WildSpawn
WildSpawn's sole purpose is to spread players far apart from eachother while retaining some sense of being fair to them.
Why
- Vanilla's
spawnRadiusgamerule is okay but generally unfair for players if set to a large value, say 10000 blocks. - A little something called "NRMC manifesto", which is a (WIP) piece of media full of recomendations for setting up an SMP to be perfect from my point of view. This "manifesto" includes survival first, multiplayer second entry.
How it works
- When the player first joins a server, the plugin will then generate a random 2D vector (X and Z coordinates) within a specific "global" spawn radius.
- When it's time to respawn whilst not having a valid bed or an anchor, the plugin takes a random offset within a
spawnRadiusgamerule's value and adds it to the previously calculated spawn point. - The new two values are the now the player's spawn location!
In simple terms: vanilla spawns all players around one single point, WildSpawn spawns every player around their own little randomly generated point.
Usage examples
- Randomizing your own spawn point -
/wsp randomize:
- Sharing your spawn point with others -
/wsp share %playername%:
- Accepting a shared spawn point -
/wsp accept:
- Or politely rejecting it -
/wsp deny:
Configuration
Example config:
# plugins/WildSpawn/config.yml
global_spawn_radius: 10000
The value of global_spawn_radius defines the radius in which worldspawn point coordinates will be chosen randomly when required. These values (best case scenario) are chosen only ONCE, and then a value offset using the vanilla spawnRadius is used as a spawn location.
