How To Set a Spawn Point in Terraria

Terraria has been around for quite some time. Despite its outdated look and feel, this RPG adventure game is wildly popular. If you’re new to Terraria, you may be wondering how to set your spawn point. In this article, we’ll cover all you need to know about how to set a spawn point. The process is the same on all devices.

How to Set a Spawn Point in Terraria on a PC

The concept of setting a spawn point is relatively simple but a bit difficult at the same time. There are two main elements. You’ll need to build a bed and place it in a room. Wherever this bed is will be your spawn point. The difficult and often time-consuming part is building the bed. Without a bed, you won’t be able to set your spawn point.

The rules for what is considered a room are incredibly basic. It needs to be a minimum of 7 blocks wide by five blocks high. It can be constructed of any material besides dirt and have at least one wall. Building a room is easy; the bed takes much more time because it requires a lot of crafting time.

The fun part of Terraria is collecting the materials required to build crafting stations and then using them to create components that will help you advance through the game. A bed is needed to create a spawning point and is only activated once you’ve slept in it. If your bed is destroyed at any time, you’ll have to build another one.

Before you can build a bed so you can create a spawning point, you’ll need to create five crafting stations. A crafting station is where you combine ingredients to make new things. The required crafting stations to build a bed are as follows.

• Furnace
• Workbench
• Anvil
• Sawmill
• Loom

To set your spawn point, you’ll need to create the crafting stations and make your bed. For those who don’t know how, here’s what’s required.

1. Start by making a workbench with ten pieces of wood. Use the “ESC” key to open the “Crafting Menu” and click on the “Work Bench” icon to create it. You’ll use this same method for creating your other crafting stations.
   
2. To make a furnace, click on the workbench and combine 20 stone, 3 torches, and 5 wood.
   
3. Get 15 iron ore, tap on the furnace, and smelt the iron ore into 5 iron bars.
   
4. Select the workbench and use the iron bars to make an anvil.
   
5. Use 10 wood, 2 iron bars, and a chain to create a sawmill.
   
6. Make a loom with 12 wood and use 35 cobwebs to make 5 silk.
   
7. Combine 15 wood and 5 silk at your sawmill to make a bed.
   

It can take some time to collect all the materials to build a bed, but that’s part of the fun. With your bed completed, just place it in a room and your spawn point will be set.
