The /spawnpoint Command: How to Change the Spawn Point

/spawnpoint - this is a command that allows you to change a player's respawn coordinates after death. Unlike a bed, this point is stable: it will not disappear if the block beneath it is destroyed, and it does not require nighttime to be activated.

Syntax and Command Arguments
For correct operation, it is important to follow the order of parameter entry. The command supports three main formats of use:
1. Setting a point for yourself
When entered without parameters, the respawn point is tied to the character's current location (foot coordinates).
/spawnpoint
2. Setting a point for another player
Allows you to assign a spawn location to a specific server participant. The player must be online.
/spawnpoint [Player_Name]
3. Setting by exact coordinates
Allows you to set a point remotely. You can specify both another player or yourself.
/spawnpoint [Player_Name] [x] [y] [z] [angle]
- x, y, z - numerical coordinates.
- angle (optional) - the direction the player looks upon spawning (from 0 to 360).
Application Examples
Remote point assignment to a friend
/spawnpoint FriendName 150 72 -300
The player with the nickname FriendName will appear at coordinates 150 (X), 72 (Y), -300 (Z) upon their next death.
Using relative coordinates
The tilde symbol ~ allows you to set a point relative to the command executor.
/spawnpoint @s ~ ~10 ~
This command will set your respawn point exactly 10 blocks above where you are currently standing.
Mass setting for all participants
/spawnpoint @a
All players currently in the world will respawn at the point where you applied the command.
Selectors for Fast Player Selection
Selectors replace the entry of long nicknames and speed up the process.
@s - yourself.
@p - the player nearest to you.
@a - all players in the world.
Global Spawn Point: The /setworldspawn Command
While /spawnpoint works individually for everyone, /setworldspawn changes the "world center" - the place where all new players first appear, as well as those who do not have a personal respawn point set.
Syntax:
- /setworldspawn - sets the world center at the current position.
- /setworldspawn [x] [y] [z] - sets the world center at the specified coordinates.
Features and Limitations
- Priority: A personal respawn point (/spawnpoint or a bed) always takes priority over the global world spawn (/setworldspawn).
- Dimensions: The command works in the Overworld, the Nether, and the End.
- Resetting settings: The game does not provide a command to delete a set respawn point. The only way to change the spawn location is to enter a new /spawnpoint command with different coordinates.
