Players can create a bed using three wood planks and three wool inside a crafting table. Beds are, of course, very important due to letting the player have a spot to rest and set their respawn point.

Shulker boxes are a wonderful tool. They can act as portable chests that the player can take with them. Unlike regular chests that spill their contents all over when destroyed, the Shulker box keeps the items inside when broken down.

Shulker boxes can be changed to white with white dye and can be found by defeating shulkers inside any end city.

Wolves are great companions and can be tamed by feeding a wolf a bone. Once tamed, a wolf will have a red collar by default, but its collar can be changed to any color by approaching it with the dye and then using the dye on it.

Players can easily switch colors, and the white wolf collar looks great, matching its fur. Only one white dye is needed to dye the wolf's collar white.
