Configure the spawn point

Set the world spawn point

The world spawn is where new players appear and where players respawn if they have no bed.

Via console command

1. Open the console at panel.baires.host
2. Set spawn to specific coordinates:

setworldspawn 100 64 -200

Or if you're OP in-game, stand at the desired location and run:

/setworldspawn

Configure spawn protection

Spawn protection prevents non-OP players from breaking or placing blocks near spawn.

In server.properties

spawn-protection=16

• Value is the radius in blocks from the spawn point
• Set to 0 to disable spawn protection entirely
• Only OPs can build within the protected area

Disable spawn protection

spawn-protection=0

Save and restart.

Set individual player spawn (with EssentialsX)

If you have EssentialsX installed:

/setspawn

This sets the spawn point for the EssentialsX /spawn command, which can be different from the world spawn.

Per-group spawns (with EssentialsX)

Edit plugins/Essentials/config.yml:

newbies:
  spawnpoint: newbies
  kit: starter

Tips

• The world spawn also determines the initial chunk loading area
• Spawn chunks are always loaded in memory (affects performance)
• Use WorldGuard to create more granular protection zones around spawn
• Consider building a spawn area with clear signs directing new players
