Straw Bed Backport
by gvoze32
Straw Bed Backport brings the Straw Bed block from newer Minecraft updates back to older game versions, and players can craft it from hay bales.
What it does
A straw bed works as a single-use block: using it lets a player skip the night and leaves their saved respawn location untouched. Placing it sets no new home, so the original respawn location stays where it was. A bed breaks after it is used, so each night takes one block, and using it in the Nether or the End breaks it safely without an explosion. A placed composter has a 65% chance to raise its compost level when a straw bed is put in it.
The straw bed is crafted at a crafting table from three hay bales laid horizontally. The mod is built for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge and needs Fabric API on Fabric. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files cover 1.18.2 – 26.2, and the mod is released under the MIT License as open source.
