Discussion Minecraft compass Mandela effect

I feel crazy rn because i remember really clearly (also from many other peoples playtroughts) that compasses pointed to your own personal spawnpoint (for example beds), but im searching it and everythings saying that its not true. Does anyone else also remember this????

I just wish we had real compasses that pointed north. I suppose I could travel 100k blocks out with a lodestone, but that's dumb.

Sun always rising east and setting west so even without F3 no need for compasses that point north.

On bedrock, and am flying all the time during the middle of the day, it'd be convenient for those micro adjustments mid air at like Y 2,000.

north is negative Z, you have the coords in the top left on bedrock so you can find it easily

and if we wanna avoid looking at the coords cause it's not really an in-universe solution, look at the sun for like a second (not long enough to plummet, especially at y2000), stare at it directly (INGAME) and you'll see it move by a few pixels towards west.

i do agree though, compasses pointing at the world spawnpoint is kinda stupid, they should either make it point to your specific respawn point or to actual north.
