Reset spawn point button on bed

When you go exploring in Minecraft, it is always a good idea to bring a bed. However what I don't like about this is that it resets your spawn point where you don't want it to. I think that when you right click on your bed to sleep, there should be a button above 'leave bed' saying 'Reset Spawn Point: ON/OFF. I think this will help when exploring as when you die you go back to your base to gather more items to retrieve the first set.

    This could also be solved by having two kinds of beds.  One is a bed that sets your spawn, the other is a sleeping bag, useful for sleeping the night away, but does not set your spawn.

    Good idea. I think when you first sleep in a bed, you should automatically have the spawn set, and then any subsequent beds you sleep in will have the option available above the leave bed button saying "Set Spawn".

    If the bed you currently have set as spawn is broken, you will automatically have the spawn set.

    Nice idea but I completely agree that a sleeping bag block would be even better because it would be more user friendly and a sleeping bag would fit in well with the new campfire block.

    I like the idea of a different item than a bed.  A sleeping bag?  A tent?  A lean-to?  Something to use while exploring.

     

    But...  What I would like is for the re-spawn point to be left at the location of that item until it is destructed and picked back up.  That way, if you're out exploring and you're spending some time in one area, attempting to do some things and you die, you'll re-spawn right there where your sleeping bag/tent/lean-to is.  Once you pick that item up, your re-spawn point should revert back to the last bed you slept in.

    So you could have a temporary re-spawn point, without losing your main re-spawn point at your base.

    We desperately need a way to sleep without resetting our spawn point. This should be the simplest thing in the universe to code, Mojang really needs to pick up the slack and implement this quality of life feature asap.
