Changing spawn point in Minecraft is a common problem to Minecraft gamers. The article will show you a easy ways to change spawn point. The ways are practical and effective.


●Method 1 - Change Spawn Point in Minecraft

Step 1: If you want to change spawn point, you need NBTedit

Step 2: Now, you can go to the location of your new spawn point, in-game. Be sure you have at least one empty block above you, and a little room to breathe. at the same time, open NBTEdit.

Step 3: Open File and choose Open your world's level.dat file. If you don't know what it is, don't panic please! You can find it by:

If you use Windows 7, go to:

Windows 7 - C:UsersYOUR USER ACCOUNT NAME HEREAppdataRoaming.minecraftSavesYOUR WORLD NAME HERE

If you use Windows XP, go to:

Windows XP - -C:Documents and SettingsYOUR USER ACCOUNT NAME HEREApplication Data.minecraftSavesYOUR WORLD NAME HERE

In your world's folder is a file called "level.dat". It helps to make a shortcut to your Saves folder, and a lot of the people who actively use this forum will probably already have one.

Step 4: Then you should Expand the "Data" tree by clicking the "+" sign next to it. You should note the three "Spawn" entries. These are the coordinates of your current spawn location.

Step 5: After that expand the "Player" tree, and the "Pos" tree inside of that by clicking the "+" signs next to them.

Step 6: These three numbers in the "Pos" tree are your current location. You want your spawn point to match these numbers.

Step 7: In your head, subtract .5 from the top number, round to the nearest whole number, and paste it over the current number in "SpawnX" above.

Step 8: In your head, subtract .5 from the middle number, round to the nearest whole number, and paste it over the current number in "SpawnY" above.

Step 9: In your head, subtract .5 from the bottom number, round to the nearest whole number, and paste it over the current number in "SpawnZ" above.

Step 10: You subtract .5, because you actually spawn half a block higher than your spawn values. You round to the nearest whole number because spawn values must be whole numbers. And then File -> Save your level.dat

Congratulations! You have finish the work!

●Method 2 - Change Spawn Point in Minecraft

To my knowledge, the best (and only) way to change your spawn is through a map editor. The minecraftwiki(.net) has a page about map editing and I can reccomend NBT Forge for general purpose map editing and MCEdit for more specialized editing (ie copying structures, etc.).

●Method 3 - Change Spawn Point in Minecraft

Yes you can change your spawn point using different programs you can find in the "mapping and modding" section. I'm not sure which program would be the best as I've never needed/wanted to change mine but there should be a program you can use in there.

If you don't want to using any 3rd party editors you can always make a compass by first digging deep underground for some red stone and iron ore. A compass will always point in the direction of your spawn point. The formula for a compass is

I hope all of above can help you to change spawn point easily.
