relates to MCPE-12359 Compass not pointing to world spawn p... Resolved
Confirmation Status: Unconfirmed
Platform: Windows

 Description   

I had been mining a distance from "home" for 3 days. I think there may have been an update during that time (because days 1 and 2, there were no rabbits, day 3 I seen them). Not completely sure. But when I used my compass to return "home," it brought me to the top of some random mountain (not even close to home). I killed myself, but again, spawned at the same place. I had to enter this world on my Android (which fortunately, last time I used it, I was "home") to "rescue" myself, but if I didn't have that, I'd probably still be "lost." Also, is there any way to change this back so the compass points to the original world spawn? (I tried sleeping in the bed)

I am afraid we can not reproduce this bug in the recent version. Please update affected versions if this bug still occurs.

Try this
Have a copy of the world
Set your copy to creative and fly around until you find it
Then try to find to find it again

The title is "Spawn point" and the description is incomplete, where you started building a house? Is the location of the house was very far away from the world spawn? Then, what is the world seed, and when you created the world, is it on 0.13.0 or beta version?

PlantSeed, this issue is about compasses suddenly started to point to somewhere not the world spawn. I think it's a bug, not working as intended.

This is "Work as Intended" see minecraft.gamepedia.com/Compass for more details about Compass!

Can't make maps in 0.13.0 (I did try tho). I had to "rescue" myself by entering my world through my Android and making a path from home to my new spawn.. And yes, my "home" was where the original spawn was, so I had been using my compass to find my way back home.

Compasses don't work in Windows 10 Minecraft yet, It directs you to the spawn. You can try to find your way back using a Map ( Three Sugar Cane to make Paper, Square of paper then compass in the middle)
