- Cyan, Green, or Lime beds spawn in desert village houses.
- White or Yellow beds spawn inside plains village houses.
- Orange, Red, or Yellow beds spawn inside savanna village houses.

Go near a bed in the day and right-click on it to reset your respawn point in Minecraft. By doing so, you’ll spawn near the desired bed when you open the game next time. This is extremely helpful if you have multiple beds in the Overworld.
You can sleep in a bed during the night or during a thunderstorm. Attempt this only in the Overworld as beds explode if you try sleeping in The Nether or The End.
