Spawning in the ground seems to be an error in the login sequence. The player is supposed to be suspended in the air until it has received a certain packet. In some previous versions of minecraft the player would be stuck in the air until the chunks around the player are received, however now the player starts falling while it has not received the chunks which results in falling into nothingness.

Yeah, I wasn't sure what was causing it, I could tell it was from falling though. I just teleport the player to the top right before the entities become unlocked during the login.

No, you teleport the player to the spawn position That's not right
