How to Craft Blue Bed in Minecraft

Blue Bed in Minecraft, drawn from the game's own block model. Setting spawn point. Minecraft has used the name Blue Bed since 1.12.

With a Crafting Table placed, 3 Blue Wool and 3 Planks are what a Blue Bed needs. Place them as three Blue Wool filling the top row and three Planks filling the bottom row. Done once, that is 1 Blue Bed. You cannot stack Blue Beds: one per slot, however many you carry.

Blue Bed Item ID and Give Command

The item ID for Blue Bed is minecraft:blue_bed. In commands the namespace may be left off, so blue_bed works too. Checked against Minecraft Java 26.2.

Give yourself one
/give @p blue_bed
Give several at once
/give @p blue_bed 5
Give it to a named player
/give Steve blue_bed 1

Cheats have to be on for Blue Bed to appear this way, and the same command works on Bedrock Edition, where the name is written the same.
