This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a black bed with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a black bed is a new color of bed introduced in the game. You can sleep in a black bed at night to avoid mobs spawning and attacking you. Also once you’ve slept in this type of bed, it resets your spawn point. There is more than one way to craft a black bed.

Let’s explore how to make a black bed.

Where to find a Black Bed in Creative Mode

Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

Here is where you can find an orange bed in the Creative Inventory menu:

Platform Version(s) Creative Menu Location
Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.12 – 1.19
Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.19.3 – 1.19.4
Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.19.3 – 1.19.4
  • Platform is the platform that applies.
  • Version(s) is the Minecraft version numbers where the item can be found in the menu location listed (we have tested and confirmed this version number).
  • Creative Menu Location is the location of the item in the Creative Inventory menu.

Required Materials to make a Black Bed

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft a black bed:

3 Oak Planks
3 Spruce Planks
3 Birch Planks
3 Jungle Planks
3 Acacia Planks
3 Dark Oak Planks
3 Mangrove Planks
3 Bamboo Planks
3 Crimson Planks
3 Warped Planks
3 Black Wool
1 Black Dye

TIP: You can use any type of wood plank! You don’t have to gather them all.

How to craft a Black Bed in Survival Mode

1. Open the Crafting Menu

First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3×3 crafting grid that looks like this:

2. Add Items to make a Black Bed

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make a black bed, you will need to place specific items in the grid. It is important that the items are placed in the exact pattern as our example images. Changing the pattern of boxes that are filled will change the item that is crafted.

There are 2 patterns you can use as a crafting recipe for a black bed:

Pattern 1

There should be 3 black wool in the first row and 3 wood planks in the second row.

Pattern 2

In the first row, there should be 1 white bed in the first box and 1 black dye in the second box.

TIP: When crafting a black bed with wood planks, you can use any kind of wood planks, such as oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, crimson, or warped planks. In our example, we are using oak planks.

Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the black bed will appear in the box to the right.

3. Move the Black Bed to Inventory

Once you have crafted a black bed, you need to move the new item to your inventory.

Congratulations, you have made a black bed in Minecraft!
