Half Beds
by bulletpies
Half Beds adds bed blocks that occupy one block instead of the two a vanilla bed takes, so they fit tight rooms and narrow spaces.
What it does
Each half bed is a single block that behaves like a vanilla bed: right-clicking it at night skips the night and sets the player's respawn point, and a villager can claim it as a home. Half beds are also counted for breeding and for iron golem spawning, just as normal beds are. The optional config setting can turn off villager use, so beds stay with the player.
Half beds come in 16 dye colors. A crafting recipe using wool and planks yields a half bed in the wool's color, and combining one with a dye recolors it. The mod fits villager halls, cabins and bedrooms where a full bed would not fit. It is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source.
Key features
Single-block beds
Half beds take up one block, so a room can hold a bed where a normal bed would never fit.
Sleep and spawn
Sleeping in a half bed skips the night and sets the respawn point, as a vanilla bed does.
Sixteen dye colors
Each half bed can be crafted in any of 16 colors, and an existing bed can be recolored with a dye.
Merging beds
Two half beds placed side by side visually join into one larger bed, with their colors blended at the seam.
Villager housing
Villagers can claim half beds, which helps lay out compact villager halls with twice as many residents.

Who it’s for: Builders who need bedrooms in small spaces, and server owners who want villagers to use more beds without changing the layout of a village.
