A Minecraft Spigot plugin that ensures new players spawn at a designated location when joining the server for the first time.

2. Place the JAR file in your server's plugins folder
3. Restart your server

Usage

The plugin automatically detects when a player joins the server for the first time and teleports them to the designated spawn location. No player action is required.

Commands

• /firstspawn set - Set the first spawn location to your current position
• /firstspawn status - Show current plugin settings and spawn location
• /firstspawn test - Test teleport to the spawn location
• /firstspawn toggle - Enable/disable the plugin
• /firstspawn reload - Reload the configuration

Permissions

• firstspawn.admin - Access to all FirstSpawn commands (default: op)

Configuration

The plugin's configuration file (config.yml) is organized into logical sections:

# Enable or disable the plugin
enabled: true

# First spawn location coordinates
firstSpawn:
  world: world
  x: -115
  y: 65
  z: -60

For detailed configuration options, see the comments in the generated config.yml file.

Requirements

• Spigot/Paper 1.21.8+ or Folia 1.21.8+
• Java 21+

Folia Support

FirstSpawn is fully compatible with Folia, the multithreaded Minecraft server software. The plugin automatically detects whether it's running on Folia and uses the appropriate scheduler APIs:

• Spigot/Paper: Uses traditional Bukkit scheduler
• Folia: Uses RegionScheduler, EntityScheduler, and AsyncScheduler for thread-safe operations

Features on Folia:

• ✅ Thread-safe player teleportation
• ✅ Cross-region compatibility
• ✅ Async update checking
• ✅ Entity-based scheduling for player notifications

The plugin gracefully falls back to Bukkit scheduler methods if any Folia-specific operations fail, ensuring stability across all platforms.

Used By

• SuegoFaults - A curated adult Minecraft community where this plugin ensures new players land in a welcoming, consistent starting location.
