r-Spawn for Minetest

Causes players to receive a spawn point anywhere on the map. Players will likely spawn veeery far from eachother into prisitine areas.

Features

• Player is assigned randomized spawnpoint on joining
• Player will respawn at their spawnpoint if they die.
  • If beds spawning is active, then beds can be used to reset the players' spawn point.
• Players will not spawn in spaces that are protected by any other player than the Server Admin.
• Commands
  • Players can return to their spawn point with the /spawn command if they have spawn privilege.
  • Players can request a new spawn point by typing /newspawn if they have the newspawn privilege.
  • Players can set their spawn point by typing /setspawn if they have the setspawn privelege.
  • Players can assign a new random spawn for another player using /playerspawn if they have the spawnadmin privilege.

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.

Settings

Note that the spawn generation is performed in the background on a timer, allowing storing a collection of random spawn points to be generated ahead of time.

Generic settings used

• name - on servers, sets the name of the admin, players can spawn in areas protected by the admin.
• water_level - Spawns are always set above water level, default 1
• static_spawnpoint - main plce the player will start at, default {0,0,0}
• enable_bed_respawn - from beds mod - if active, then respawning will happen at beds, instead of randomized spawnpoint
