How to Set Up a Minecraft Spawn

The spawn (spawn point) is a location in a Minecraft world where a player or entity is generated. For servers, this is where new players will be located when joining for the first time.

Players will also re-spawn on this location upon death when they have not used a bed or changed their individual spawn point. A lot of servers, through the use of mods or plugins, have a command that allows players to teleport back to the world's spawn point.

# Setting the World Spawn

If you have OP permissions in-game, you can simply enter the /setworldspawn command to set the world spawn to the location and orientation you are currently standing in.

If you would like to set the world spawn point in your server's console, you will need to add coordinates to the command you send.

1. Open your server's control panel

2. In the Console window, enter Setworldspawn

After replacing the placeholders , , and with their respective in-game coordinates, you can enter the command to the world's spawn point to that location.

# Setting Player Spawn Points

You can use the spawnpoint command to set the spawn point of individual players as well, as long as they are online when you run the command. Similarly to the setworldspawn command, if you have OP permissions, you can use this command in-game to set the spawn point of the specified player to the location and orientation you are currently standing in.

If you're going to send the spawnpoint command from the server console, you will need to add exact coordinates of where you'd like to set a player's spawn point.

1. Open your server's control panel

2. In the Console window, enter Spawnpoint

After replacing the placeholder with the name of the player you would like to edit the spawn point of, and replacing , , and with their respective in-game coordinates, you can enter the command to change the target player's spawn point to that location.

That's it! You've now learned how to set a spawn point on your server.
