Minecraft has many explosives capable of destroying an area and heavily dealing damage to players. Aside from the usuals such as TNT and End Crystals, beds can also be used as an explosive. As bizarre as it sounds, the peaceful and fluffy block on which you sleep is not as comfortable in the Nether and the End realms.
When you place a bed in these magical Minecraft dimensions, it essentially turns into an explosive. Sleep on it, and the block will explode and ruin a massive area. It is surprisingly more powerful than the TNT explosion. Hence, if you want to use it in a positive manner, you must know how to defend yourself against the explosion.
Two ways to survive bed explosions in Minecraft
As mentioned before, beds explode in both the Nether and End realms. In the Nether realm, you will mainly use it to explode areas and find Ancient Debris blocks. Bed explosions, on the other hand, are brilliant for defeating Ender Dragon in the End realm. Hence, there are two slightly different ways to prevent bed explosions in Minecraft, although the concept is the same.
Survive bed explosion in the Nether
If you want to use beds to expose an area, you must first dig a straight mine in which you can explode beds on either side. Next, dig five blocks on each side and place the bed at the very end. Once done, move sideways and keep yourself away from other blocks in such a manner that the bed is barely visible, and only enough for you to interact with.
This way, you are protecting yourself with other blocks present right beside the five-block hole. The blocks present between the bed and your character will take the majority of the hits when an explosion occurs. For reference, look at the picture above of how the player stands.
