How to make a Red Bed in Minecraft
This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a red bed with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft, a bed is one of the most important items in the game. You can sleep in a bed at night to avoid mobs spawning and attacking you. Also once you've slept in a bed, it resets your spawn point. There is more than one way to craft a red bed.
Let's explore how to make a red bed.

Required Materials to make a Red Bed
In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft a red bed:
TIP: You can use any type of wood plank! You don't have to gather them all.
How to craft a Red Bed in Survival Mode
1. Open the Crafting Menu
First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3x3 crafting grid that looks like this:
2. Add Items to make a Red Bed
In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a red 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 red bed:
Pattern 1
There should be 3 red 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 red dye in the second box.
TIP: When crafting a red 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 red bed will appear in the box to the right.
3. Move the Red Bed to Inventory
Once you have crafted a red bed, you need to move the new item to your inventory.
Congratulations, you have made a red bed in Minecraft!
