If you want to avoid ever getting lost in the future, here's a tip:

Your main goal early on, after making a base, should be making a compass before you do any exploring too far away. After getting the iron and redstone you need for a compass, craft one immediately. Once you've made a compass, head back to your base. From your base, use your compass to head toward your original spawn in a straight line while making a trail along the way with torches or wood planks. Once you've reached your spawn, end the trail there.

With the trail to the original spawn completed, it will be impossible for you to ever get lost from your base ever again. Go too far from your base? Easy, just a compass and head towards your original spawn, from there you'll find the trail heading to your base so you can follow it home. Die without a bed? No problem, since you'll be ended up at the original spawn, the trail back home will be right there for you to follow.

Yeah I’m lost on creative and can’t find my old base, there’s no spawn points, cords, beds, nothing. And is SUPER far from the original spawn point

At this point I'm scared to leave my house

Watched this, saw a lit up cave, turned 180 degrees, HOUSE!

[Panroles]

Me and my nonexistent sense of direction thank you.

Omg thank you so much! My boyfriend and I have been looking for literally 4 hours and couldnt find anything. You mentioned taking a screenshot and i remembered taking one in the mine by my house. Thank you so much this is such a relief!!

You literally saved me! I used the method of copying my world, flying to home then checking the co ordinates. Thank you so much.

[cliffordmedrana]

i found my house so big thank you because im building a house and i tried the /kill @p method and it worked so thank you!

[lbnrobloxstudio]

OMG! Thank you so MUCH! I arrived home and all my stuff was still there after three days! I used the block chunk advice and when I saw my village I was ecstatic! Thank you so much I would never have found my minecraft house if it weren't for this video!

i still cant find my home. I really want it back. I tried all the ways.

This video is very helpful. I died right at the very end of the game while facing the ender dragon, the game said "your bed has either been obstructed or destroyed" and I spawned thousands of blocks away from my house. Thank you so much.

I slept at a village far from my house and I been lost for hours trying to find my house i didn’t place my bed at my original spawn point but is there a way I can get back

[TheLeenieBaby]

This video was an absolute god send! This helped so much! I was so very very lost and I didnt want to lose my elytra to die and return to spawn. After an hour of panic, I used this video to find my home! You saved my wings!! thank you!!

[Riley-xtfr]

thank you so much I was building a world that took 2 months so this was very helpful thanks again :)

[Warkonst]

Thank you for this helpful video. The compass saved me. I actually made a map in hopes it would show me where I have been and never thought of the compass, because I thought the compass works like IRL(shows north), but in- game it shows the place where you first spawn when you start playing(unless you built a lodestone and use the compass to show that location). Since my base is close to my world spawn point I found it easily.

What if I don't have a bed and I can't find my home? I really want to get back.

edit: I found my house using map viewer. It was a rather strange looking island. Maybe you could try it to find yours.

[ajforce]

This helped me ALOT Specially because the house I was looking for had years of work in it thx.

[leilanihrt]

i spent literally over a week building this town type of thing then when exploring and i haven’t been able to find it for 2 days and i just found it so thanks

[amolchougule]

Oh thank you... 😭 Finally I can go home. I was search my way since last 3 days. In survival. Every 8 to 10 hours spent on searching. I couldn't respawn because use a village bed to get rid of thunder Strom. I had a luck that by mistake I had taken 10 screenshots i didn't know about that shortcut keys. Now I've my coordinateds to home.. Thank you
