Compass points to home

In Minecraft Earth the compass points north. Makes sense, but since in Minecraft the compass points to spawn, I think it would make sense if you could set your home in the settings and make the compass point towards it. That way you will always know where you are, relative to your home.

    No actually, it points to the world spawn (e.g. in this post your set home in settings).

    compass have limited usefulness being locked to pointing to the world spawn point.  Once you're into the game, its use is limited to creating locator maps.  I would like to see the compass able to adjust to the last location where I have slept rather my having to use cheats to use 'setworldspawn' command AND lose making achievements.  After all, you did allow display of coordinates without calling it a cheat.  (navigating by using coordinates is difficult enough without worrying about a creeper running up your six)  Even in the Java version there is a workaround  so you can set the world spawn manually by command.  A functional compass is a great necessity for navigating  a large multi-biome world while trying to maintain a functional base area.
