Minecraft Bed Mechanics

Study Notes

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).
