Don't Starve Together servers can change the spawn portal to include protections for newly spawned players. By default, this is set to auto-detect when a player is grieving. However, users can instead enable spawn protection so it always applies. This setting is helpful with other config settings, such as Portal Revives, which allows ghosts to revive themselves at the spawn portal.
