PREPARATION
Exactly what you need
- Wood and spare building blocks
- Food and torches when available
- Optional: a bed
Where to find or obtain it
- Use an enclosed room or a small hillside shelter.
EXACT METHOD
Step-by-step method
- Prepare during daylightGather materials near your chosen shelter instead of taking a long exploration trip.
- Close and light the shelterFinish the walls and roof, block the entrance and illuminate the inside.
- Sleep or waitSleep in a safe bed, or remain inside if you do not have one.
- Check before leavingLook outside before reopening the entrance; daylight does not remove every hostile mob.
SAFETY & EFFICIENCY
Mistakes and dangers
- Beds explode if used for sleeping in the Nether or End.
- Nearby monsters can prevent sleep.
PRACTICAL TIPS
If wool is hard to find, finish the shelter first. Do not spend the remaining daylight chasing sheep.
