Minecraft's Bedrock Edition preview 26.40.30 has introduced the highly anticipated Straw Bed, allowing players to sleep through the night without altering their spawn points. This feature, requested since 2011, addresses a significant pain point in survival mode.5691012
Crafted by combining 3 Hay Bales, players can create 4 Straw Beds, making it a practical solution for nighttime challenges. However, these beds are single-use, burning after one sleep, and cannot be utilized in the Nether or The End, where day-night cycles do not exist.1234
Straw Beds can also be discovered in Abandoned Camps, a new structure type introduced in a previous update. This update expands the spawn locations of these camps to include the Pale Garden and Flower Forest biomes, enhancing exploration and gameplay variety. The camps now feature procedurally generated trees, adding visual diversity to each site.78
Additionally, the update includes a new decorative item, the Cushion, available in 16 colors, although it does not impact gameplay significantly. Mojang has noted that Cushions are currently missing from Abandoned Camp loot, with plans to rectify this in future updates. Preview 26.40.30 is now live for Bedrock Edition players.
“Straw beds are single-use, burning after one sleep, and are crafted from three hay bales yielding four straw beds. The update also adds cushions in 16 color variants for sitting, though they are currently absent from Abandoned Camp loot as a known issue.”
