Saro's Random Spawn
by Sarocesch
Saro's Random Spawn sends players to a random safe surface location when they first join, and can also send them back to one on command.
What it does
The mod picks a random destination for each player and checks it before teleporting, so the spawn point avoids caves, walls and other dangerous areas. A scenic option instead drops the player high in the air with a slow falling effect, giving a view of the terrain before landing. Distance limits set a minimum and maximum range from spawn, and an optional setting can repeat the teleport on every join rather than only the first time.
Server administrators control the behavior through a configuration file, randomspawn-common.toml, which sets the teleportation settings and the messages shown to players after a teleport. A whitelist or blacklist decides which players are teleported at all. The command accepts player selectors, so one or several players can be sent at once, for example to move a group after a server reset.
Environment: only the server needs the mod, and players join without installing it. Files are published for Fabric and Forge on 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 26.2 and 26.3, and the wiki is the public documentation. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
