakes up beside the bed.
  • Using the /teleport command while another player is sleeping still teleports the sleeping player, but the player wakes immediately.‌[Java Edition only]
  • If the player places a bed on ice, running over the bed acts like running over ice, similar to slabs.
  • Before differently colored beds were added, using all 6 planks and all 16 wool combinations, there were 3,456 different ways to craft a bed.
  • When placed using the /setblock command, only one half of a bed is placed, because beds are two blocks long. A single half can be slept in like a whole bed.
  • Villagers can sleep in the Nether and the End without causing the bed to explode.[9]
  • If the player crouches while attempting to sleep the player gets inside the sheets.
  • While the block state used to determine the half of a two-block block such as doors and double-tall flowers is called half, in the case of beds this is called part.
  • Players and villagers do not drown or take damage from lava while in a bed, even if the bed is covered in lava.
  • The red bed was the original default bed color. In Java Edition 1.12 and Pocket Edition 1.1.0 version of the game, the default color was changed to white.
