Respect World Spawn
by Rikai_
Respect World Spawn changes where a player appears after respawning, so spawns follow the world spawn's height and facing direction on a Fabric server.
What it does
Vanilla setworldspawn places a player on the spawn point but does not apply the Y level or the yaw rotation the spawn was set with. This mod corrects that so the player lands at the set height, above roofs when a roof sits over the spawn, and facing the direction the spawn was set to. Modded servers that want spawns to face a chosen direction are the intended audience.
Two gamerules control the behavior, one for height and one for rotation, and both are enabled by default. Either can be switched off separately, which restores the default vanilla spawning for that part. Setting the world spawn works as before, and the optional spawnRadius gamerule can still be changed, with 0 making every player spawn on the same block.
Respect World Spawn runs on the server only, so players join without installing it. It targets Fabric for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 and is published under CC0 1.0 Universal, a public domain dedication, with source code and an issue tracker available.
Key features
Spawn height correction
Players are placed at the spawn's Y level instead of being moved to the highest block at that position.
Spawn rotation
The yaw recorded with setworldspawn is applied, so players face the direction the spawn was set to.
Spawning above roofs
When a roof covers the spawn point, players spawn above it rather than being pushed out of place.
Separate gamerule toggles
Height and rotation fixes each have a gamerule, both on by default, so either behavior can be turned off individually.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners running Fabric for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 who set a world spawn and want its height and facing direction respected. Single-player players gain nothing from the mod, since it changes only server-side spawning.
How it compares
Dimension World Spawn is server-side only, open source under no license named in this catalog, and published for 1.21.1 on Fabric, so it targets a later version range. Light Level 7 Spawning is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and published for 1.20.1 on Fabric, and it concerns mob spawning rather than player spawning. Don't Spawn On Me is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and published for 1.20.1 on Fabric and Forge.

What the author says
A lightweight mod to help tweak and fix the vanilla behavior of player spawning so that it doesn't override your Y height and rotation(yaw). Useful for modded servers that want to have a spawn with a roof and facing any direction.
