Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

The Sleeping Bag Proposal

The Sleeping Bag is a device that can be utilized to sleep to skip to dawn, without setting your spawn point.

This is useful in many circumstances, the main of which being in a multiplayer situation.

This happens often. You and a friend of yours are playing Minecraft, and one of you is mining, and while the first is mining, the second needs to skip to dawn to avoid monsters. The first doesn't want to set their spawn point in the cave by sleeping in the cave. The Sleeping Bag would allow the first to keep their spawn point where they desire, and skip to dawn without going back to their home bed.

The Sleeping Bag should also be crafted with leather or something other than wooden planks and wool. This can make room for an alternative to the bed if sheep are scarce, as a temporary way to skip to dawn until the player obtains wool. The Sleeping Bag can also be dyed, in the same fashion that leather armor can be dyed.

The Sleeping Bag should not be delivered in one update all for itself. It should be part of a bigger update that brings more with it (e.g. an update that expands on camping).

In conclusion, the Sleeping Bag would be a very useful addition to Minecraft, and I believe that many others would agree.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Emanuel.

    Great idea - we had a similar idea when we were playing multiplayer. Being able to sleep on longer adventures away from a home base would be very useful. Could still do the normal checks like not being able to sleep if there are monsters near etc., so a player may need to set up a temporary camp/safe spot to roll the sleeping bag out.

    I'd like to sleep without taking my respawn location with me, I'd even accept durability of the sleeping bag.

    Might require a campfire (stove) and also require a large "You can't sleep while there are monsters" range.
