10 Interesting Facts/Ideas involving Beds

Simply build a ceiling out of solid blocks one block below where you would like your actual ceiling, then cover it with beds. Lastly, break the first ceiling and marvel in the notability. Try experimenting with different patterns and orientations of the beds!

A cool way to achieve this effect with your lighting, and still actually light up your room!

Remember: If you’re using a transparent lighting block, like Glowstone here place the bed on solid blocks first, then you can safely replace the blocks under the bed with anything you want! LITERALLY (and trust me, i’m not a suburban white girl, i mean literally) ANYTHING. Torches? Yeabsolutely. Glowstone? totes m’gotes! Beacons? HAIL YIH GURL!! Lava? sure; just make sure you don’t use burnable stuff!

classic. Just to demonstrate that signs can go on a lot of things! If you’re on a popular server with one big slumberrific bedroom, to maximize space you could build a bunch of little stacks or one big one, then use the signs to label them for your friends or life savings’ worth of alt accounts! just use the same technique as for the ceiling to create each floating bed, but make sure to start from the top, or you’ll have to destroy the whole stack in order to just place one bed!

Also, just a demonstration that Item Frames can go ANYWHERE. AN Y WHERE. You can place ANY number of them on ANY face of [99.9% of] ALL the blocks in the game, and INSIDE any block that an entity can be inside (levers, pressure plates, signs, panes, SO many more) and look at my ascii!

oppa CSI style! make sure BOTH blocks that will be under the bed are there, before placing the bed. Then feel free to break either one!

Yet another ‘shelving’ type arrangement. I think the two textures blend nicely! Same technique as before, just make sure there’s a block where you’re going to put the Trapdoors

Yes, you can sleep in the beds from below them. Just make sure you have at least 1.5 blocks above the bed (not including the space within the bed blocks) so you don’t die when you wake up. This makes an okay elevator too, except it can only take you upwards. However, it might make a cool minigame to have a bed ceiling, where you have to pick a bed at random and only some of the beds have enough space above them to breathe. These textures blend quite nicely, too.

If you’ve got a slab floor (which I HIGHLY recommend by the way, makes furniture much cooler and interesting while costing less resources) just place a bed there. Are we having fun yet? I sure am.

As you can see, the bed is exactly 1 pixel taller than the slabs, making it the same height as a carpet; however, you can place carpets on slabs, but that obviously won’t look like this, so forget I said anything except that this looks cool.

Same bat-effect, same bat-channel. Just a way to do this if you don’t want to give up your precious full-block floor. That’s it; hope you learned something, or 50 times your money back!
