Hey guys,today I'm suggesting the bed. It can be crafted by 3 Wool and 3 Planks. Beds could also be dyeable,there can be 16 variations(for 16 dye colors),and they can be crafted by 2 wool of the same dye color,1 white wool(for the pillow),and 3 planks,or an alternative way is by 1 bed(of any of the color),and 2 dyes of the same color to craft a bed with the same color as the dye. If you rest in the bed(not to be confused with the actual complete sleep cycle/just enter the bed and then get out),the bed will become your new respawn point,until the bed is broken,a new bed spawn replaces it,or it's completely covered by lava or water. Cats(when Cats,Ocealots,and animal taming is added)will try to sit on beds,as well as chests,crafting tables,and furnaces,however you can still use them(unlike in MineCraft,where you're unable to use the blocks until the cats off). When you rest in a bed for a couple minutes,or actually sleep,you will get a regeneration buff for 10 seconds. Beds are also flammable(when fire and flammable blocks are added). if there's monsters,or any creatures in a hostile state of behavior are near a bed,you won't be able to sleep in it,Also regardless on if mobs are near you,or your light level,or how secure the surrounding area is,you can't sleep during a "BLOOD MOON"(something for a later suggestion)at all. If 46% of players online are sleeping in a bed, the night will skip to dawn. Beds can also be fuel in a furnace,and they will smelt 3 items. Also beds will be a nice decoration to a house if 46% of online players never sleep in a bed at a time you want to sleep.
May I ask.... Shy 46% I like this suggestion, but theresno dyes yet...... Maybe just black/white wool and wood planks? I actually have an idea for dyes, I'll make a new post for it but resting to regain health would be a very nice feature, so 2x as quick as normal regeneration, or maybe another bar or something above/below health that would go down as you get tired, and if you get too tired you faint? So you'd need to sleep?
Kieranb, I overlap most of my suggestions on to each other. That's why I mention dyes.
I might also renew my dyes suggestion,since it seems like no one remembered it at this point.
actually a sleep bar would encourage people to sleep in beds,but some players sleep bars might be higher than one that's about to run out of the sleep bar,so there would need to be a percentage requirement,instead of a "everyone needs to go to bed right nooooooowwwww!!!!!" thing. Also players maybe find a sleep bar annoying if most people on the Forums disliked my thirst bar suggestion(maybe I need to tweak it,and renew it). But I'll definitely add the regeneration boost mechanic to my suggestion! :D
Kieranb,also I choose the random weird number of 46% because 50/50 would make it quite unlikely that anyone's going to go to sleep,because there's too many role-playing players that literally will never leave the spawn zone to place a bed,much less get the materials required to craft one,and 48% seemed too much,so I went to 46%. Lol
If you ask me 46% still seems a bit much, about 80% sit in spawn zone doing nothing but talk...... I don't know how they can do that! I get sooo bored. I see what you mean about sleep bar being annoying though, was just a random blurt it's a very good suggestion though, just need to tink of how to design the bed now haha, I think the block design takes longer than the actual code for solverlabs, they always make amazing blocks...
One problem if you have a base in the 10,000s and you die at 0:0 your screwed right?
-EN-TROLLJK,how would you even die at exactly 0:0? Yeah you probably would be screwed,but when you die,you keep 50% of your items anyways.
you can run go to the private chest,put your items in it,when you die it won't be a big deal then. Then when you respawn at a bed,you can look for your nearest spawn zone(there's like one every 50-100 world chunks),and get your things from that private chest. That could be a way to work around it. Also some regeneration would help you out to get to a spawn zone to put items up,or to survive longer if spawn camping mobs got your health to low
BlueTangs Rock3,or maybe they can make it to that if you die in or 6 world chunks/16×256×16 block area/coordinates(because that radius still counts as a spawn area supposedly to the game developers)in radius,then you would still respawn at the nearest spawn zone,and there can be a new invisible wall 6 world chunks away from the spawn zone one that will allow you to place beds beyond the point,and once you pass 6 chunks from spawn,then your bed is where you'll respawn.
Bluetangs sorry for correcting you but spawns are every 50 away from each other in every direction and there is a spawn when both numbers are divided by 50. ;)
huh... I was originally told it was 100. My bad,Lol.

I like the idea of spawning where your bed is. I don't know if it is doable, but it would sure come in handy.
Different colored beds would be neat also, but would probably take longer to be implemented.
I also really wish poc would implement furniture to the game. Just decorative, non functioning items would be nice. Ie. chairs and tables to add to bases.
Beds in creative mode make us want survival beds even more!!! XD this would be cool!
HAKUIN,They are in single player
TROLLJK, whaaaaaaat???? Aweeesome ineeed to check this out!! Thx for the tip!
HAKUIN,They are in single player
TROLLJK,oh they are? That's cool if that's true! :D
BlueTangs Rock3,Yeah since you travel more and respawn at 0:0 if u die
TROLLJK, That's neat. I wonder if they can be implemented to save your progress on the online server? I don't really know how that works. Do they have some local data stores on your tablet, or is your location stores on their server?
I couldn't use single player survival. I tried last night. Too glitchy.
Krystella, if you found some bugs in Sinleplayer mode, please write them here: http://poc.solverlabs.com/forums/bug-report
BlueTangs Rock3, and what will happen with the day/night circle on the main server,when all players will use beds in different time?
pocadmin, beds could be used only for healing or saving your re spawn area if you die you can come back to bed until its destroyed maybe? =) just an idea.
on MineTest(not MineCraft) servers,if 50% of players are in a bed,the night just skips. On PoC the percentage of players sleeping required might be higher by a little more. Though you can slowly heal or save spawn point just by laying down on a bed(not completely sleeping in it).
Maybe it could be used to repel monsters 50x50 blocks away from where it's placed, instead of being used as anything else. Possibly the crafting material includes something expensive, as my suggestion would be overpowered.
