3 Spruce Planks

How to craft a Purple 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:

3x3 crafting area

2. Add Items to make a Purple Bed

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a purple 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 purple bed:

Pattern 1

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

TIP: When crafting a purple 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 purple bed will appear in the box to the right.
