KNOWN ISSUE - Any player not yet registered with a spawn point will be given a spawn point anywhere in the world. If applying retroactively to a server, this will cause existing players to be re-spawned once.

## Troubleshooting
You can turn on `rspawn.debug = true` to see debug in logs.
If the generation log shows `0 air nodes found within <x>` on more than 2-3 consecutive tries, you may want to check the max number of forceloaded blocks configured - see `max_forceloaded_blocks`.
This should be at least `2*(rspawn.search_radius^3) / (16^3)`, so with the default `rspawn.search_radius = 32`, you should have at least `max_forceloaded_blocks = 8`
Also check that another mod is not forceloading blocks and not clearing them.
You may also find some mods (rarely) do permanent forceloads. In your world folder `~/.minetest/worlds/<yourworld>` there should eb a `force_loaded.txt` - see that its contents are simply `return {}`; if there is data in the table, then something else is forceloading blocks.
Resolutions in order of best to worst:
* identify the mod and have it clear them properly (ideal)
* increase the max number of forceloaded blocks
* (not great - you will effectively be simply mitigating a forceloaded-blocks-related memory leak)
* Stop minetest, delete the `force_loaded.txt` file, and start it again
* (bad - some things in the mods using the forceload mechanism may break)
