How to Craft Lime Bed in Minecraft

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

Feed a Crafting Table 3 Lime Wool and 3 Planks and a Lime Bed comes back. Its pattern is three Lime Wool filling the top row and three Planks filling the bottom row. Each attempt hands back 1 Lime Bed. Lime Beds do not stack, so each one takes an inventory slot of its own.

Lime Bed Item ID and Give Command

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

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

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

Overview

Lime Beds set your respawn point and skip the night when slept in. They explode if used in the Nether or End. Lime Bed uses a shaped recipe: the ingredients only work in the pattern shown.

Minecraft has used the name Lime Bed since 1.12, the oldest release whose language file lists it.

The materials come together from a few sources: you will be working with lime wool (dye wool or shear lime sheep) and planks (craft from logs).

What A Stack Yields

Empty a stack of 64 lime wool into this and 21 lime beds come back. The recipe wants 63 planks beside it. Left over: just 1 lime wool.
