This is a rather simple mod introducing two commands to set a static spawnpoint and to teleport to it. Yes, I know you can set this in minetest.conf, however, doing so causes the spawnpoint to be the same across all of your worlds (very inconvenient). Instead of using minetest.conf, this mod stores the spawnpoint as a string in a file called spawnpoint.conf in the world directory. This allows each and every world to have a different spawnpoint.

The most unique thing about this spawn mod, is that it includes a feature allowing you to set the time between executing the command until the player is actually teleported. By default, the teleportation will be interupted if the player moves within that time. The time can be configured in minetest.conf with spawnpoint.time (if 0, players will be immediately teleported), and you can disable the feature requiring players to stand still by setting spawnpoint.do_not_move to false (default: true).

Commands

• /spawn <player>: Teleports you or the player specified to the spawnpoint (requires spawn privilege, and bring privilege to teleport another player)
• /setspawn <position>: Sets the spawn to the position specified (in format x, y, z) or to your current location (requires server privilege)

Note: If no spawnpoint is specified, nothing will happen when a player executes /spawn.
