Magenta Bed at a glance

Crafting gives you Magenta Bed, a block filed under Utility Blocks. Each Magenta Bed sits alone in a slot, which makes a spare one expensive to carry, and nine hotbar slots hold nine.

Magenta Bed owes its colour to magenta dye. An allium gives one, and a lilac gives two. Mixing one purple dye with one pink dye makes two. Two other mixes land on the same magenta. On the hardness scale Magenta Bed sits at 0.2. It carries the same 0.2 into an explosion. It sits between Magenta Banner and Magenta Carpet in Utility Blocks, number 197 of 340 there.

Building with it

A Magenta Bed costs three magenta wool, and magenta is one of the more expensive dyes: an allium for one, a lilac for two, or a purple and pink mix. Sleeping in it works the same as any bed, and the colour shows up best against dark wood, where the pink side of magenta does not wash out.
