In vanilla Minecraft 26.3, a straw bed is single-use: it breaks without dropping anything when you wake up in the morning or leave the bed mid-sleep. This mod makes that behaviour configurable.
Modes
| Mode | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Always drop (default) | The bed breaks and always drops itself as an item |
| Chance-based | The bed breaks, with a configurable drop chance (default 75%) |
| Vanilla | The mod does nothing |
Both of the first two modes also have a "Break after sleeping" toggle (on by default). Turn it off and the straw bed is never consumed — it stays exactly where you placed it.
What it does not touch
- The crafting recipe is untouched. 3 hay bales still give you 4 straw beds.
- Mining a straw bed normally still drops it, as in vanilla.
- In the Nether and the End the bed still destroys itself — the mod stays out of it.
- No new blocks, items, mobs, gamerules or advancements.
Notes
- The config is server-authoritative. In singleplayer your own settings apply; on a dedicated server the server's config wins, so there is no desync.
- Config file:
config/dontbreakstrawbeds.json - Settings screen available through Mod Menu (optional — the mod runs fine without it). Mod Menu has not released a build for 26.3 yet, so for now edit the JSON directly.
- No config library (YACL / Cloth Config) required.
