Overview
Purple Bed is a block in the Utility Blocks category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it. It cannot be stacked, so each Purple Bed occupies a full inventory slot on its own.
Purple Bed owes its colour to purple dye. It has no plant of its own: mixing one blue dye with one red dye makes two. Purple Bed has a hardness of 0.2. That number is also what Purple Bed is worth against a blast.
