/spawnpoint or beds won't set your spawn point

I'm in the version 1.4.4 and when i sleep in the bed my spawn point still the original, i don't spawn in the bed when i die, also sometimes got the error that the bed is obstructed when its not.

I updated to 1.4.5 and now i spawn on my bed, the weird part is that not listed as fixed. But the compass still pointing to the original spawnpoint.

I can confirm this as well. The compas also points to the original spawnpoint, when I created the map.

"Sleeping in a bed will change your respawn point, but will not change the original spawn point and the location the compass points towards." -Minecraft Wiki
The compass pointing to the original spawnpoint is not a bug.

Compasses have always pointed to the spawnpoint. Have you tried "/spawnpoint @a"?

I remember when i played in the earlier versions of Minecraft, the compass always pointed to my respawnpoint, and it pointed to my bed when i sleep on it, i remember because i used it a lot to find the way back to my house when mining/exploring, and i never built a house near the spawnpoint. And when using the /spawnpoint or /spawnpoint <playername> the compass still pointing to the original spawn point.

/spawnpoint only does what a bed does - sets the player spawnpoint - without the need of a bed. It doesn't change the world spawnpoint, which is what the compass is pointing to. All the information I dug up so far says that this has been how it does it since it's creation in Alpha, so this behavior is not a bug.

Weird, in my old single players maps, and the servers i joined in that time, i always used the compass to guide me back to my house when i had a bed, maybe the compass pointing to the player spawnpoint was a bug them. But imo, it's useless if it point to the world spawnpoint.

the /spawnpoint dusn't work for me either but strangly it also dusn't work with buttons only when i go on creative and look at code inside klick ok and then it works for everything... maby this helps

I am just reiterating that /spawnpoint command using command blocks still isn't working correctly. I am getting "Your bed is missing or obstructed" error everytime I try and respawn after using a command block to set my spawnpoint.

Do you have any block at all obstructing your spawn point (even pressure plates obstruct it), and also, the /spawnpoint <player> in the command block sets your spawn to the location you are standing on unless you specify coordinates.

Compasses have always pointed to 0,0. Have you tried "/spawnpoint @a"?

Compasses don't point to 0, 0 they point to your original spawn point, which is the first found location that matches spawn conditions around 0, 0 and it is stored as a general spawn point in case of something like the bed being obstructed.

bug still exists in 13w06a

After doing some experiments I found a workaround for this bug. (http://i.imgur.com/7Qvn7rY.png) @Mods: pls paste this in description to help other

for now I at least will be content with fixing it with /spawnpoint while waiting for a fix

Confirmed for 13w07a

Yes, in 13w07a /spawnpoint seems to work, but the bed doesn't.

Confirmed for 13w09c

confirmed for 13w10b

Confirmed in 1.5 pre-replease.

If trying to spawn on to pressure plate (or any other transperent block), move y up by one to fix

I have been testing this and you spawn in or near the spawn chunk.

MOD PLEASE UPDATE STILL AN ISSUE IN 1.6.2
