Changes the renderer of the bed to use json models instead of a block entity renderer! Forge port of Better Beds by Motschen
About this Mod
Warning
This project is archived because I am working on Enhanced Block Entities Forge 1.20.x port, this means Better Beds Reforged won't be updated in future (and should be replaced by a more functional EBE port). More info coming soon, stay tuned
Overview
Removes the Block Entity Renderer from the bed and replaces it with the default minecraft model renderer.
This results in increased performance and resourcepack support!
This is a port, original mod can be found here. Please, do not report Reforged issues to Fabric mod repo
(Completely clientside mod)
But where's the catch, you may ask.
Well, there is almost no catch, everything behaves the same as vanilla.
The only mod that's incompatible so far is Bedspreads, since that mod uses the block entity renderer of the bed.
Also, mods that add custom beds using the default renderer need model files provided for them.
Mods that add beds using a custom block entity renderer are untouched.
Why does the bed use a block entity renderer in the first place?
When beds were added in 1.12, the game was still using the old block id system, which only allowed for a limited amount of ids.
Because 1.12 added many new blocks, the game was running out of ids, so the developers made the bed a block entity + renderer to save ids.
In 1.13 (The Flattening) a new id system was introduced, allowing for an unlimited amount of ids, but the bed block entity and it's renderer weren't touched.

By default this pack includes models that perfectly mimic vanilla behavior, to change the look of the bed,
install one of the example resource packs from here or create your own pack based on the examples.
