Death causes respawn at original world spawn point, despite save in bed elsewhere.

If you tried to sleep in the nether, the bed explodes, but it resets your spawnpoint to the world spawn, did this happen?

Your fallen gear also doesn't stay on your player if you respawn with "keepInventory" off.
Did this happen?

Stephen: No, I fell into lava while mining in the Nether and died. I then re-spawned at my original world spawn point (OWSP) rather than at my base above, where I had slept. The same thing happened when I died in the overworld, i.e. I re-spawned at OWSP, very far from my base. Note: When I had returned to the Nether, I saw my gear far below before it all disappeared. I could not reach it and lost over 20 levels and all my magic gear, etc... Very painful.

Have you got solid blocks around your bed? Beds don't recognise slabs or glass as full blocks and you won't be able to spawn on them. Try placing stone or wood around your bed to see if you spawn on those rather at the world spawn.

Confirmed.

The player spawn point appears to be reset after the 1.9 update, as a workaround, sleep in the bed after updating your game.

o62 - I believe I do have slabs around my bed! Holy cow ...  Now that sounds like a glitch that might use some fixing.  I'll give it a try, thanks a lot.

Jonathan Hanzel - I'm not sure what you mean by "after updating my game."  I received the 1.9 update for my Xbox One (Bedrock edition) and I'm not playing on a PC, if that's what you are implying.  Do you mean "after re-building my sleeping quarters to avoid slabs and glass blocks around my bed?"

What I meant is the first time you load the world after the update, you sleep in your bed, that what I meant when I said "sleep in your bed after updating the game".
