FirstJoinSpawn

FirstJoinSpawn is a lightweight Paper plugin that teleports players to a custom spawn location only on their first join.

It is useful for servers that want new players to start in a lobby, tutorial area, rules room, welcome zone, or starter island before they begin playing normally.

• Optional /spawn command for manual teleporting

Important Respawn Behavior

FirstJoinSpawn is designed to affect only the first join.

By default, the plugin does not force players to the lobby after death.

This means normal Minecraft respawn behavior is respected:

• Beds work normally
• Respawn anchors work normally
• Other respawn plugins can still work
• Players are not forced to the first join spawn after death

For server owners who want custom death respawn behavior, it can be enabled in the config.
