What is Light Gray Bed in Minecraft?
A light gray bed is a piece of furniture with a soft, light gray colored blanket that serves a very important function in Minecraft. Its main purpose is to allow the player to sleep through the night and to set their respawn point. When you sleep in a bed, time fast forwards to the next morning, letting you skip the dangerous nighttime when monsters are out. Just as importantly, the last bed you slept in becomes your new home base. If you die, you will respawn right next to that bed instead of at the original world spawn point. The light gray bed does this just like any other color of bed, but its simple, modern color makes it a popular decorative choice for bedrooms.
How to get Light Gray Bed in Minecraft
The only way to get a light gray bed is by crafting it. It does not generate naturally in the world. There are two different crafting recipes you can use. The first way is to craft it directly. To do this, you will need three light gray wool blocks and three wooden planks of any type. To get light gray wool, you can find and shear a light gray sheep, or you can dye white wool using light gray dye. You can make light gray dye from several flowers like the oxeye daisy. Once you have the materials, go to a crafting table. Place the three wooden planks in a horizontal row along the bottom, and place the three light gray wool blocks in a horizontal row right above them. This will create one light gray bed. The second way is to take an existing bed of any other color and dye it. Simply place the bed and one piece of light gray dye in a crafting grid, and it will turn into a light gray bed.
How to use Light Gray Bed in Minecraft
The main use for a light gray bed is to sleep and set your spawn point. To use it, you just need to place it down. A bed takes up two blocks of space, so make sure you have enough room. You can only sleep in a bed at nighttime or during a thunderstorm. Just right click on the bed to lie down. The screen will fade to black and you will wake up in the morning. This also sets your respawn point. Be very careful: you cannot use a bed in the Nether or the End. If you try to right click a bed in those dimensions, it will explode violently, which will almost certainly kill you and destroy the surrounding blocks. Besides its main function, a light gray bed is a great decorative block for a modern bedroom. You can also bounce on beds.
