How to Make a Bed in Minecraft

Crafting a bed in Minecraft doesn’t happen like magic. You’ll need to make an effort to run around and obtain some items first. 

Step 1: Collecting resources

You’ll need three wood planks and three wool blocks. It doesn’t matter what planks you obtain, as long as all three are the same. However, the color wool you collect will link to the bed’s hue. So, if you want a pink bed, you’ll need to dye a sheep before clipping the wool with some shears. You can also kill the sheep, scoring some mutton in the process.

Step 2: Head to the crafting table

Now that you have all your resources at hand, head on over to your trusty crafting table. You’ll need to place the three planks in the central row and the wool above it. If you think about it, that makes logical sense.

Step 3: Create your bed

When you hit the craft button, your bed will appear, ready and fluffed. You can carry it around with you and place it down when you’re ready to sleep. However, keep in mind that it will create a spawn location on that spot, and you can’t sleep if monsters are nearby.

Go ahead and count your sheep

As you can see, making a bed in Minecraft is easy, as long as you have sheep around. One of the most frustrating aspects we’ve encountered is running around hoping one will appear. You may be better off creating a farm, taming and breeding them for a constant supply of wool.

Have you seen your friends running with a cloth behind their backs and wondered how to get a cape in Minecraft? The chances are that they received it as a prize from the Mojang team. However, there are some mod developers who have taken it into their hands to create customized capes that you can use.

How to Get a Cape in Minecraft

Unfortunately, the only way to get a cape in Minecraft is to install a utility software program or mod. You should keep in mind that other players must run the same mod to be able to see your cape. Can you imagine how funny you must look sporting an item that no one else can witness?

Step 1: Install Optifine

You can use any Minecraft mod program, but we recommend Optifine that’s usually used to install shaders in the game. All you need to do is download the installation file and let the wizard help you with the setup. Remember to move it to your Minecraft folder.

Step 2: Download a cape mod

Next up, you’ll need to find a cape mod that you like. There are several available on the internet, such as Advanced Capes. You’ll need to extract the zip file to your mods folder.

Step 3: Run around with your cape

When you run your  Minecraft launcher, remember to switch to Optifine or the mod program you selected. As soon as you’re in the game, you can start using the new capes you downloaded.

It’s a bird, it’s a plane…

Ok, so this method of getting a cape in Minecraft isn’t ideal, but it’s the best solution available at this point in time. We’ll have to wait until the developer introduces capes in the same way it did banners not so long ago. 

Gamers were extremely excited when Minecraft received a bee update. It introduced new items, such as beehives, honeycomb, and bottled honey. Of course, you can’t just walk up to a hive and merely take the honey, as the bees are rather protective. You’ll need a more subtle touch.

How to Get Honey in Minecraft

You can either obtain honey in a glass bottle or as honeycomb. We’ll show you how to do both in these three easy steps.

Step 1: Prepare for your journey

Firstly, you’ll need to get your crafting table ready. Besides having an empty glass bottle or shears prepared, you should primarily focus on the campfire. You’ll use it to calm the bees down so that they don’t attack you when you take their precious golden liquid. 

Step 2: Find bees

Now, let’s head out to the open fields. Bees love to build hives on trees close to flowers. They use these flowers to collect pollen, forming the basis of honey-making. Once you spot a bee, you can follow it to its hive to see if there’s any honey for you to collect.

Step 3: Collect your honey

The hive will be dripping with honey once it’s full. Before you take any of it, remember to put your campfire down directly beneath it, preferably with the bees inside. With them sound asleep, you can fill your glass bottle or use your shears to collect honeycomb. If you have enough of the latter, you can make your own hive at home for taming bees in Minecraft.

The Bear Necessities

With the golden honey at hand, you can make delicious food or create a bee farm. You’ll be buzzing with excitement after breeding bees and watching them get to work on the local flowers. If you have any stories to share about your bee experience, please feel free to let us know.

Minecraft contains so many animals that you can tame, such as foxes and horses. However, nothing is as fuzzy and adorable as a cat! They’re lightweight, cute, and follow your every step meowing away. If you’re more into kitties than wildlife, you’ll have fun collecting as many breeds as you can find.

Here’s a quick guide on how to tame a cat in Minecraft.

How to Tame a Cat In Minecraft

Before you can lure and tame a cat in Minecraft, you’ll have to obtain some fishy food to gain its interest. Let’s go through these steps carefully.

Step 1: Catch some raw salmon or cod

First up, it’s time to go fishing. You can either use a rod that you’ll craft or you can simply jump in the closest lake or river. Most gamers enjoy the simple pleasure of fishing by the waterside, but there’s nothing wrong with punching the lights out of a cod or salmon.

Step 2: Find the cats

Locating cats are as easy as finding your local village. There must be at least four beds to spawn one feline. Therefore, if you want to find a maximum of ten cats, you’ll need a village with 40 beds. You’ll find plenty of different colors to choose from, so choose your bundles of joy carefully.

Step 3: Tame your kitties

Now that you have your cat in sight, you need to crawl up to it slowly with the fish in hand. When it moves towards you, carefully feed it several times and wait for hearts to appear. As soon as they do, the kitty is officially your pet.

Can you hear them purrrrrr?

You’ll hear the joy and love of this animal by the furious purring when sitting nearby you. You can also use a leash to direct the creature around or tell it to sit. We hope you have a meow-tastic time!
