Don’t Break Straw Beds

Don’t Break Straw Beds

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.

Requirements

• Minecraft 26.3
• Fabric Loader 0.19.5+
• Java 25

NeoForge support is written but waiting for a stable NeoForge 26.3 release.
