Bed

Beds are objects that are used to sleep during night. When you sleep in a bed, the time automatically changes to day. You cannot sleep when there are Hostile Mobs near your bed. A bed is also used to mark a new spawn point, other than the original spawn point. When playing multiplayer (from v0.6.1) all the players have to be in bed to skip the night (separate beds, not the same).

Crafting
3 Wool and 3 Wooden Planks are required to craft a Bed. The color of the wool used does not change the color of the bed.



Trivia

 * In Minecraft desktop edition on multiplayer, sometimes one person can sleep while the others are awake, and the time will just skip automatically, whether you're asleep or awake.
 * Placing the bed in a 2x1 space underground and attempting to sleep during daytime will result in suffocation damage (from attempting to leave the bed in a confined space.) Exiting the bed will result in spawning on the surface of the block.
