Its not the bed it's the nether, there's something that prevents the player from resting while in it.

[@invalid_user_handle]

IIRC, the actual reason why beds were made to explode in the Nether (and other dimensions like the End) is because Notch didn't want to have to rewrite the code that handled changing a players' spawn point. All that code was based on it being in one dimension, the Overworld, and the code would have to be changed to deal with it being anywhere else to not accidentally place you in the wrong dimension. It's also the same reason why Compasses, Clocks, and Maps also didn't (and still don't I think, maybe they changed it in 1.16, I haven't tested) work as well. Considering the Respawn Anchor exists, I feel like they could've fixed beds if they wanted but they just decided "Nah, we've had it too long, keep it as [Intentional Game Design].". EDIT: Some people have brought up valid ideas. Maybe it was just for balance reasons that beds don't work, perhaps it was to make sure that you couldn't get stuck in another dimension forever. I wasn't expecting this comment to be noticed all too much, so... take what I say with a bit of scrutiny.

[@luccandouglas4378]

I know at least compass' work in the nether if you're using a lodestone, but it only heads towards that specific block.

[@eritzia8854]

And realistically speaking, if you slept in the nether a bunch of ghasts will just poof on you and pretty much have the same outcome

[@PhantomDogman]

In The End maps works. Tehnically maps work in Nether which only shows top layer which is bedrock roof.

[@hankenthusiast6187]

I feel like another reason for this is because the end and nether don't have day and night cycles,which means it's impossible to know when Minecraft will tell you to get out of the bed. Yes maybe Minecraft could just go off your in game time but then it would confused players as clocks don't work in the nether or end. There are also no reasons why it's vital to sleep in the nether or end as there's no cons to staying up too long like there is in the overworld. Btw compasses check for your overworld spawn but it does work if you use a loadstone.

[@captain_hammer]

I don't know why Notch didn't just make beds display "you can't sleep here" when you try to sleep in the Nether/End (similar to when there is monsters nearby) instead of freaking EXPLODING... but if they ever tried to change it, all the speedrunners who cheese the Ender Dragon with beds would throw a hissy fit

[@purplehaze2358]

I like to think you can’t sleep in the nether because sleep is accelerating time, and since there is no time in the nether as evidenced by clocks breaking, it causes a time paradox that results in violent instability in local space time.

I think Alex would in general be less accepting of circumstances than Steve. Steve would've learned everything the hard way, but if steve had questions, he never had anyone to ask or confront about the strange nature of the world. But when Alex confronts the strangeness of the world, she doesn't have to do it alone or directly. Instead she can ask Steve if something is possible or not. But when Steve says "it's not possible" it's not the world telling Alex that it's impossible, it's Steve telling her. But Steve is obviously a fallable creature just like Alex, so she can argue. She can have a conversation with Steve and say, "Well what have you tried? Did you really try at all?" Alex can question the "impossible" things, and have an actual conversation. While Steve never got that chance to argue about the "impossible", so he just learned to accept it.

@@darthbleach8513 well in minecraft you can create golems so the idea of the bed being sentient is believable. It also explains why you can’t sleep at day. Also there is nothing sus about sleeping on a construct who’s job it is to be rested on. That is the purpose of the constructs existence.

[@jasonadams7617]

Honestly, with the introduction of netherite ore, beds are more useful this way than if u could sleep on them. I’ve found tons of netherite by blast mining with just beds since netherite can’t be destroyed by explosions, and beds are way more effective and easier to obtain than tnt.

[@The-Singularity-X01]

But unlike TNT you can't stack the beds. You'll get much more done with one or two inv slots full of TNT rather than an inv full of beds.

So, I have a funny experience about this. When me and my other two friends were playing MC for the first time together and exploring the nether, I unknowingly had a bed in my hotbar. Now, the reason I had this bed on hand to begin with was because we had plans for building a new base in the overworld and were just using the nether as a means of fast-traveling to this location. Anyway, at some point one of my friends wanders off, leaving just me and my other friend who are currently in a natural nether-tunnel that we were using as a sort of basecamp. At some point, I had unintentionally drawn back the arrow on my bow. Not wanting to waste my arrow, I decided to simply scroll down the hotbar to switch off the bow before it fired. The next thing I know, I, along with my other friend are dead, and there's nothing but a smoldering crater, leaking lava from the ceiling and walls where our tiny camp used to be inside the tunnel. Our third friend, who had wandered off, returned to find the destroyed and burning remains of our base, and me and my other dead friend had absolutely no idea what had just transpired. This was way back in the day, and neither me nor my friends knew about the exploding-bed thing because none of us ever saw a point in sleeping in the Nether. It wasn't until later I realized that by having been holding down on my right click button while charging the bow, then scrolling down my hotbar while still holding it had caused me to place the bed and IMMEDIATELY sleep in it, which created the explosion that killed both me, my friend, and destroyed the entire tunnel. Back then, we died not knowing how or why, and to this day I still can't help but imagine the look on our third friend's face when he returned to the camp just to find a burning crater.

I love those kind of stories. It's oddly satisfying to me how magical it is to play minecraft (specifically) without any previous knowledge. Sure, now that we know all those specific and silly rules of the minecraft world we are safer and still have fun playing. But oh, I would give so much to completely forget everything and play it for the first time again, experiencing the wonders of this endless world again.

its the angry fluffing of the pillow that gets me every time. it implies that maybe shes done this before, and that maybe she thinks its the PILLOW that is the problem.

[@creepymaster2746]

Welp if you look closely, Alex implodes just till she stomps her head on the pillow

[@ImAnARKitekt]

The expression and personality hints from Steve’s posture, knowing what will come, and wondering why Alex chooses to act like this, to Alex, who is clearly no longer just satisfied with asking questions. She WILL do it. Her crossed arms hint defiance, and Steve’s partially tight, yet still relaxed aura show that this has happened before, just not with this, and that he knows that she’s about to do it. 10/10 beautiful and descriptive.

[@tailnowag8753]

This is great! The facial animations are on point and the explosion is hilarious because it's not really overdone

[@semidecent4395]

Something that I don’t see pointed out is the sound design. The small details like the sound of the pillow fluffing up and the lava bubbling in the background take the original meme audio and really help you believe it’s taking place in the world. Good job!

[@hiruharada2650]

Implied lore: You can only sleep at night. However, inside the nether, it's so night that you're constantly on the verge of tipping physical laws past their breaking point. One push, one tap over that line, and the bed becomes everything and nothing at once. It becomes every kind of explosion which destroys everything else it becomes, including another bed. It becomes nothing, and vanishes from existence, leaving you with inescapable death. god armor: *escapes death*

SO GOOD! I love the way you can portray their relationship/general personalities through only a few seconds of animation (coming from someone who didn't know they had "canon" personalities lol). You draw and animate expressions and body language so well!

[@Khyrberos]

Why am I only just now seeing this... Incredible! Such an exceedingly short but sweet animation. I cannot get enough of stuff like this; memes represented beautifully & differently. Minecraft's Steve & Alex seem strangely perfect for these roles, and the squash-and-stretch of their animation is a joy to behold. The little facial bits! The outrage! The perfect censorship! The timing! I love it.

[@stasis168]

This really is amazing. The way the explosion didn’t take effect until Alex was actually about to try and sleep, too - it’s such a small detail, but it’s part of why this animation is so fun to watch! Awesome work making such a smooth animation!

[@eternalvibe9083]

Reminds me of that time that my friend was gathering materials from the Nether and got sick of going through the portal constantly so I innocently suggested that he set his spawn in the Nether to make it easier to get in. I kept silent for a solid 5 minutes while he gathered materials to make a bed then found a suitable place to put it and then went and lost a bunch of shit he'd gathered. 100% my best minecraft prank to date, and I still pay for it any time I play minecraft with him. Totally worth it.
