# Defining spawn

You can define spawn using **WorldEdit** or other plugins like **EssentialsSpawn**, although the combination of WorldEdit + WorldGuard works especially well.

#### Steps:

1. Use a wooden axe to select two opposite corners of your build. This will create a region around your build.
2. Run the command:

   ```
   /rg create spawn
   ```

   to create the region.
3. Customize the region with:

   ```
   /rg flag
   ```

   This will automatically prevent players from building in the spawn area.
4. If the spawn radius is too large or the spawn point isn’t where you want it, use:

   ```
   /gamerule spawnradius 0
   ```
5. With Essentials, you can set the exact spawn block using:

   ```
   /setspawn
   ```

   Players will then spawn on the block you are standing on.
