Is it possible to "intercept" a player spawning (on a server) so you can control where?

And if so, would you be able to tell if it's a new player, a dead player,....

 

Or how you could at least "override" the location by tping to a set of coordinates.

 

Thanks in advance, I'm working on a setspawn command and a separate spawn for new players/different ranks.

 

(Now i think there is a spawning area, and so spawn is not a fixed position, so setspawn isn't very useful)

Well Minecraft uses random numbers for the spawn, so you need to get those and change them with code, I think those numbers are in World.java.
