Random Respawn
by Neuromuser
Random Respawn sends a player to a random undiscovered place after death, instead of the usual bed or world spawn point.
What it does
After a player dies, the mod picks a random point within a configured radius around 0,0 and checks it. Where the chunk at that point has never been loaded, the spot counts as safe and the player lands there. Where the chunk has already been discovered, the spot is rejected and another point is tried with a slightly wider radius, repeating until a safe place is found. The default range is 10000.
Only the server needs the mod installed, so players join without installing anything. Settings are changed from the server console, and the feature can be switched on or off for new players by default and for each player individually. It is built for Fabric and runs on 1.19.2 – 1.21.1, with the latest file, 1.3.0+1.21.1, targeting 1.21.1. The code is released under the MIT License.
Key features
Random respawn after death
A player who dies is moved to a random point rather than the usual spawn location, so each death starts a fresh exploration.
Safe location search
Chunks that have never been loaded are used first, and discovered terrain is skipped with a wider search radius.
Per-player control
Random respawn can be enabled or disabled for each player, and a default setting applies to newly joined players.
Console configuration
The default respawn range and the on or off setting are changed through the server console, with a default radius of 10000.

This mod only needs to be installed on the server. It is configured entirely through the Minecraft console. The mod selects a random point within a radius from the 0,0 and checks it. If this chunk has never been loaded by players and the teleportation location is safe, the player is teleported there. If the chunk was…
