I have gone out of my house just looking for some sugar cane. Thinking that I will not go far at all, so I do not bring a compass nor a map. Well let's just said I was so aggravated/disappointed that I deleted my world. This is what inspired my idea. A house beacon that will stay over your house(s) for at the most, 30 seconds. To make this you would absolutely need a workbench, 4 gold, 4 silver, and 1 redstone dust. The gold would go into the four corners. Redstone dust would be in the center and the rest of the silver would go in the remaining space in the crafting table.
But a Beacon would be a pretty good idea. Maybe not as a legitimate "light" source, but instead as a marker for the compass? Like the red arrow on the compass points to the spawn. The blue arrow would hypothetically point to your beacon. It could appear as a 2-block large blue (instead of red/orange) torch.

Something like this to craft it maybe?
No you create a beacon and take it around with and it points a giant lighted arrow in the sky to your something like that
Wait wait wait wait wait. So you want a way to find where your house is (and I'm assuming your bed is there) but it will cost 4 iron and 4 gold? Why not use a compass? Which uses 4 less gold. From what you described it 1) is carried around by you and 2) points to the direction of your home (bed) which is the exact same function as a compass
Why not settle in the new area until you can get another compass and then follow the needle to your spawn point. If your house isn't anywhere near your spawn point, you could just build it there next world, or make an arrow pointing to the house and eventually build a road connecting the two and a building around the spawn for protection if you die in the night.
Please comment, Thank you.
It won't be added to the game, but it will surely be a mod. For all we know, there really might be one.

Honestly i thought this was a crappy idea but you would right click with the mouse
There's always F3 while we still have it...
Mostly moved on. May check back a few times a year.

That's real helpful. Glad you came along to save the day.
