UltimateSpawn
Players joining a server or starting a modpack land wherever UltimateSpawn is configured to place them, in any loaded dimension, including modded ones.
What it does
The mod sets the spawn point and dimension a player appears in, with every option defined in one configuration file. Each setting carries a description of what it changes, and the file controls the target coordinates and the dimension used for spawning.
By default the mod looks for a safe spot nearest to the chosen coordinates, so players are not dropped into lava or the void. Strict Coordinates mode turns that check off and places players exactly where requested, even in unsafe positions. Range settings let a player spawn anywhere within a set band of coordinates, currently for the height axis only.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything and only the server needs it. It is open source under the MIT License and is published for Forge and NeoForge across 21 release versions, 1.16 – 1.20.6. The latest file, 2.5.0, targets 1.20.6 and dates from 2025-08-25. Lockdown compatibility is available on Forge only.
Key features
Configurable spawn point
Coordinates and dimension are set in a configuration file, with a description attached to every setting.
Safe spot search
Players are moved to the nearest safe location to the configured coordinates unless the check is disabled.
Strict Coordinates mode
Disables the safe spot check so players spawn at the exact position given, including in the sky or in lava.
Custom and modded dimensions
Any dimension present in a modpack or on a server can be chosen as the spawn dimension.
Height range
A range can be defined for the height coordinate, so spawn positions vary within the band; the other two axes are planned.

Who it’s for: Server administrators who want players to begin in a chosen place, and modpack developers who want control over the starting location and dimension.
How it compares
Death coordinates is a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.5 that needs to be installed on the client and server, and its license is All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Shifting World Spawn Point is open source under the MIT License, covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.19.4 – 1.21.1, and needs the server but not the client. DimensionSpawn is also open source under the MIT License, targets Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.8, and needs the server with an optional client.
