Talk:Respawn Anchor

Respawning Mechanics
If the player dies in another dimension after using a respawn anchor, do they respawn in the nether or overoworld?73.208.227.101 21:22, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

response
He/she respawns in the Nether next to the Respawn Anchor unless the player has used a bed in the Overworld. SanFranciscoFrog (talk) 02:31, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Follow-up question
Ok, so you can cancel out a respawn anchor by sleeping in a bed? Just out of curiosity, is there any way to sleep in a bed while keeping the respawn anchor as the respawn point? And this may be a redundant question, but if a respawn anchor is drained, then you sleep in a bed, then die, you will definitely respawn at the bed, correct? As opposed to getting the error message and respawning at world spawn? Basically what I've been wondering since reading the wiki page is, do respawn anchors invalidate beds? Thanks. :) Katerine459 (talk) 04:14, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

What it means to "use with" a glowstone block
In the Usage: Info sections, there is mention of using a respawn anchor with glowstone block. However, it's not clear what "use" means, or how to use these blocks.

Quote: > When used with a glowstone block, the texture of the block changes, and it starts emitting a light level of two. Up to four glowstone blocks can be used to charge the anchor, the charge of which is indicated with a dial on the side of the block. Each additional piece of glowstone after the first increases the light level by four.

 * "Using with an item" is to interact with the block holding the item in the hand. In this case, the player needs to right-click the respawn anchor while holding a glowstone block. This is general information and doesn't need to be stated in every article. Lê Duy Quang (Make some words | Contributions) at 1h32:52 – 6 | 27/3/2020 (UTC)

Obtaining
The Obtaining section says nothing about where Respawn Anchors can be found. I don't know yet. SanFranciscoFrog (talk) 03:23, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
 * They don't spawn naturally as far as I know, they are obtainable only by crafting. Once set down, they can be broken to retrieve them. ~ Amatulic (talk) 19:03, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Usage
The Usage section was very unclear. I am adding an improved explanation of Charging, in particular. Whoever reads this, please compare the edited version to the prior version, then comment here. Thanks, SanFranciscoFrog (talk) 03:23, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Looks OK to me. I reworded a heading, that's all. ~ Amatulic (talk) 19:07, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Respawn Position Diagram Out of Date?
I happened across this page while looking at recent changes and noticed the diagram for where a user might respawn around the anchor. But when I look at the current 1.19 code it seems to be out of date. If I am reading the coordinates right the ordering is not what's listed here. It also tries on same level of anchor first, then 1 below, then 1 above, which also is not what it says here. I might try to rework that image and text. - AD OffKilter (talk) 15:46, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
