/setworldspawn
Sets the default spawn for the whole world — where new players appear and where players without a personal spawnpoint respawn. Distinct from /spawnpoint, which sets an individual player's respawn location.
What is /setworldspawn used for?
What /setworldspawn is for
Sets the world's global spawn point — where brand-new players appear and where players without a personal spawn respawn.
When to use /setworldspawn
Point new joins at a hub or lobby on a server, or move the default spawn after building a proper starting area.
World spawn vs spawnpoint
This changes the default for everyone; /spawnpoint sets one player's respawn. The spawn-protection radius (server.properties) is centered on the world spawn.

Permission level
/setworldspawn requires Cheats (op level 2). In single-player you need the world's "Allow Cheats" toggle on. On a multiplayer server you need to be opped — see /op.
