How to make a Magenta Bed in Minecraft: Step by Step Guide

Did you know that the default White Bed in Minecraft can be colored differently? In total, there are 16 colors of beds to choose from. You can use colored Beds for aesthetic purposes, thematic reasons, or even just to tell your room apart from a friend’s. It is easy to color a bed from the default white.


For each color of bed, there is an appropriate dye and to craft a Magenta Bed, the player will need at least one Magenta Dye. Magenta may be one of the harder dyes to find as the flower is rare and it only shows up in two biomes. However, this bold color is worth seeking out.


Required Materials to craft a Magenta Bed


To craft a Magenta Bed in Minecraft, you will need the following:


  1. Any Wooden Planks (x3)
  2. Wool (x3, Magenta)


You will need to craft Magenta Dye in order to make a Magenta Bed.

How to use a Magenta Bed in Minecraft?


At night or during thunderstorms in the Overworld, the player can now sleep in Bed. Sleeping takes 5 seconds to complete and skips until the next morning. It also changes your spawn point from the world spawn to the location of the bed. However, sleeping can be interrupted if you sleep in an unsafe position. Please ensure you are in a private area before sleeping or else you may be rudely awakened by enemy mobs. In fact, if you manage to last 3 days without sleeping, you will be haunted by specters until you finally rest. Sleeping is useful because it lets you skip the time where mobs spawn and thus allows you to continue exploring safely.



Simply press the Use key to sleep through the night.

FAQs


Q. Is there any other way that I can change the color of my bed?


There are two alternate ways that a player can change the color of their bed in Minecraft. One way is to craft a White Bed and then dye it, and the other option is to directly dye wool. However, the method used in our guide is the most efficient.


Q. Can I place beds on Slabs to get higher ceilings?


Creative solution but unfortunately it won’t not function as you’d expect. Instead of sitting on top of the slab, it simply floats above it, which looks strange and unsatisfying.


Conclusion


Coloring your Bed gives no gameplay benefits but can certainly make a player more attached to their base. Typically in multiplayer games, players like to customize their homes and rooms to distinguish their belongings from their co-op partners. One great way to add color to your room and set it apart from others is by dyeing your bed. No longer will you need to argue about whose bed is whose!
