Is there a way to change my spawn point in Terraria?

Question

In Terraria, I built a house a little ways away from where I spawn. But, when I re-join/ respawn, it puts me back at that spawn point, which gets very annoying. Is there a way to move my spawn point?

Answer 1

Build a bed (5 silk, 15 wood), place it and right-click it.

Be sure to place it in valid housing. If correctly done so, you'll see "Spawn point set!".
