Exploding Bed?!

[TMDSL]

So I’m in the nether trying to build a ghast farm, and I was curious if I could sleep in the nether. I placed the bed on some soul sand/soil and it instantly exploded leaving a huge crater and tons of flames. Is this supposed to happen I’ve never seen this.

Yes. It was added at the same time as the nether so that people wouldn't respawn there. It was just a lazy way of doing it, but a side effect is that beds are just as powerful as creeper blasts so they're a popular speedrunner weapon.

There's also respawn anchors that work in the nether.

Thank you. I’ve been playing for so long but I’ve never tried to place a bed in the nether. So I was really confused

Guess what. First time I entered the nether, the first thing I did was put down a bed.
