How to Set Your Spawn Point in Minecraft

If you have been playing Minecraft for long enough then you know that it is a dangerous game. There are enough zombies, piglins, drowned, wolves, guardians, elder guardians etc out there in the gameplay who will charge forward to kill you the second they spot you. Then again, it is in the job description. You can’t progress in Minecraft without walking into dangerous situations on a daily basis. For that reason Minecraft has decided to allow players to enable cheats and use commands in the gameplay to tweak some situations to their side. One of these commands include the spawn and re-spawn command where you can choose the exact location of spawning in the Minecraft gameplay. 

To be precise, spawning refers to the creation and placement of the players in the Minecraft world when they first join the game server. New players usually spawn within a small area of the world. This small area is 21×21 by default but can be changed by using a command. You must also remember that if you die during the game then the game will re-spawn you at a random location. If you want to go back to the location where you previously were before you died then you can either note down the coordinates and go directly to that location or you can set your exact spawn point in Minecraft using a simple command.

What is A Spawn Point in Minecraft? 

A spawn point is where you will re-spawn if you happen to die during your adventures in the Minecraft world. If you have already chosen a particular point to spawn or re-spawn, then even after dying you will be born again in that exact spot. Usually, your re-spawn points are those points where you originally spawned when you joined the Minecraft gameplay. 

Minecraft offers you the option to change your spawn and your re-spawn position by using a command. 

How to Set Your Spawn Point? 

Initially, there are two different ways to set your spawn point in the Minecraft gameplay. Let us take a look at both of these ways. 

The first is to sleep in a bed. When you sleep on a bed the location of that bed automatically becomes the point where you re-spawn if you happen to die further on in the game. Therefore, it is always good to carry your bed with you whenever you’re going out exploring or decide to embark on an adventure in Minecraft. 

Once you reach a point that you would like to serve as your re-spawn point, simply place your bed, right-click and select the option to sleep on the bed. By doing so, Minecraft will automatically set that point as your new re-spawn point. 

The second option that you have to set your spawn point to a specific location is using the command option in Minecraft. In order to do that you will need to enable the cheats setting before creating the world. Once you have done that you will then be able to use commands during the gameplay.

There are a few commands that you can use to fix your spawn point. Here are the ones that you can use: 

  • “/setworldspawn”: this command will set Minecraft world’s spawn point to your current location. You can use it with the coordinates X, Y, and Z to specify exactly where to re-spawn. 
  • “/spawnpoint”: this command will set your individual spawn point. If you use this command with a player name then that player’s spawn point will be set to the specific location as well. If you decide to use the player name along with the coordinates X, Y and Z then the spawn point will be set according to the coordinates that you specify. 

In using commands to set your spawn point you must always remember that if you use a bed to sleep at some location after you have set your spawn point using a command, then the location where you sleep will automatically be set as your spawn location. The location that you entered using the command option will no longer be your primary spawn location. 

Conclusion

We hope that we have helped you understand the mechanics of spawning and re-spawning in the Minecraft world. We also hope that this article has helped you out in understanding how to set a spawning point in the Minecraft gameplay. Remember that setting your own spawn point in the game can be a very helpful thing for you in the future.
