Java Edition:Half Bed (Block)
Beds are one of a few blocks that require multiple blocks together. The top and bottom half of a bed are always supposed to be together, otherwise the bed will break. There were and still are several methods that allow a single half of any color bed to be obtained. Any method before 17w15a (1.12 snapshot) only worked on the single type of bed that existed in those versions, though that bed will convert into a red one once updated into 17w15a or later.
Obtaining
Bed Block Item
A bed block item could be obtained by converting Indev cloth or found inside debug chests generated in Beta 1.6 Test Build 3. When placed, the item created the bottom half of a bed only. The item could be used until they were deleted in 13w37a (1.7 snapshot).
Cactus Breaking
Placing a bed next to a cactus would result in the lower half adjacent to cactus breaking from Beta 1.3 to Beta 1.9 Prerelease 5.
Tree Replacement
A tree's leaves can replace one half of a bed when a sapling grows up from Beta 1.3[test] to Beta 1.9 Prerelease 5[test].
Chunk Savestating
By savestating a chunk, placing a bed on its border so that one half is outside of the chunk, then reloading, a half bed of either type can be created.
Intersecting Generation
When multiple structures intersect, beds can be cut off.
Village + Woodland Mansion
In the seed 5197004265, top half white beds generate at 96 121 41 and 96 121 58 and a top half white bed generates at 80 121 54 in 1.19.4 (test surrounding versions[test]).
Update Suppression
Update suppression can be used to get either half of a bed from Beta 1.6 Test Build 3 to 24w20a (present).[test]
