Set World Spawn Point
by Serilum
Set World Spawn Point lets a server owner choose the exact coordinates where players first appear in newly created worlds, replacing the default vanilla placement.
What it does
Three settings define the spawn point: xCoordSpawnPoint, yCoordSpawnPoint and zCoordSpawnPoint. Each accepts whole numbers, with X and Z ranging from -100000 to 100000 and Y from -1 to 256. A Y value of -1, the default, makes the mod look for the first solid block when descending from height 256 and use that position.
With forceExactSpawn enabled, which is the default, players are placed at the configured spot instead of the area around it. The mod applies only to newly created worlds, so existing worlds keep their current spawn. When a player respawns from a bed, the mod places them on the top of the pillow. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. Collective is required on every loader, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 29 release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.3.
Key features
Exact spawn coordinates
The X, Y and Z coordinates of the spawn point are set in the configuration, with a default of 0, -1 and 0.
Forced exact spawn
When enabled, players spawn on the configured position rather than somewhere nearby, as the vanilla game does.
Automatic ground search
A Y value of -1 makes the mod search downward from height 256 for the first solid block.
Bed respawn placement
With forced exact spawn active, a player respawning from a bed is placed on top of the pillow.

Use cases
Custom server hub
A server owner can point new arrivals at a built hub area by entering its coordinates in the configuration file.
Adventure map start
A map maker can fix where players begin a new world so the opening area matches the map design.
Who it’s for: Server owners and map makers who want new players to start at a chosen location. Because the mod is server-side only, players on a server that runs it do not need to install anything.

Set World Spawn is a minimalistic configurable mod which allows setting an exact custom spawn point for newly created worlds.
