Respawn Anchor block in Minecraft

Added in 1.16 Mined with: pickaxe Requires at least diamond Stack size: 64

The Respawn Anchor lets you set your respawn point in the Nether, where beds explode.

It is made with the Crafting Table from 3 × Glowstone and 6 × Crying Obsidian. It is mined with a pickaxe (at least tier diamond). It gives off light up to level 15, depending on its state.

What it does

Six Crying Obsidian and three Glowstone craft it. Charge it with glowstone blocks, up to four charges, then use it to set your spawn; each respawn uses a charge. Used outside the Nether, a charged anchor explodes violently.
