Spawn block
Is there an actual spawn block or do you spawn inbetween blocks? When I used the Compass, it would point in between 4 blocks instead of right in the center of one, but I cannot be sure based on this --Kris159 18:11, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Based on where you stand after a spawn, there is an actual spawn point. The compass points to the northwest corner of your spawn block. I don't intend to sound catty, but that information is on the compass page which you linked to! JohnnyMadhouse 16:53, 16 November 2010 (CST)
 * Whoops, I didn't notice that bit when I read it. Northeast corner, do you mean >.< --Kris159 14:50, 18 November 2010 (CST)

Can mobs spawn areas that I build?
So basicly, that's my question. If I build my self a fortress and I leave it unlit and unguarded, will eventually mobs spawn into it and infest it, if I stay inside the boundaries that they can spawn? Vvp 21:00, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah. Those bad creatures will spawn any where that is unlit. --Scykei 02:11, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

x=0,y=0,z=0?
What does this mean? If I look at a level.dat using LolEditor it says the Y spawn point is 64, and the X and Z ones are pretty much random. Is the 0,0,0 thing a hangover from a previous version of Minecraft and no longer correct? --DannyF1966 15:29, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Spawn on Sand?
Can anyone confirm this? I spawn on dirt and stone all the time. Dragon of Fate 15:50, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

the ultimate paradise
i found this awesome island but it was extremely far away from my spawn point and after a while (as normal) i died and i could not remember where that island was it was chock full of diamond and steel. do you think that there will ever be a way to make a movable spawn area in-game

 * Have not been able to spawn on Sandstone. Can someone else confirm my finding? If this is the case, it's the first opaque block that mobs will not spawn on. - Goose 19:06, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
