Pink Bed at a glance

Minecraft files Pink Bed under Utility Blocks: a block you get from crafting. It claims a slot each, so nine hotbar slots hold nine and a double chest of 54 slots takes 54.

Pink Bed owes its colour to pink dye. A cactus flower, pink petals or a pink tulip each give one, and a peony gives two. Mixing one red dye with one white dye makes two. Pink Bed is a 0.2-hardness block. For Pink Bed the blast resistance is not separate: it is 0.2 as well. It sits between Pink Banner and Pink Carpet in Utility Blocks, number 237 of 340 there.

Building with it

A Pink Bed takes three pink wool, and pink is one of the easier dyes to gather: pink petals, a pink tulip or a cactus flower each give one, and a peony gives two. It works like every bed, skipping the night and moving your spawn, and it is the softest colour in a bedroom lit by lanterns.

In practice

Pink wool comes from a pink tulip or from red and white mixed, and the bed itself takes three of it plus three planks. Pink beds are the standard choice in cherry grove builds, where the timber and the wool end up almost the same shade.
