I wanted to make a zombie survival map that i could play with friends on a server in creative mode. I did that and I thought all was good but when i load the map i spawn outside of the room i made where the spawn was. I've tried deleting the player folder, i've tried mcedit to modify the spawn point cords and i even tried nbtedit. All programs and files say that the spawn point is where i want it but the game refuses to put me in that spot. I'm at a loss and i feel like i wasted 2 hours of my life trying to create something that can't even be used. This bug needs to be fixed asap. I'm not the only case this has happened to there are multiple cases online in forums where people can't fix it unless they do outlandish things and stuff that just is not nessesary. A spawn point is a spawn point. I'm not understanding why beds can set a specific spot where u spawn but an initial spawn, a first time spawn can't be set in stone. If it's because the spawn point is in a room then that's stupid, the room is at least 20-25 blocks wide and it's 5 blocks tall with the spawn point being width wise in the middle of the room and about 4 blocks away from the wall. Please please please fix very soon. I will include the map i made with this so you can see for yourself that it's right but the game refuses to load it correctly.

In other words, the spawn 'point' only tells you where the spawn area center is, within the 20x20 block area. The y coordinate is also ignored, so setting a spawn point inside a room has a chance of spawning underground OR above the roof. For techniques on controlling spawnpoints you can watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmg_e0tZ_50
thanks for the suggestions but none of this really helps me.. only thing i haven't done is go back in and block off everything outside the starting room and if that does work i'm just gonna scrap the map just not make anything for minecraft until an accurate spawn system is put in minecraft
As already stated the spawn area is a 20x20 square where players randomly spawn. Additionally players spawn on the topmost block, so make sure the spawn room is not blocked off from the sky.
Please post any change requests for this behaviour to the MineCraft Forums: Suggestions.
The player is intended to spawn within a 20x20 block area around the set initial spawnpoint (see minecraft wiki for details). If you are experiencing spawning outside this area, then this is a bug. If however you are requesting to have the spawn behaviour changed, then I recommenced you post this as a feature request on the MC forums here.
