Change spawn point or server icon

How do I set the world spawn, or add a server icon?

Stand at the spot and run setworldspawn; for the icon upload a 64x64 PNG named server-icon.png to the root.

Before you start: Op on the server, and a 64x64 PNG for the icon.

Step by step

  1. Spawn: stand exactly where players should appear and run /setworldspawn (with EssentialsX, use /setspawn instead).
  2. Set spawn-protection in Quick Settings (0 turns it off; it only stops non-ops building near spawn).
  3. Icon: make a PNG exactly 64 by 64 pixels; bigger images are ignored.
  4. Name it server-icon.png (all lowercase) and upload it to the root folder next to server.properties.
  5. Restart the server, then refresh your multiplayer list to see the new icon.

Check it worked: New players appear at the spot, and the icon shows in the server list.

Why it happens: Both are simple settings the server reads when players spawn and when the list pings it.
