# Bed Plates

Floats a card above every nearby bed listing the blocks defending it and how far away it is.

The *Bed Plates* module scans the blocks around every bed in range and floats a card above it showing what's defending it. You can tell at a glance whether a bed is wrapped in wool or buried under obsidian — and therefore whether you can break it before you die — without walking across the map to find out.

## Max Layers

How many blocks outward from the bed to scan, from `1` to `8` (default `5`). Higher values catch deeper defenses at the cost of a slower scan.

## Max Beds

The maximum number of plates drawn at once, from `1` to `16` (default `8`). Nearest beds are drawn first, so lowering this trims the far-away clutter rather than the beds you care about.

## Scan Range

How far out to search for beds, from `16` to `64 blocks` (default `48`).

## Plate Scale

The on-screen size of each plate, from `0.50` to `2.00` (default `1.00`).

## Plate contents

What each card shows.

* **Compact** — collapses the plate to a single line. Off by default.
* **Show Counts** — shows the block count next to each material. On by default.
* **Show Distance** — shows how far away the bed is. On by default.
* **Highlight Strongest** — sorts the toughest material to the top and tints it, so the hardest part of the defense is the first thing you read. On by default.
* **Text Shadow** — draws a drop shadow behind the text for readability against bright terrain. On by default.
* **Show In Screens** — keeps plates visible while chat or your inventory is open. Off by default.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Recommended:** leave **Highlight Strongest** on. Knowing the toughest block in a defense tells you whether the bed is worth pushing far more directly than a full material list does.
