How to Get a Villager to Attach to a Bed
To get a villager to attach to a bed, you need to ensure that the villager is within a 48 block sphere of the bed, the bed is not already claimed by another villager, and the villager has a pathfinding route to the bed. By meeting these conditions, a villager will claim the bed, which is essential for various in-game activities such as breeding and sleeping.
Understanding Villager Behavior
Understanding villager behavior is crucial to getting them to attach to beds. Villagers have specific needs and behaviors that must be met for them to thrive and interact with their environment.
