Spawn Point Question

[Persephone Applewood]

Hi. I'm trying to relocate the spawn point in one of my worlds and keep getting an error that it's "not valid". It's underground. Is that the issue? Something I read from a few years ago seems to suggest it but no follow up was ever posted.

Thanks.

Are you using /setspawn command? And // to get location? I haven't tried it myself but there's lot's of references.

Edit: I see what you mean. As world owner I get "not valid" when I try to use /setspawn.
I guess we need a dev for this one. Gl :)

Just tested that myself and got the same error.

I'll post this thread link to the devs to let them look into the problem, thanks a lot for pointing it out.

@Underbank....yes, I was using /setspawn, etc. I'm glad you and @entuland both verified the issue. And thank you @entuland for posting it to the devs.

You're welcome, Persephone Applewood

Same with /setspawn: "Current position (-1440.8, 92.5, -478.3) is not a valid spawn point!"

There is a bug with a recent tweak to the players collision size that is causing this issue and will be fixed soon. In the meantime you should be able to get around the bug by jumping into the air and trying to do the command while airborne a bit. Use the up arrow to go to the last command in the chat so you can jump and rapidly hit enter, up, enter.

Alternately, if you hang mostly off the side of a block next to where you want to set the spawn position such that you are hovering above the block you want to set the spawn position in, it should work.

The issue is that the tweak to player collision caused the position this command is using to be treated as the block below where you are standing, but the error is only the equivalent of inches off.

When will the issue of the spawning be resolved?

I personally don't know any reliable estimate about that, probably a few weeks. [edit: it should be already fixed in the development version, I'm speaking of when that fix will go live]

Did you try any of the suggested workarounds in the meantime, Mark? With them you should be able to set the spawn point just fine.

The jumping does not work for me. Still getting the same error :(

Finaly got it to work with the hovering :D

That's what worked for me. (Sorry, I meant to write this and thank you when I applied the fix, but time got away from me).

Thank you!!!!

[entuland]

Glad to know the workaround worked for both!

I wonder why the jump one didn't, though, I seem to recall having tested that one... oh well it surely is trickier than the other and whatever works, it's solved :P

/setspawn

i try to /setspawn point but everytime is not valid

[mulberryman]

are you the world owner cause only the owner can set spawn

if so then where exactly in the world are you trying to use the /setspawn command cause there is at least one other player reporting issues with setting spawn underground
