In the latest snapshot release, version 26.3, players can look forward to two exciting new features designed to enhance the camping experience. The introduction of the Cushion allows players to sit comfortably around a campfire, available in an array of 16 vibrant color options. Crafted from three wool slabs of the same color, these cushions can be placed on any flat surface, providing a cozy spot to relax. Notably, cushions align horizontally to the grid and can overlap with most objects, adding a touch of versatility to player interactions.
Accompanying the cushion is the Straw Bed, a unique sleeping option that permits players to rest without setting a spawn point. This bed can only be used once and will be destroyed after a single night’s sleep, making it a valuable resource for adventurers on the go. Crafted from three hay bales, players can create four straw beds at a time. Additionally, a new statistic has been added to track the number of times players have slept in a straw bed, further enhancing gameplay metrics.
