The compass needs to point towards either the spawn OR the last bed you set as your spawnpoint, and in order to set a bed as your spawnpoint, instead of having to sleep in it at night, you should be able to set it as your respawn point by right clicking it.
So even if you don't sleep in your bed, your spawn point will be set (it will say "You cannot sleep at day, but your respawn point has been set.") and you can find it again with a compass.
when you have used your bed the game doesn't know your spawn point anymore because that bed is your spawnpoint
Compasses never point towards the bed you have set as your respawn point though, and this needs to change. Compasses are almost useless without that feature unless you build near the spawn.
I don't agree with the compass but the ability to setspawn without sleeping is pretty cool.
Okay, but why not? Because you don't use the compass? :tongue.gif:
We could keep the compass that points to the initial spawn point, with the option to add, perhaps wool/gold to the crafting recipe, so the upgraded compass shows the location of the last bed you slept in.

Why should we have to make a separate compass just to see your bed spawn point? Thats freaking ridiculous

No. I use compass. But it's supposed to be that way. It's intended difficulty that you don't know bed location. if you really want to know, save your cordanents. Not everything is supposed to make life easier. Compasses are useless? Well jukeboxes are a useless waste of a diamond!

I disagree. A compass that always points to a fixed location allows you to find multiple locations (if you can do the math.) A compass that moves it's location is only good for finding that one location.

Therefore:
I also disagree with the above statement.
Mostly moved on. May check back a few times a year.
