Respawn Anchor
Respawn Anchor sets a respawn point inside the Nether — the only block that lets a player wake up in the lower dimension.

Description
Respawn Anchor is crafted from six crying obsidian and three glowstone in the standard pattern, with both ingredients sourced from the Nether — fitting for a device that only works there. The block has a distinct violet-glowing texture with four energy charges that fill in as the player feeds it glowstone, up to a maximum of four uses.
The device's function is unique: when set as the active respawn point, the player respawns next to it instead of at the world bed location. Beds explode if used in the Nether, so this block is the only safe alternative for any extended Nether stay. Each respawn consumes one charge, so a fully-charged anchor allows four deaths before requiring a glowstone refill. Critically, the device explodes violently if used in the Overworld or End — its existence is locked to the Nether by design. Most bastion-base players keep an anchor near their base entrance with at least two charges available at all times.
