Beds



Beds are furniture items which allow the player to set a new spawn point or to allow time to pass 5 times faster by sleeping. Beds fulfill the chair requirement for the purposes of housing. Beds have two separate sections which can be interacted with via. Interacting with the head of a bed causes the player to enter the bed and sleep. Interacting with the foot half of a bed, when it is placed in a valid House, changes the player's spawn point.

Like most other furniture, the direction a bed is placed in depends on the direction the player is facing when placing it.

There are currently 40 craftable beds and 5 that can be acquired from the environment. All beds are functionally identical, and differ only in appearance.

Sleeping
Pressing on the head of a bed causes the player to enter the bed and "sleep," which accelerates time by five times its normal rate (1 hour of in-game time, which would usually take 1 minute of real-life time, takes only 12 seconds while sleeping). This affects game time, including watches, the sun and moon, and background animations (but not NPC movement or other animations).


 * Players may not sleep during invasion events, including Blood Moons and Lunar Events.
 * While sleeping, a player can hold items like a Torch or Umbrella, but using items will cause the player to wake up.
 * The player will also wake up if attacked.
 * Time acceleration in multiplayer requires that all players be asleep.
 * Sleeping does not affect potion cooldowns or durations.

Setting player spawn point
Pressing on the foot of a bed in a valid room causes the player's spawn point to be changed.

If the player's current spawn location is not the bed's location it will be set as the player's custom spawn point, and the game will show the message If the player's current spawn location is the bed's location then the game will show the message and the player's spawn point will be set to the default spawn point for that world.

For a bed to function properly as a spawn point it must be in a valid room though other than the bed itself no other furniture or lighting is required. A bed may be placed in a non-rectangular room as long as the leftmost 3 blocks immediately above it are left clear. For instance, there may be a bed (4×2) surrounded by walls on the left, right and bottom sides, and above the foot of the bed. So long as there is space for the player to spawn at the bed the bed can be set as a spawn point. Such as this image.

The top left 3 tiles just above the bed are clear. The mirror image of this is also valid.

Tips

 * It is advisable to place and activate a bed in the same house the Nurse is living in, so immediate healing is available after recalling or respawning. Be careful not to reset the spawn point by accidentally hitting the bed upon pressing the Nurse's "heal" button, in case she is standing in front of the bed.
 * There are many naturally-generated structures which can serve as suitable locations for a bed, such as Underground Cabins or the houses on Floating Islands. Some might require minor modifications, e.g. to fill background wall holes.

Trivia

 * The Pink Dungeon Bed was previously called Red Dungeon Bed. It still is on the.
