Multiplayer Bed Recall

From the Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 Wiki

Multiplayer bed recall returns a transported, sleeping player to their original bed through the Leave Bed button.

How it works

Entering a bed while riding a minecart does not dismount the player. The cart can carry the sleeping player away without changing which bed they wake beside.

The cart must be removed before waking. Otherwise, the player remains attached to it and is pulled back to the cart's position after leaving the bed.

This is not a recall button for an awake player. The player stays asleep throughout the outward journey and cannot resume normal play at the destination while keeping the recall available.

Using the recall

Having a helper ready to launch and destroy the player's minecart is the simplest way to use this recall, particularly because another player must be connected to the server to prevent night being skipped.

  1. Mount a minecart.
  2. Right click a bed to sleep. Leave Bed must appear before departure.
  3. Launch the minecart and wait for it to reach its destination.
  4. Destroy the cart.
  5. Click Leave Bed to return to beside the original bed.
