The coordinates shown in the debug screen are based on the world's origin where x=0 and
z=0. (y shows your current level above bedrock.) Take a note of the current values. If you
become lost before youhave hadthe chance tobuild abedandreset yourspawnpoint, you
can always find your way back to your original spawn and, presumably, your first shelter,
by facing in a direction that will bring both x and z back to those noted values. If you do
sleep in a bed and reset your spawn, turn on the debug screen and write down the coordin-
ates shown before you head out.
