While there’s so much you need to accomplish after first jumping into Terraria, one of the most important tools you need to craft first is a bed. Not only does it provide a boost in health generation, but you can pass the time faster while sleeping. More importantly, it creates a spawn point.
This guide shows you how to make a bed using wood. But the process takes time. Not only do you need to gather resources — one of which can be extremely time-consuming — but you need to build five crafting stations in a specific order. Only then can you finally build a basic bed.
At the end of this guide, we list all the different beds you can make, the ingredients you need, and their required crafting station.
Here are your basic ingredients. You’ll either use them as is or smelted in the furnace to create another ingredient. Each part of this guide will tell you exactly how much you need.
Note: If you don’t have the ingredients needed to create an item, you won’t see it shown in the Crafting Menu until you do.
Cobwebs will be your hardest ingredients to find. They’re located deep down in caves, spider caves, tunnels, and underground rooms and mines. We found this batch in an underground room, which wasn’t much. We didn’t stumble across a motherlode until we dug deep, deep underground, and dropped into a cavern loaded with cobwebs.
The Crafting Menu is part of the Inventory interface. To open it, press the following key or button:
First, you need this item to craft most everything else required to build your bed. The screenshot above shows that Bird Head simply placed it on the ground and then started building a house around it.
Step 1: Open your Inventory and Crafting Menu.
Step 2: Select the Work Bench in the Crafting Menu.
Step 2: Place your Work Bench anywhere.
You’ll need this item to explore caves and create your next crafting station, the Furnace.
Step 1: Approach the Work Bench
Step 2: Open your Inventory and Crafting Menu.
Step 3: Scroll through the Crafting Menu until you find the torch.
Step 4: Drag the resulting three torches into your inventory.
You’ll need this crafting station, shown to the left of Bird Head, to smelt iron ore and create the anvil.
Step 1: Approach the Work Bench.
Step 2: Open your Inventory and Crafting Menu.
Step 3: Select the Furnace in the Crafting Menu.
Step 4: Place your Furnace anywhere.
You need this crafting station, shown to the right of Bird Head, to create chains, which is one of the ingredients to create a Sawmill.
Step 2: Open your Inventory and Crafting Menu.
Step 3: Select the iron bar in the Crafting Menu and drag it into your inventory.
Step 4: Repeat these steps until you have five iron bars.
Step 4: The anvil is now available. Select it and place it on the ground.
Finally. We’re getting closer to our bed. The Sawmill, shown to the right of Bird Head, will be the crafting table we use to make the bed once we craft silk.
Step 1: Approach the Work Bench.
Step 2: Open your Inventory and Crafting Menu.
Step 3: Select the Sawmill in the Crafting Menu.
Step 4: Place your Sawmill anywhere.
Shown to the left of Bird Head, the Loom is your last crafting station of the day. Really. We promise.
Step 2: Open your Inventory and Crafting Menu.
Step 3: Select the Loom in the Crafting Menu
Step 4: Place your Loom anywhere.
Step 2: Open your Inventory and Crafting Menu.
Step 3: Select the silk material in the Crafting Menu
Step 4: Drag the silk into your inventory.
Step 5: Repeat these steps four more times to craft all five silks.
Finally! Now you can move on to craft a basic bed!
If you’re aiming to create something unusual, like a Bone Bed, we provide information at the end listing each bed and their main ingredient. Simply replace the wood for the main ingredient — you’ll still need the five silk.
Step 2: Open your Inventory and Crafting Menu.
Step 3: Select the bed in the Crafting Menu
Step 4: Place your bed anywhere.
All bed types listed below use the Sawmill and require five silk each in addition to the main ingredient. Shown above is the Mushroom Bed in our mushroom house we created just for our little blue guy, Bird Head.
Although you can craft these beds in the Sawmill, this method is only available on console and mobile.
There are other bed types you can create, but they require different crafting stations not presented in this guide. Shown above is the Living Wood Bed we created using the Living Loom crafting station we found while making this guide.
The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.
Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.
