Random Respawns Ported
Random Respawns Ported makes a player who dies reappear at a random spot in the world, with the search governed by a set of configurable rules.
What it does
When a player dies, the respawn point is picked at random within a radius that the server owner sets. The search can be centred on the death position instead of the world origin, so the new spawn stays near where the player fell. Hazards such as lava and powder snow can be avoided, and ocean biomes can be skipped as well.
Other options control the conditions at the moment of respawn: the time can be set to 0 and the weather to clear. The mod runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 and newer builds, and its settings are edited through the Forge config screens, which this mod requires. Only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything. It is a port of Axovoxel Hamester's original work and is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 license, which also covers the content that originates from the original mod.
