Contrary to popular belief you don't always spawn on sand. I've started tons of worlds and never spawned on anything but sand, but today I got something different.
It still looks like you always spawn on some kind of beach, but this time I was standing on clay.
Oh whoa. My bad :tongue.gif: the lighting was super low on my phone. But now I see it compared to sand. That's weird. I wonder if it's just sand and clay you spawn on?
I wouldn't be surprised if that was a glitch. It seems like nothing works the way Notch intended. My spawn magically moved from a beach to the inside of my base 50 blocks or so away after a couple weeks of playing.
Aside from the "Always on sand" thing, I built my base right where my spawn point is, died once doing something stupid (like you do), and respawned inside my home.
I expected to re-pop on top.
You do always spawn on sand, however if the spawnpoint it chooses isn't reliable it will move it upwards, earlier i actually spawned on grass because i was on a cliff overlooking a sand beach.
Taking a random guess but theres likely sand under that clay in your image, also spawning on snow doesn't really count, snow can cover sand as well as any other block.
I've noticed that I have not been spawning on sand in my new maps lately either. But I just chalked it up to side-effects of using the Biome Terrain mod.

really funny if you raise sea level with the mod you'll sometimes spawn underwater and if its cold enough under ice. Had it happen like this:
woah cool! Oh sh. must swim up!
Gahh Ice!!

Mining with your sis might be fun, but in the future use a pickaxe.It's more efficient and humane that way.

I beg to differ - He comes with a gigantic replica of Seananners house, with a big chicken outside of it.
That was TOTALLY worth the 5 minutes it took me to Photoshop :smile.gif:

Forge a blade to slay the stranger.
Take whatever we desire.
Move by will alone.
But yeah, it's weird when you spawn an inland map and land on sand. The only Indev theme that's still in Alpha, besides Island. I think.
Personally, I like the inland maps more.
Minus the distinct lack of water.
