Suggestion: Add Durability Mechanic to the New Straw Bed

Suggestion: Add Durability Mechanic to the New Straw Bed

Description

I would like to suggest adding a durability system to the newly added Straw Bed to make it more balanced and functional in survival mode.

Details

  • Give the Straw Bed 4 durability points when crafted.Minecraft
  • Each time a player lies down and then leaves the bed, the durability decreases by 1 point.Minecraft
  • When durability reaches 0, the Straw Bed breaks and disappears, similar to other tools.
  • Durability should be visible in the inventory (like tool durability bars).Minecraft
  • When the crosshair hovers over a placed Straw Bed, show its current durability as floating text, just like name tags.Minecraft

Reason

Currently the Straw Bed is one-use only, which is too fragile for exploration and temporary bases. A 4-use durability system keeps it simple, portable, and balanced while adding a small survival management element. It would be very helpful for long journeys and wilderness camping.

    Maybe the straw bed's durability should decrease by chance if the player hasn't slept fully. If a player successfully sleeps, 1 durability point is always used. If a player does not completely but partially sleep, the chance of a durability point loss depends on the player's SleepTimer NBT tag's value. (for example, if that tag's value was 10, then it's a 10% chance, whereas if that tag's value was 80 then it's an 80% chance.)

    I would prefer visual indicators as well. Full durability appears like a normal straw bed, whereas on its last use, the straw bed appears like worn out.

    If Straw Bed has durability, it will be not stackable.
