Minecraft Respawn Anchor PNG
The Respawn Anchor exactly as it looks in the Minecraft 26.3 inventory, as a transparent PNG. It is the render of the item itself, not a loose texture: what you see in your hand and in chests. In the creative inventory it sits in the “Functional” tab.

Sizes and quality
The Respawn Anchor render is 128 × 128 pixels, the size the game draws the item at in the inventory. It scales up by whole numbers to 1024 px with no interpolation, so the edges stay sharp.

Open in the icon editorRespawn anchor: how it works and why it explodes
The respawn anchor is the Nether’s bed: it lets you set your respawn point there, where a bed would explode. It is crafted from six crying obsidian, three on top and three below, with three glowstone blocks in the middle. Everything in it comes from the Nether, but you can make it without going: villagers sell glowstone and crying obsidian turns up in ruined portals.
A fresh anchor has no charge. Each glowstone block you add gives it one charge, up to four, and a dial on the side shows how many it has. Once charged, you use it like a bed and your respawn point stays there, even if you leave the Nether. Every respawn uses up one charge, including when another player respawns on it.
It does not work outside the Nether: try to use a charged one in the Overworld or the End and it explodes with a power of 5 and starts fires, just like a bed in the Nether. Some players use it as an explosive on purpose.
Only a diamond or netherite pickaxe collects it, and breaking it loses the charges. The ender dragon cannot destroy it. Each charge makes it brighter, up to light level 15.
