Spawn Dimension Setter
by GalievDev
Spawn Dimension Setter lets a world owner choose which dimension players first appear in, and where, through a config file.
What it does
The mod sets the dimension a player spawns into. A config.json file in the game's config folder holds the values, so changes are made there and not in the game menus. Spawn Dimension Setter works with dimensions added by other mods, as long as those dimensions exist in the world. Its author lists examples such as Twilight Forest, Paradise Lost and Eden Ring as destinations.
The spawn point can be a fixed position given as x, y and z coordinates, or a random point inside a range set with rangeX and rangeZ around spawn coordinates 0. A range is needed only when random placement is enabled. The mod can also teleport a player who is already in the world to another dimension, which covers players who want to return to a chosen world after a death.
Spawn Dimension Setter is an open source Fabric mod released under the MIT License. Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin are required. Ducky Updater Lib and fStats are bundled inside the mod. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. Files target 1.18.2 – 1.21.5, with 2.0-1.21.5 the latest file for 1.21.5, published 2025-04-10.

Random spawn range
Spawn can be placed at a random point inside a range around the origin, set by rangeX and rangeZ.
