There should be dog beds in minecraft if you tame a wolf he will Automatically sleep in the dog bed at night when you sleep and if the dog dies he will respawn at the bed

    Yes, I would love to see a dog and cat bed where rather than the "sit" and follow commands being the only ones, when a bed is placed, your dog will stay in a certain proximity to the bed until you tell it to follow, so that "sit" is replaced by "Bed" when tamed with a bed placed

    I’ve always wanted dog beds to be implemented into the game! Another feature that I feel would be amazing for this is that if a wolf had a baby, the baby could cuddle up in the same bed as it’s parents. :)

    Pet`s bad is a item 1 block size, which you can place on the ground.

    When you activate it, your pet`s AI will perceive as a player instead of you.

    So pet will start to hang around it within fixed radius as it normally do around player.

     

    Why do we need this?

    Currently adopted pet can act in two scenarios: follow the player, and to seat.

     

    But what if I want it to hag around my base, as normal cat or dog would do?

    I don`t want it to follow me, instead I want to come back from far and exhausting trip and to find my cat walking around my farm.

    I don`t want it to seat and waiting me at one place. I want it to act more like alive creature emotionally tied to human home.

     

    So you just place it in the center of your base and activate it.

     

    It would be great if cat and dog could play with each other, chasing each other, and do all that cute stuff.

    Dog could start barking when player approaches the base (enters certain radius after being absent inside that radius more then a day) and run towards player waiving its tail.

     

    It will bring more atmosphere to Minecraft. Your will appreciate yor comfort shelter even more. That precious felling that someone waiting you at home...

    Love the idea of dog beds but i think that if your dog dies it’s dead but maybe if the game mode is on easy then maybe it can respawn but besides that I love the idea of dog beds but I disagree about respawning dogs

    i like the idea of dog and animal beds. could have additional functionality like pet commands, like stop them from teleporting etc, even introduce petting. i like the idea of having pets be able to respawn but it would reduce the emotional weight of losing them, it could be a gamerule that players can set

    I think this is a wonderful idea! You could also have different dog breeds just like cats.

    I think both dog beds and houses should be added. They should be easy to make. To decrease the overpoweredness of the respawn you could make it to where they only respawn if you're at a certain level or an entirely different concept: the dogs level up too. I suggest making different threads for different creatures beds seeing as this one is titled "dog beds" to prevent overwhelming the people who look over and consider these things. These posts and threads really need to be more organized, if I were the one looking over some of these things I'd give up.

    In hardcore mode, though, the dog dies forever.

    (Yes, it's evil, but it's also consistent.)

    Idk how that would work in a server, maybe it would give more lag. But I sure would love to have my pets spawning again only and if I build this specif bed for them. Sometimes I'm walking around and they just disappear. I'm sure they got killed somehow but sometimes I didn't even see it. 

    Pets in minecraft, might sound a bit stupid but for me they are like my old tamagotchis. I really like them and I kinda care for them like I would care for my real pets. It's some kind of instinct to care for those guys.

    When fireworks are set off, dogs should run to their dog bed!

    Much like the new anchor item, dog beds need refills. The bed has 4 lets just call them heart. When the dog dies the bed looses one heart.  When the dog dies and the bed has no more hearts, the bed will break. The bed gains a heart again by adding milk to it. Add four times milk and it is full again. 

    Fun idea the bed is actually a mini pool made out of wool with milk inside and dogs sleep in it. 

     

    Pros of this idea: 

    - milk becomes more useful

    - The refills make beds not to op

    - milk and wool are already in the game

     

     

    (Got inspired by mrcrayfish i guess)

    I want this so bad. I never really get a dog because if I do, they can very easily die. I am afraid of my dog dying so much that I just leave them at home and never take bring them with me.

      This idea is also good for an alternative for regenerating a pet’s health. We know we can use meat but if you don’t have any food, they could easily regenerate health either way.
