In any roleplaying video game, the point that the player last saved. In the event of a game over, the player would pick up at that point.
Remotely related to "restart point," but more often than not used by hardc0re or wannabe gamers to emphasize the immortality of game sprites.

Get the respawn point mug.
A placeable item that lets players respawn in the Nether, where setting respawn points with beds is impossible. Its crafting recipe is six crying obsidian and three glowstone. It requires a glowstone to charge for a single respawn attempt. Interestingly it can be shared with multiple players. Charging a respawn anchor in the Overworld can cause a fatal explosion which is more powerful than creepers and can ignite nearby blocks.
For the next updates, I hope that respawn anchors can also be used in the End, or any dimensions where the concept of day and night cycle do not exist.
