FAQ

  • Why won’t my respawn anchor set my spawn?

    You must be in the Nether and the anchor needs glowstone charges. In the Overworld/End, interacting causes an explosion instead.

  • Why did my charged anchor lose levels?

    Each death consumes one charge. Add more glowstone to recharge it before your next attempt.
