/spawnpoint
Choose where a player respawns after dying.
Overview
What is the /spawnpoint command?
The /spawnpoint command sets where a specific player respawns after death — independent of beds and of the world spawn. You can pin it to exact coordinates or to a player's current spot.
It's perfect for hub worlds, minigames and adventure maps where you want players to reappear at a fixed, safe location.
When to use it: Use /spawnpoint to control exactly where one player respawns, e.g. a lobby or checkpoint, without relying on a bed.

Frequently asked questions
- How do you set your respawn point with a command?
- Run /spawnpoint @s <x> <y> <z>, or just /spawnpoint to use your current position. It only affects the targeted player(s).
- What is the difference between /spawnpoint and /setworldspawn?
- /spawnpoint sets where individual players respawn; /setworldspawn sets the global spawn for new players and the compass target.
- Does /spawnpoint need a bed?
- No — that's the point. It sets a respawn location directly, so players reappear there even without sleeping in a bed.
