Compass in Minecraft

Suppose you are traveling to some place in your respective gameplay, and you have no idea of the location where your actual farm or settlement is located there. Then how will you move to your settlement there as there are no permanent maps or direction features in the Minecraft gameplay.
This is where you get to use the compass in your respective gameplay. You can see your relative position in the map and move towards the settlement there.
Now you would not really be remembering your settlement position in the Minecraft gameplay all the time.
But your compass does remember your actual or initial position in the Minecraft gameplay. And reflects it in your Minecraft screen, so that you can follow the respective direction or mark present on your respective Minecraft screen to reach the location where you have begun your journey.
Actually, the thing with the mark on the compass in Minecraft is that it represents your world spawn point on the respective compass.
The world spawn point is that starting point where you first landed on the Minecraft gameplay when you began playing it.
After you sleep in some location or place in the Minecraft gameplay that point is set as your personal spawn point.
So, if you are on a really long journey to find something in the Minecraft gameplay, and you do sleep in the middle of it for a while. Then the place where you have slept would be set as your personal spawn point. This means that it will be your new spawn point from now on.
But inside the compass, appearing on your screen you will find that the mark hasn’t changed there. It will never change as well because the compass only shows your actual world spawn point and not your personal spawn point.
