When I open my world, I sometimes find myself at the respawn screen. I don’t know if this is the same as the “spawn in the sky” glitch because I don’t see my character falling. 

Normally after dying, the screen goes red and tilts sideways, slowing down as it gets more parallel to the ground. However, I open the world to the screen being almost completely on its side. This leads me to wonder how long I’ve been dead in game... it’s like the game has been running in the background and I got killed by a mob.

This bug is really irritating because not only is a hefty portion of my xp undeservingly taken, but also my items are strewn about way farther away than usual.
