Minecraft Bed Mechanics

• To sleep in a bed, the player must be within close proximity to the bed and look at it.
• Sleeping in a bed will cause the player to sleep for 101 in-game ticks.
• A player can't sleep if they're on fire, poisoned, or starving.
• If all requirements are met, phantoms can spawn.
• When a player falls asleep, the time of day changes to sunrise and the weather cycle is reset.
• In Bedrock Edition, the sleeping animation lowers the player into bed.
• Sleeping does not accelerate processes that take place over time.
• If /gamerule doDaylightCycle is false, the player instead wakes up in the night.
• To skip the night in multiplayer, all players in the Overworld must be in bed at the same time.
• Villagers are unable to skip the night by sleeping in beds, unlike players.
• If the bed is destroyed while the player is in it, due to for example an explosion or by another player, the player wakes prematurely and the night does not pass.
• Setting the spawn point is done when the player respawns.
• When choosing where to respawn the player, the northwesternmost (lowest X- and Z-coordinates) location of the seven blocks adjacent to the head of the bed is chosen first. If this location is obstructed, the next choice is to its south (+Z), rather than the east (+X).
• Beds require two blocks of floor space.
• Beds require solid blocks below them when placed.
• Beds can be placed anywhere, provided there is enough room.
• Beds have a block entity that holds additional data about the block.
• Beds have a chance to speed up the process of curing zombies.
