Talk:Bed

Inconsistent description
"beds cannot be placed on non-solid blocks"

Solid_blocks include transparent blocks.

But list of things affected by opacity says you can't place beds on transparent blocks (4th dot)

 * I don't have the answer, but Opacity is next on my cleanup list. I think it doesn't get as consistently updated as the block or item or mob pages, so given the choice, naively, I would trust the Bed page more.  But like I said, I don't actually know. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 19:08, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Fall Damage
In 11.1.2 I've just jumped onto a bed and took the same amount of fall damage that a non-bed fall would have dealt. 123.243.55.19 05:15, 13 May 2017 (UTC)


 * That feature is for 1.12, which hasn't been released yet.--SamGamgee55 (talk) 17:41, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

Console Edition
It would be greatly appreciated if someone with the Console Edition could check if beds can be redyed (as per the Pocket Edition), whether they are found in different colours in igloos and whether they have the Pocket Edition or Java Edition sprites. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs 03:20, 28 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Beds can be redyed, they are only found in one color (red) at igloos, and they have the Pocket Edition sprites. -BDJP (t 17:33, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Sleeping Animation Length
How many ticks long is the falling-asleep animation? --MCweb 19:58, 1 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Not sure, but it feels about 5 seconds long. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 03:47, 9 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Just checked MCP for 1.12. it's five seconds, 100 ticks. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 03:54, 9 July 2017 (UTC)


 * I also did a test; 5 seconds. – Nixinova Grid_Book_and_Quill.png Grid_Diamond_Pickaxe.png Grid_Map.png 03:55, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

"Bed is in no way tied to the spawn point..." -- What?
This is not the behavior I am familiar with -- as of most versions I've played on, breaking the bed would revert the player's spawning to default even if it was later replaced in the same spot. Is this an actual change in recent versions, and if so when did it change? --MentalMouse42 (talk) 20:41, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
 * The bed is not tied to the world spawn point, but it does temporarily change your spawnpoint – Nixinova Grid_Book_and_Quill.png Grid_Diamond_Pickaxe.png Grid_Map.png 21:01, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, but this page currently says explicitly that the game only checks for the presence of the bed at the player spawn point, at the time of death. I am fairly certain that's not how it used to work -- indeed, ISTR it used to be a PvP trick to break someone's bed and replace it, so their spawn point would be lost without their knowledge.  --MentalMouse42 (talk) 21:48, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I just did a quick test in creative mode, and the page text is in fact correct as of 1.11.2. Which still leaves the question of when it changed.   --MentalMouse42 (talk) 22:02, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
 * ETA: And... back to 1.6.4, which is way earlier than I would have expected.  I think I started playing back around 1.2.1, but I was using a different launcher then.  I'll try further back after dinner.  --MentalMouse42 (talk) 22:21, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
