Lime Bed at a glance

Minecraft files Lime Bed under Utility Blocks: a block you get from crafting. No stacking for Lime Bed: a slot goes the moment a second one comes in, and a chest row of nine holds nine.

Lime Bed owes its colour to lime dye. Smelting a sea pickle gives one. Mixing one green dye with one white dye makes two. The game rates Lime Bed at 0.2 hardness. It takes the same 0.2 from an explosion. It sits between Lime Banner and Lime Carpet in Utility Blocks, number 189 of 340 there.

Building with it

A Lime Bed needs three lime wool, and lime dye comes from a smelted sea pickle or a green and white mix, so it costs a trip to a reef or two other dyes. It sleeps and sets spawn like any bed; the colour is loud enough that most builders use it in a child's room or a themed base rather than a main bedroom.
