Custom Spawn [BTW Addon]
by DraViGen
Custom Spawn [BTW Addon] changes where a new player appears in a Better Than Wolves: CE world by moving the spawn point to a chosen biome.
What it does
The addon scans the current world seed for a spawn location that matches the player's preferences, then moves the spawn there. Preferences are set in the world creation screen, where the addon's options are added alongside the default ones, so everything is chosen before the world is generated.
Biomes can be selected in several ways. A list of suitable biomes sets where the spawn may fall, a list of wanted biomes restricts the player spawn to them, and a list of unwanted biomes excludes them. A separate list controls which biomes must not appear in the spawn's chunks. Choosing a single biome, such as Forest, and ignoring the whitelist is also possible, and the search range can be widened above its default when no match is found nearby.
The addon requires Better Than Wolves: CE and is published for Legacy Fabric 1.6.4, currently at version 3.0.1+BTW-3.1.1. It is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and it is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, which is not open source. Source code and an issue tracker are public.
Key features
Spawn location search
The addon searches the current seed for a location that fits the chosen preferences and moves the spawn point there.
Biome lists
Separate lists define suitable biomes, wanted biomes for the spawn, unwanted biomes, and biomes that must not appear in the spawn's chunks.
Single-biome spawning
A single biome such as Forest can be selected, with the whitelist ignored, so the spawn lands only inside that biome.
Adjustable search range
The search range can be increased above its default value when a matching location is far from the origin.
Creation screen options
Every setting is adjusted inside the world creation screen before the world is generated.
