Village Spawn Point
by Serilum
With Village Spawn Point installed, a new world starts with the player's spawn placed in the center of a village instead of at a random surface location.
What it does
The mod changes where a new world begins. Instead of a random spot, the spawn is placed in a village near the world origin, so the choice is predictable. Existing worlds keep their current spawn point, since the change applies when a world is generated.
A bonus chest feature is supported. When it is enabled, another bonus chest is placed around the spawn position inside the village. The structure that the spawn search looks for can be changed to match modded villages, and it corresponds to the tag used by the /locate structure command. If a custom value finds no spawn point, a fallback to the default value can be kept active.
Village Spawn Point is server-side only, so players join without installing it. It requires Collective and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files covering 1.16.5 – 26.3. The code is released under All rights reserved. The mod is compatible with other spawn point mods that adjust the starting location.
