Spawn Configuration

Configure player spawn points and item spawn locations using cfgspawnabletypes.xml and related configuration files.

Player Spawn Configuration

Configure where players will spawn when they first join the server or respawn after death. 

<playerspawnpoints>
    <spawn pos="1234.56 0 7890.12" />
    <spawn pos="2345.67 0 8901.23" />
    <spawn pos="3456.78 0 9012.34" />
</playerspawnpoints>

Position Format

  • pos
    string
    Coordinates in the format "X Y Z" where Y is usually 0 for ground level
  • X
    float
    East-West position
  • Y
    float
    Height (usually 0)
  • Z
    float
    North-South position

Best Practices

  • Distribute spawn points evenly across the map
  • Avoid spawning players too close to high-tier loot areas
  • Consider terrain and accessibility at spawn points

Pro Tips

Use the DayZ Editor or similar tools to easily find and test spawn point coordinates. Always verify spawn points in-game before deploying to your live server.
