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 spawnRadius gamerule 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 spawnRadius gamerule'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

1. Randomizing your own spawn point - /wsp randomize:
2. Sharing your spawn point with others - /wsp share %playername%:
3. Accepting a shared spawn point - /wsp accept:
4. 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.
