Structure Spawn Point
by Eiruna
Structure Spawn Point lets a server owner choose which structure a fresh world starts near, so players can be placed beside a chosen village, fort or monument on first join.
What it does
On server start the mod searches outward from 0,0 for a location that matches the configured target structure, judging each candidate by its surrounding biomes, terrain and the share of matching biome area. When a candidate passes every check, the mod moves world spawn to that location, sending players who are already waiting there, as well as anyone who joins afterward, to it. Simple requirements finish before the loading screen ends, while strict ones can take a few minutes and cause lag spikes until the search completes.
The target is set in the mod's config as a structure ID or as a structure tag, and the mod tries both formats automatically. Entries can name vanilla structures such as minecraft:village with a variant like plains, or mod structures such as nova structures:stray fort. Changes to the config need a full game restart, and the locate structure command helps find valid IDs. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything.

How it compares
Village and a little bit of pillage is a server-required Fabric mod for 1.21.5 – 1.21.11, under All rights reserved and not open source, which changes village behavior instead of spawn placement. Structureless is a server-side Fabric mod for 1.21 – 1.21.7 under the MIT License, and it removes structures rather than choosing one for spawn. No Structures is server-side for 1.21.11 and is open source, but it also removes structures and does not pick a spawn point.
