"/spawnpoint" command fails directly on Pressure Plates, Cobwebs, Signs, Open Fence Gates
For a simple pressure-plate & command block setup, when /spawnpoint @p (without coordinates) is operated by a command block, the command will fail after setting. /kill or dying says that the the home bed is obstructed, and returns the player to the original spawnpoint. This makes pressure plates and tripwires unreliable for setting a new spawn.
When the coordinate is set, it is within a block- namely the pressure plate or tripwire string. This is probably why the spawnpoint command fails. If the player's hitbox brushes the edge of the pressure plate or string, there's a higher chance setting spawnpoint will work.
To reproduce- place a pressure plate above the command block. Jump or land directly on the pressure plate. Type "/kill".
Nov. 1st: I tested this today. Still get the same issue landing directly on a pressure plate. This is not fixed.

Also doesn't work on rails.
However still in 1.8.2pre-6
Probably duplicate of MC-141
Possibly a duplicate of MC-141, or at least related. Did you check for pressure plates/tripwires around the position you set the spawn?
Can you take a screenshot of the place you are teleporting them to before setting their spawn? Does MC-141 describe your issue?

A command block system triggered by an execute on @a within a cubic radius and using a scoreboard operator i.e.
"execute @a[x=116,y=55,z=-68,dx=57,dy=36,dz=191,score_Potion_min=1]"
triggers a second command block to perform the following
"spawnpoint @a ~1000 ~1 ~"
which returns
"[12:17:09] Set NicholasHills's spawn point to (1150, 60, 15)"
However upon player death the player is told their home bed is missing or obstructed and they are returned to worldspawn. This is tested in an open flat are where the spawnpoint is not being set inside a block.
It is likely that the chunks in which the spawn is being set (exactly 1000 blocks away) are not loaded at the time of the /spawnpoint command being executed. Could this in some way be impacting things?
Note: The ~1 on the y axis is to avoid issues noted in https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-141 thus why this issue is not believed to duplicate MC-141.
Dupe of MC-141
You can spawn as long as the blocks you are in are neither liquid nor solid
Yes, but a pressure plate (or string between hooks) isn't solid. A spawnpoint set doesn't appear to work if the player's hitbox is inside even redstone/transparent blocks.
the game says "oke there is a thing there , ! don't let him die in a block or something , just don't TP him so hi wont die ,'oke I tell him that he doesn't have a respawn set'." that is how it works just set the TP above the pressure plate or string
I also had a similar problem, but with a few changes:
I never seem to reproduce mine on a different world, but the bug is still on the world I am on.
Math Maniac- I'm still having this issue as well. Probably the easiest way to reproduce this is with several pressure plates surrounding the command block. If the player position is in any of the pressure plate blocks, the command sets but fails upon player death, back to the original spawnpoint. This is odd, because pressure plates are considered non-solid.
This bug is set as fixed but the bug still in the newest snapshot .. :S
Can anyone else confirm this ?
In snapshot 13w07a,I wanted to have my spawnpoint on a pressure plate,but it said "Your home bed was missing or obstructed"!
This one isn't fixed, please fix this bug!
@IanK Thanks for this description! if you set y 1 higher it works because it won't spawn you inside the pressureplate! Like this i can use this until it is fixed! (still impossible to set spawn into a 1x2x1 big space with pressureplate!)
Tested all kinds of non-solid blocks, these do not set the spawn when ontop:
Pressure Plates, Open Fence Gates, Cobwebs, Signs
Maybe it was make like this that you can't get spawned in lava and it just has the future ffrm the start spawnpoint
ya it does i was like what when it happened
I would like to see this fixed =/ (still present in 1.7.4)
This is intended. Explanation:
The command sets a "virtual ghost bed" requiring 1 free block of air for it to be placed, but cobwebs, water, lava, and mostly every transparent block, even blocks inside the player, take the space. A really ugly workaround would to be with messing with the 1.7.2 MCP code and make it so it removes the 1 block inside you while placing spawnpoints.
Respawning works on any other non-solid blocks (carpets, redstone dust, tall grass etc.) except for the blocks listed here.
You dont get the concept. It's destroyed when you are inside a block, not on a block.
Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 14w11b? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
yep "bug" still in the newest snapshot . Tested it with a room of 2 hight, set a pressure plate , set my spawnpoint there and killed myself => spawned in worlds first spawnpoint
Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 14w17a? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
Of course this doesn't work. It never has. You can't set spawn in a pressure plate. Just spawnpoint one block above. A pressure plate IS a block.
So this means that if someone has a spawnpoint somewhere, you can troll him and put a pressureplate over there...
Still in 30c.
Still in 1.8
A pressure plate is considered as a full block by the game, and you cannot spawn in a full block, so that's why it not works.
WAI.
But you could use absolute coordinates so that you can set the player's spawn to a place without any blocks
Still in 1.8.1
In 1.8.1 (and 1.8.2 pre-1), I can't use the /spawnpoint command anywhere! It has halted the development of my new minigame indefinitely, or at least until it is fixed!!! D:
It's fixed for pressure plates and signs, but I explicitly designed it not to work for cobwebs and open fence gates
