Smart Spawn
by Argis
Smart Spawn keeps new players from landing in water by moving them to solid ground on first join and adjusting the world spawn point.
What it does
When a player joins a world for the first time, the Forge mod checks the spawn location. If that spot is water, the player is teleported to nearby land. The world's global spawn point is also adjusted at startup so it sits on land near water. Only the client needs it, and the mod is built for Forge 1.12.2 with the V1 file, published 2026-02-20. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and it is open source.

Smart Spawn ensures players never spawn in water. When a new player joins the world for the first time, it checks if their spawn location is in water and automatically teleports them to solid ground. It also adjusts the world's global spawn point at startup if it happens to land in or near water.
