3. Press the M Key To Open the Map in the Game

---

4. Choose the Location for the Spawn Point

Choose the place on the map where you want to set the spawn point. In this example, we will choose this farm located in the middle of the map:

Then, right-click on the spot where you would like to teleport. A small menu will appear, then select the ‘Teleport Here‘ option:

Then, you close the map by pressing the M key again.

5. Position Your Player on a Specific Spot

Once you have teleported, walk to the exact spot where you want players to appear for the spawn point you are creating. In our case, we want it to be right where the player is currently standing:

Then, right-click anywhere on the screen. A small menu will appear select ‘Tools’ > ‘Teleport’.

---

6. Copy the Coordinates

The exact coordinates of your characters current position will appear.

Make sure to copy the X, Y, and Z values exactly as they appear in the black box menu. These will be the coordinates for what will become the spawn point.

You will have something like X = 8539 Y = 9426 Z = 0. In your case, this values will be different.

7. Log In to Your Panel

8. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

9. Locate the ‘Server’ Folder

You can find the folder in /home/container/.cache/Server.

10. Select the ‘Pterodactyl.ini’ File

---

11. Paste the Spawn Point Coordinates Into the File

Once the Pterodactyl.ini file is open, scroll down until you find the line that says ‘SpawnPoint’:

Paste the values you copied earlier, keeping in mind that the first zero corresponds to the X value, the second zero to the Y value, and the third zero to the Z value.

The values we copied were: X = 8539 Y = 9426 Z = 0. Then, it would look like this:
