Do you need wool to make a bed in Minecraft?

Everyone needs to sleep — even NPCs and avatars in Minecraft. However, you can’t simply create a wooden shack and sleep on the floor. That’s bad for your virtual back, for starters. Instead, we show you how to make a bed in Minecraft so you can quickly pass the time while the skeletons roam outside your door. Contents

Beds aren’t just for fast-forwarding the clock, however. They serve as spawn points too, overriding your realm’s default spawning location. You’ll appear within a few blocks of your bed unless something blocks the spawn point, forcing you to reemerge in the world’s default location — which could be miles away.

Wood – Find yourself a tree and chop it down. Your lumberjack skills will result in small blocks of wood (Survival Mode) scattered across the terrain that you need to gather. You can use tools and weapons — even your fists — to chop down trees, but not swords.

Wool – You’ll need shears to gather wool from live sheep, or kill them and gather wool from their remains. You could build an automatic wool farm, but that’s an entirely different guide. As shown above, we already applied dye to two sheep before shaving them bald. Naked sheep!

This method is based on white wool. If you want a colorful bed, move on to the next section in this guide.

Step 1: Open your Crafting Table and drag one wood block from your inventory to any of the nine squares in the crafting grid.

Step 2: Drag the resulting four wood plank blocks into your inventory. You’ll need three wood plank blocks to create a bed.

Step 3: Place one wood plank block each into the bottom three squares in the crafting grid, as shown below.

Step 4: Place one wool block each of the same color into the middle three squares in the crafting grid.

What You Need to Craft a Bed

You will need two kinds of blocks to make a Bed in Minecraft: Wood Planks and Wool. You’ll need three of each block.

The Wool blocks need to be the same color to craft a Bed. For example, White Wool and Gray Wool can’t be used together to craft a Bed. However, the Wood Planks don’t need to be the same type. In another example, you can use Oak Planks and Dark Oak Planks together to easily craft a Bed. There are sixteen types of Beds that can be made, however, the only difference between all of them is their colors.
