Description

Cyan Bed is the turquoise variant of the Minecraft bed, added to Java Edition in 1.12 and to Bedrock Edition in 1.1.0. No tool speeds up breaking a cyan bed, and the destroyed bed drops itself as an item. Crafting needs three cyan wool across the top row of the crafting grid and any three planks across the bottom row — the wool must share one color, while the planks can mix different wood types. One cyan bed also comes from combining any bed with cyan dye on the crafting grid, and shepherd villagers sell beds of any color. Desert village houses generate cyan, green, or lime beds naturally, so a desert village is the place to find a cyan bed without crafting.

Cyan Bed lets an Overworld player sleep through the night or a thunderstorm and wake at sunrise, and a single press on the bed — even during the day — sets the spawn point where the player respawns after death. Sleeping also resets the weather and keeps phantoms away: three in-game days without sleep let phantoms spawn around the player. Cyan Bed never works outside the Overworld — a sleep attempt in the Nether or the End detonates the bed with explosion power 5, stronger than TNT at power 4. Falling onto Cyan Bed bounces a player back up at 75% of the impact velocity and halves the fall distance, so a cyan bed doubles as a soft landing pad.

Guide

How to Craft and Use a Cyan Bed in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Collect three cyan wool and three planks

    Gather three cyan wool and any three planks for one cyan bed. The wool color must match across the row, and the planks can come from different wood types.

  2. 2

    Craft the cyan bed

    Place the three cyan wool across the top row of a crafting grid and the three planks across the bottom row; the crafting output is one cyan bed.

  3. 3

    Place the bed on two floor blocks

    Set the cyan bed on a free floor spot, because one bed occupies two blocks of space — a head block and a foot block.

  4. 4

    Sleep at night or during a thunderstorm

    Press the use button on the cyan bed after night falls or during a thunderstorm; the sleep skips the rest of the night and wakes the player at sunrise.

  5. 5

    Set the spawn point

    Press the use button on the cyan bed during the daytime to set the spawn point without sleeping; the chat shows "Respawn point set" after the change.

Never sleep in the Nether or the End

A sleep attempt on the cyan bed outside the Overworld detonates the bed with explosion power 5 and sets fire to nearby blocks.

Frequently asked questions

How do you craft a cyan bed in Minecraft?

Put three cyan wool in the top crafting row and any three planks in the bottom row. The wool color must match, and the planks can mix different wood types.

Where can you find a cyan bed without crafting?

Desert village houses generate cyan, green, or lime beds. Shepherd villagers also sell beds.

Can you turn another bed into a cyan bed?

Yes. Combine any bed with cyan dye on the crafting grid, and the output is a cyan bed.

Why does a cyan bed explode in the Nether?

Sleeping works only in the Overworld, so a sleep attempt in the Nether or the End detonates the bed with explosion power 5 and sets fire to nearby blocks.

How long can you go without sleep before phantoms appear?

Three in-game days without entering a bed let phantoms spawn around the player. Sleeping in the cyan bed keeps phantoms away.

Can monsters stop you from sleeping in a cyan bed?

Yes. A monster within 8 blocks of the bed head horizontally and 5 blocks vertically blocks every sleep attempt with the message "You may not rest now; there are monsters nearby".
