[2022] Suggestion: Spawn Points

Originally posted by CrazyOdd: Not sure its still in the game, but you could use 1 bed and 1 bedroll, for spawn points.

While that idea has potential, I don’t think it’s ever been part of the (vanilla) game.

What is so hard about putting down your own bedroll?

Perhaps the OP plays with their spouse or SO, and sharing a bed (even though you don’t sleep) is important for role playing purposes.

For a time, I joined a coop server hosted by a husband and wife couple I’d never met in real life. They had their bedrolls together in the same room of the base. I can’t express how much it would’ve felt like breaking an unspoken taboo to put my bedroll down right next to theirs.

It surprised me. I know, it’s just a game. I know, it’s just a block that affects spawning. So who cares, right? But without meaning to, those notions of privacy and personal space still came through, in a virtual world between virtual characters.

It’s not the worst idea, but you would spawn underground on top of the bedroll instead of on the bed. That’s why you can’t place a bedroll unless there are two blocks free vertically: so you can spawn exactly there.
