I started my Minecraft server a little while ago. So I flew a good distance away from the place I started and began to build. Later I died down at the bedrock, and so spawned at my starting point again, and now I can not find my buildings!

How do I find the home I built again?

You could use a external terrain view to look for certain blocks, such as workbenches or furnaces, that you would have in you house, or just look for distinctive patterns near you house.

In future I suggest building a bed so you spawn back in your house. Or you can use F3 to find it's coordinates and walk back if you get lost.

Another strategy would be to build some kind of beacon (perhaps a large tower with torches on the top) near the house that can be seen from far away. Of course, this will only work if you have your render distance set to far. – chandsie Nov 26 '11 at 16:48

I would use MCedit to find the buildings, and if you want to you can then move your spawn to somewhere close to or inside the buildings.
