Spawn at specific location

[Mr-Orxy]

Hello there,

is it possible to spawn at a specific location when creating a world?

I want to start a world directly at an ocean.

I think it would be best if you:

• Created the world with your favourite land forming settings.
• Switched to Creative and flew to an ocean: /gamemode creative
• (Optional) Use the "setspawnhere" command to now zero your co-ordinates to the spot you are on: /serverconfig setspawnhere
  See:  https://wiki.vintagestory.at/List_of_server_commands/serverconfig
  And: https://wiki.vintagestory.at/Coordinates
• Switch back to Survival and enjoy: /gamemode survival

Otherwise what you are asking is "Can the world generation make an ocean where I will spawn in?" and that would be a "No" in practice.

I included the second link because there are two different co-ordinate systems in the game. The "friendly" 0,0 one displayed in the HUD, and the "real" one used in the back end. You don't need to know about the second type - just be aware that it exists, and why it means that the above command is useful.
