Nostalgic Bed
Nostalgic Bed brings back the older red bed recipe, swapping the modern bed crafting system for a wool and wood combination in Nostalgic Bed.
What it does
Crafting a red bed follows the older wool and wood pattern instead of the current recipe, and other bed colors can be made by adding dye. The change makes the first day of play less of a chore for players who want to start building quickly. The mod is also available as a data pack, so it can be loaded without installing a loader mod.
Nostalgic Bed runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 1.20.3 – 1.21.10. Only the server needs it, so players can join without installing anything. The code is not open source and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Older red bed recipe
Red beds are crafted from wool and wood, restoring the recipe used before the current bed system.
Dyed bed colors
Other bed colors are made by combining a dye with a bed, matching the older crafting approach.
Data pack option
The same change can be installed as a data pack, which avoids adding a mod to the loader.
