Respawn Blocks are blocks you can use to set up a respawn point anywhere in the overworld and other dimensions.

Beds, in general, should not be used in the Nether as it will cause an explosion and may lead to death if you don't have any Blast Protection enchantment to your armor. If you want to set up a spawn point in the Nether, we recommend using the Respawn Anchor.
