The /setworldspawn command

Set the world's default spawn — where new players and the compass point.

What it does

/setworldspawn sets the shared spawn for the whole world. New players start here, and it’s where anyone without a personal spawnpoint respawns — perfect for putting the lobby of a map right where you want it.

Syntax

setworldspawn [x y z]

x y z: The world spawn position. Omit to use the runner’s current spot.

Examples

setworldspawn

Set world spawn to where you’re standing.

setworldspawn 0 70 0

Pin world spawn to exact coordinates.
