Villager Bed
by Andriyko69
Villager Bed is a NeoForge game mechanics mod that places special hay-style beds in generated villages so that only villagers use them.
What it does
During world generation, the mod swaps the beds found in villages for a custom bed with a hay-style texture, which makes village beds distinct from player beds. Players cannot sleep in these beds, so an early-game player cannot claim every village bed before villagers have a place to rest. Villagers still claim and use their beds as normal, and their daily behavior is left intact.
Only vanilla beds are replaced, and the replacement applies to bed structures that the game generates in villages. A config option controls whether beds are replaced at all, and the structure replacement can be turned off separately. Installation needs NeoForge for 1.21.1, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The source code is public under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and the issue tracker is public as well, so the mod is open source.

What the author says
Villager Bed adds a special bed that generates in villages and can only be used by villagers. Players cannot sleep in these beds, preventing early-game players from immediately claiming village beds while keeping normal villager behavior intact.
