How to know where I will respawn?

[Professor Dragon]

After I created my main world, I created a base pretty close to where I spawned in.

Since then, I have journeyed south some way, establishing bases along the way.

I, regrettably, respawned a few times (after foolhardedly thinking I was up for a "deathless" run)  in some forgettable locations.

I can NOT remember if I have ever used a Temporal Gear to set a new respawn location.

QUESTION
Is there a command which will show where I will respawn if I die?

• If my respawn location is going to be "close" to my original main base world spawn point, then I wish to leave it at that.
• However, if my respawn location is in some forgotten base/location, then I will reset my spawn with a temporal gear to my current location.

My world settings are as follows:

 

My original main base is at 2458, 1, 3183 according to the map co-ordinates.
My current location is at 3676, 1, 30476.

Hmmm . . . looking at my co-ordinates, it looks like I wouldn't be put anywhere near anywhere useful potentially, given the large respawn radius. I could narrow that down I suppose.

I am trying to be "good" and do a "clear run" from here on out, but I've been playing this world for three years and a death now would be an inconvenience.

I see the command "/serverconfig defaultspawn [x y? z]" but don't wish to accidentally reset my spawn instead of viewing it. (EDIT. Tried "/serverconfig defaultspawn" on a test world and it then asked for a "subcommand", so I'm missing something if I want a "display only".)

Thanks.

OMG and YASD. 

 

I can't believe the timing of this. I've died after three years of playing (on and off with long breaks) on this same world. THREE. YEARS.

Sooooo . . . my question has become irrelevant in practice.

There I was, going to water my indoor greenhouse and just hands free while I'm explaining how it works - when some family member (Who will remain nameless - forever. Treachery made manifest.) thought it would be a good idea to reach down to the mouse, and click the door to the greenhouse open, while there were monsters outside.

I wasn't in my armor - that was upstairs. I was just watering crops and saving on hunger decline.

I wasn't playing in full screen. I was just watering crops and not in a combat ready mode.

 

I switched to my weapon and got a few hits in, when suddenly other applications are opening up - I'd inadvertently clicked out of the window onto the Taskbar.

So, that part was my fault. User error. By the time I regained control of Vintage Story, it was too late. Killed.

 

Aaaaaand the question about my respawn was answered. I respawned the better part of 10,000 blocks away, in a direction away from any area I'd explored recently.

 

I crumpled. THREE YEARS of nursing this character through this world and playing it safe - to die like this.

 

I capitulated. I caved in . . . I set the game mode to "Creative" and teleported back to my base.

• I've changed my options to have "Keep Inventory" ON. 
• I'm strongly considering changing my death range from 10,000 down to something more manageable like 500. EDIT: I have changed.
• My respawn appears to have been located from my original spawn location, so bright side, at least practically I know the answer to the question in this post. Even if I didn't get a command for it.

 

<Sigh>

Thank you for reading, if you made it this far.

Your wife does stuff like that, too?
