I died in my forever world and now I’m thousands of blocks away from my base . I don’t know how to find it and have no items . Obviously it’s not an option to fly and find my house in creative mode like I always did as a 5 year old . What should I do ? I thought of opening a new world with the same seed in spectator and finding the mountain that’s near my base and then doing the same in survival in my actual world, but I’m not sure if that would be cheating. Pls help me .
