You can use a plugin such as EssentialsX, which gives your server tons of unique features. EssentialsX isn't just for setting the spawn point, it's also used for teleportation, player management, chat formatting, economy systems, and more, making it a staple for many Minecraft server setups.

1. Install the EssentialsX plugin on your Minecraft server.
   
2. Join your Minecraft server.
   
3. Type /setspawn
