Home Marker

Quickstart

1. Find and place a bed.
2. Stand within 8 blocks of it and interact with the bed using your main hand.
3. In the Bed Home Marker screen, select Set as Home Marker.
4. Walk away from the bed. The top-left HUD shows the horizontal distance and direction back to it, such as Home: 42 m NE.
5. Follow the guide back on foot. Home Marker does not teleport you.

Interact with another bed at any time to replace your current home marker.

Overview

Home Marker lets you designate one bed as your personal home. It displays a simple on-screen guide pointing toward that bed while you explore.

Your marker is tied to the bed's position and dimension. It is saved for your player and restored when you rejoin, as long as the bed still exists.

How To Use

Marking a bed

• Stand close to the bed—within 8 blocks of its position.
• Use the bed with your main hand.
• When the Bed Home Marker screen appears, choose Set as Home Marker.
• Choose Cancel to close the screen without setting the bed.

The message Home marker set confirms that the bed is now your home.

Setting a different bed replaces your previous home marker.

Following the guide

When you are in the same dimension as your marked bed, a guide appears in the top-left corner of the screen:

• Home: <distance> m <direction> shows the approximate horizontal distance and direction.
• Directions use the cardinal and diagonal compass points: N, S, E, W, NE, NW, SE, and SW.
• Home: here appears when you are at the marked location.

The distance measures across the X and Z axes, so it does not include vertical height. Use your normal movement, mining, building, boats, or other travel methods to reach home.

Abilities And Mechanics

• You can have one home marker at a time.
• The marker works with any bed.
• The guide is shown only while you are in the bed's dimension.
• The marker does not move you or provide teleportation.
• Destroying the marked bed removes the marker and displays Home marker lost: the bed was destroyed.
• The marker is cleared from the client when you disconnect and restored from your saved home when you join again.

Progression And Strategy

• Mark a safe base bed before beginning long expeditions.
• Set a new marker at temporary camps so the guide points to your current shelter.
• Use the distance and compass direction to return from caves, forests, oceans, and other areas without needing to memorize coordinates.
• If the guide is not visible, check that you are in the same dimension as the marked bed and that the bed has not been destroyed.
