[MCPE-51] Bed: Respawn at the wrong height?

This has occurred to me twice in limited testing, but cannot consistently reproduce.

Bed placed and slept in room inside bottom of mountain [see attached image].

Killed next day by creeper (thankssss!) and respawned 30 blocks or so higher in house on top of mountain , where there is only a chest, no bed. (chest placed after bed, for reference).

"Odd" spawn position is relatively close, could be exact, to bed x-y coordinates, but much higher z elevation.

Later, exited game, started again and my spawn point was similar – up on the mountain near the chest, but this time "outside" near the top of the ladder.
Again, no bed up here.

Have since exited and restarted and spawned correctly near bed. Will attempt to reproduce by dieing again, but have not yet with limited playtime.

World created in 0.3.3, updated this morning to 0.4.0.

Happens to me too. Usually seems to happen when you exit the game in a tight area with a low ceiling... Sometimes I can get it to work over and over, other times I cant get it to work at all. Haven't found a way to reliably recreate it every time.

This has been reported on minecraftforum.net a few times.

Can someone confirm that you can always see the sky where you spawn? Like there can't be any roof above you?

You spawn next to the last place you slept. I have beds under shelter, and I always spawn next to it. The room is not completely fenced off though, there is sky visible through a wall or ceiling 5-10 blocks away from the bed. Edit: Actually I believe I have spawned way above my bed at times, about 50 blocks higher than my bed, even above the tree.

My house is embedded in a very tall mountain. It has 3 floors directly on top of each other (inside the mountain), room heights=3 blocks tall.
Bottom floor: bed in corner, and chest right next to pillow.
Middle floor: bed in corner, and chest right next to pillow.
Top floor: totally empty in that corner, but I do have a bed about 12 blocks away.
If i'm on the bottom floor, and click on the bed to sleep, then later die, I somehow respawn on the top floor, 2 floors above my bed (note that there is no sky on the top floor, it's still inside the mountain).
I moved the bottom floor bed 1 block further down the wall (still touching 1 wall) so it wasn't next to the chest. The problem still happens.
I moved the bed 1 block away from the wall (not touching any walls), and this time it respawned on the middle floor!

OK, I'll do some testing this week.

Johan Bernhardsson 2012-10-15, 03:28:24 PM

So yeah, looks like it's working again now. We'll see if it works when you have tried it out as well

Danny Redmond 2013-03-15, 03:24:39 PM

this is the same for ipod touch 4th(ios6) however it occurs aswell as when you leave the game when you are underground you will spawn above ground when rejoining

The y-coordinate is the height, not the z-coordinate.

I'm not sure which of these duplicate bug reports to add to. My cliff house is inside a tall hill is similar to Troy Parry's. The main part has at multiple levels dug out with a floor/ceiling between them. There are more than three levels at certain points, if you count the mines down a stairway going back and below. An indoor farm area stretches back as the only floor in that area, with an XP farm built above it with a drop chute of 21 blocks dropping into the farm area for XP 'collection'.

Many times I've respawned on opening after saving, with my character located a floor level above where I had saved the game. As in the next dug out level above where I'd saved.

Once, I saved located in my bedroom (middle floor of three floors) and spawned in the room a floor above that.

Another time I was in my top floor brewery and spawned on level above that which is on top of the cliff.

Twice, I'd saved the game standing at a certain spot, in my farm area below a corner of spawning area of the XP farm and terrifyingly spawned at the next level above, inside my mob spawner area of my xp farm!! Spawning in the dark with mobs around me.

Where I stood while saving is the 'sweet spot' roughly 20 blocks below my mob spawner space and below one of it's corners. When I stand there I seem to get more drops from the xp farm (?they detect me and fall off my 8x8 spawning platforms into 2 channel water drop best?)

Where I saved the game (xp farm sweet spot): 286, 66, -2.
Where I spawned inside XP farm: 286, 88, 4
(could be a few blocks off - I was distracted fighting spiders in the dark!)

Understandingly, I won't be saving the game while standing under the xp farm again until this bug is fixed!

This occurred most recently on 1.5.2, Bedrock Edition (windows 10) and on earlier versions before that.

(The usual place I save is located in my main front living room area. I've never respawned above that, strangely. There is a room above that but no other caves above that (I know there are no caves as I started the world as an 'old' world type, so 256 x 256 area around worldspawn (where I made my base) had no caves generated (useful when making the xp farm). Later I converted it to infinite and the rest of the world generated as normal.

It only seems to happen at some locations in my base, intermittently.

EDITED as smileys didn't go through.

It happened againin Bedrock 1.6 on Windows 10 when I saved in the same xp farm sweet spot (as above).
I saved the game with my player located at 286, 66, -2.
I spawned this time, (not inside my XP Farm phew, but ontop of it), at around 286, 92, -2.

It happened again, this time in Bedrock 1.6.1. I saved and exited the same survival world as described above (multi-level base dug into a large extreme hill).
This time, I saved in the top of base Nether tower and spawned on top of it.

Saved player location: 297, 98, -4,
Spawned player location: 297, 104, -4,

(EDITED to fix formatting)

To help solve this bug:

I could attempt to capture video proof of this bug, and link to Youtube,

Or submit my survival world (55Gb) for testing (my base is located just across stream from the world spawn point). You can get a look at my base in this introduction to my survival world video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUgn1y0L-sk
