Description

Lime Bed is the green variant of the Minecraft bed — a dyeable utility block that skips the night for the player and moves the spawn point to a spot within a few blocks of the bed in the Overworld. One Lime Bed is crafted from 3 lime wool of a single color and 3 planks of any kind, and a bed of any color turns into a Lime Bed with lime dye. Shepherd villagers sell beds for 3 emeralds. Lime beds generate naturally in desert village houses, and in Java Edition trial chambers a bed of any color can appear. Lime Bed has hardness 0.2 and blast resistance 0.2, does not burn, and drops itself when broken; no tool speeds up the breaking.

Using a Lime Bed at night, when sky light falls to 11 or below, skips the night in 101 game ticks — 5.05 seconds; using Lime Bed during the day only sets the spawn point and shows "Respawn point set". In multiplayer, the night passes once every player in the Overworld is in bed at the same time. A monster within 8 blocks horizontally and 5 blocks vertically of the bed head blocks sleep, and a player who has not slept for 3 in-game days draws phantoms. Trying to sleep in the Nether or the End explodes the Lime Bed with power 5 — above TNT's 4. Villagers occupy beds at night and need spare beds to breed, so extra Lime Beds serve a growing village.

Guide

How to Craft and Use a Lime Bed in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Collect the materials

    Gather 3 lime wool of one color and 3 planks of any kind for each Lime Bed.

  2. 2

    Craft the bed

    On a crafting table, place the 3 lime wool in one row of the 3×3 grid and the 3 planks in the row directly below, then take the Lime Bed.

  3. 3

    Dye a bed lime

    Combine a bed of any color with lime dye in a crafting grid to turn the bed into a Lime Bed.

  4. 4

    Buy from a shepherd

    Trade 3 emeralds to a shepherd villager for a bed when wool is in short supply.

  5. 5

    Place and sleep

    Set the Lime Bed where no monster stands within 8 blocks horizontally and 5 blocks vertically of the head, then use Lime Bed at night (sky light 11 or below) to skip to morning in 5.05 seconds; a daytime use only sets the spawn point.

Dimension warning

Keep Lime Bed in the Overworld: sleeping attempts in the Nether or the End detonate the bed with power 5, stronger than TNT. Sleep at least once every 3 in-game days to keep phantoms away.

Frequently asked questions

Can you stack Lime Beds?

No. Lime Bed is not stackable — one inventory slot holds one bed.

Does Lime Bed burn?

Lime Bed is not flammable, though in Java Edition lava can still burn the bed away.

How close must a player stand to use a Lime Bed?

Within 3 blocks in Java Edition and 2 blocks in Bedrock Edition.

Which tool breaks a Lime Bed fastest?

No tool accelerates breaking a Lime Bed. Hardness is 0.2, and the bed drops itself with any tool or a bare hand.

What happens if the spawn-point Lime Bed is destroyed?

Respawning fails with a message about a missing or obstructed home bed, and the player reappears at the world spawn.
