How to make everyone spawn in one spot in Minecraft

Run /gamerule respawn_radius 0 and new or bedless players appear on exactly the world spawn block instead of a random spot nearby.

respawn_radius

Sets how many blocks from the world spawn point players without a bed can respawn.

/gamerule respawn_radius <value>

Examples

/gamerule respawn_radius 0

Spawn exactly on the world spawn point.

/setworldspawn 0 64 0

Set where that spawn point is.

Arguments

valueOptional: Whole number to set. Leave it out to show the current value.

What it does

Players who join for the first time or die without a bed or respawn anchor appear at a random spot within this radius of world spawn. Set it to 0 so everyone lands on exactly the same block, which is what lobbies and spawn hubs want.

Good to know

Renamed from spawnRadius.
