Respect World Spawn
A lightweight mod to help tweak and fix the vanilla behavior of player spawning so that it doesn't override your Y height and rotation(yaw).
Useful for modded servers that want to have a spawn with a roof and facing any direction.
Usage
Set your world spawn if you haven't already using /setworldspawn and optionally change the spawnRadius gamerule so that players always spawn on the same block: /gamerule spawnRadius 0
There's two gamerules added by the mod and enabled by default to toggle each of the mod features on/off, you should never need these unless you want the default behavior back for some reason.
respectSpawnHeightToggles the fix that prevents the server from positioning the player at the highest altitude block.respectSpawnRotationToggles the fix that provides the spawning logic with the yaw provided to/setworldspawn, as it's bugged on vanilla Minecraft.
