What's the easiest way to make a green bed?

If you already have a white bed, just combine it with green dye in a crafting table. That's the fastest method. Otherwise, gather green wool and any wood planks.

Do I need a specific type of wood for the green bed?

No. Any wood planks work - oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, mangrove, bamboo, crimson, or warped. Mix and match if you want.

Can I dye a bed from a different color to green?

Yes, but only from white. The white bed + dye method is the only way to change bed colors.

What Minecraft versions have the green bed?

Green beds were added in the Aquatic Update. They're in Java Edition 1.12 and all later versions, plus Bedrock Edition.

What's the ID for commands?

Use minecraft:green_bed in versions 1.13+. For 1.12 only, use bed with data value 13.

What is a Green Bed?

A green bed is one of the dyed bed colors added to Minecraft. It works just like any other bed – sleep in it at night to skip darkness and avoid mobs, or set your spawn point. You can craft green beds in different ways depending on what materials you have on hand.

Finding a Green Bed in Creative Mode

If you just want the bed without crafting, you can grab it from Creative Mode:

Java Edition 1.12 to 1.19: Look in the Decoration Blocks tab
Java Edition 1.19.3+: Find it in Colored Blocks or Functional Blocks

Give command: /give @p bed 1 13

Using Your Green Bed

Right-click or interact with the bed to sleep. You’ll set your spawn point to that location and skip to morning. Beds work at night but explode in the Nether and End if you try to sleep there.
