setworldspawn, then the X, Y and Z numbers, and press Enter. For example:setworldspawn 120 70 -45
Protect your spawn
Spawn protection stops normal players breaking blocks near spawn.
- Open Properties and search for
spawn-protection. - The number is how many blocks around spawn are protected. Set it to
0to turn protection off. - Click Save, and restart your server.
Operators can always build at spawn. Spawn protection only works once at least one player is an operator.
