Set a player's personal respawn point, so they respawn at a chosen position after death
/spawnpoint sets the spawn point for an individual player, just like sleeping in a bed. Meanwhile /setworldspawn sets the world's central spawn
, which applies to new players and anyone without a personal spawn point.
The examples below come out of the same generator as the form above, so the commands and explanations always match what the tool produces. Copy one and adjust it from there
Unlike the world spawn this is per player — the basis of a per-team base system
/spawnpoint @p 50 65 50What it does Will set a personal respawn point for the nearest player at the coordinates 50 65 50 — after dying, they will respawn here instead of at the world spawn.
Wire it to a pressure plate along a level to make a checkpoint
/spawnpoint @sWhat it does Will set a personal respawn point for themselves (whoever runs the command) at the position where the command is run — after dying, they will respawn here instead of at the world spawn.
Run it when a round starts so everyone respawns in the same place
/spawnpoint @a 0 70 0What it does Will set a personal respawn point for all players at the coordinates 0 70 0 — after dying, they will respawn here instead of at the world spawn.
This is the first example above, run through every edition and version this tool supports. Versions that produce the same result share a row
Every version this tool supports produces the same result, so a command you copy works without version-specific edits
