Welcome, travelers! You didn't just find yourselves here by accident: you've encountered one of the game's main traps. Currently, the virtual character is likely wandering through dark thickets or snow, unable to find the way home. Although it all started so well.

A beautiful place for the first lakeside cabin — likely just a cube with a couple of windows and doors. The walls provide protection, the crafting table is ready for work, apple trees are growing nearby, sheep are grazing. Everything is made for perfect survival!

On one sunny day, you went on an unforgettable journey where you saw many amazing places. The familiar cubic home will gladly welcome the hero, but... After death, the cubic man was not in the safe walls of the house. This is the very place where the user began the journey! There's nothing around, the inventory is empty, the camp is far from here! How did this happen?

It's all about the spawn point. By default, it's set at the place of first appearance. In our guide, we’ll tell readers how to make a spawn point in Minecraft.

How to set it in a single-player game?

So, we've already dealt with the game mechanics of respawning. Once the world is created, the player's position will become the main axis of the entire map. However, this location can be changed, which a bed will help with. It's no wonder that many gamers find themselves in such situations since the character doesn't want to sleep at all!

Seriously, at the start, the idea of placing a bed doesn't even come to mind. Why need a silly decoration when you can place a crafting table, create a pickaxe according to our guide, and go on an adventure? Here lies the trap — Steve needs to sleep to save life and respawn in the bed.

Let's not waste time: let's make the necessary furniture. Approach the crafting table and start building. You'll need 3 wool, 3 wooden planks. Hey… put the sword away! Wool can be obtained without killing the sheep! Scissors will come in handy here.

Great, now place the bed in any convenient location. All that's left is to sleep in it to create a new point. Done! Now the character will respawn here. Remember, the hero can only sleep at night.

Setting up using a console command

The method will be useful for those who do not want to build a bed, or for playing on a server. Open the chat and enter the command: /setworldspawn. This will create a new place at the location where the hero currently is.

Plugin for Spigot/Paper servers

The previous method is only applicable for Vanilla Minecraft. If you’re using a modified server on Spigot/Paper, you’ll need a plugin, such as EssentialsX. Install this and restart the game world. 

Then, users only need to write the command in chat: /set spawn. Done! The respawn point is made. Players can teleport to the desired location using the /spawn command. This is not the only plugin available. Each user will be able to find a more suitable option.

Mods for Forge/Fabric

If a server does not support certain plugins, modifications are always available to help. For example, Set World Spawn allows you to create a respawn point at any desired location using the mod files. There is also Village Spawn Point, which makes the cherished place at the nearest village from the zero coordinates. 

With our guide, every player is ready to conquer the world without the risk of getting lost. Set off on adventure, and we will see players in the expanses of Minecraft.
