What is Red Bed in Minecraft?
A red bed is a piece of furniture with a classic, bright red colored blanket that serves a very important function in Minecraft. It is the original and most iconic bed in the game. 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 red bed is a staple of any Minecraft house.
How to get Red Bed in Minecraft
There are two main ways to get a red bed. The first way is to find one. Red beds generate naturally in villages, igloos, and woodland mansions. You can simply break the bed with your hand or any tool to collect it. The second, and more common way, is to craft it. To do this, you will need three red wool blocks and three wooden planks of any type. To get red wool, you can find and shear a red sheep, or you can dye white wool using red dye. You can make red dye from a poppy or other red flowers. 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 red wool blocks in a horizontal row right above them. This will create one red bed. You can also dye any other color of bed with red dye to get a red bed.
How to use Red Bed in Minecraft
The main use for a red 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 red bed is a great decorative block for a bedroom. You can also bounce on beds.
