Unlucky Spawnpoints
by SwaixYT
Unlucky Spawnpoints makes a player's spawn point land somewhere harsh, such as the middle of an ocean, a barren island or deep underground.
What it does
When a player first joins or respawns, the spawn is placed at a deliberately bad location rather than near the world origin. The placement can fall in the center of an ocean, on a barren island or deep underground, so the start of a world becomes a challenge instead of a safe walk-out. The mod is meant for players who want the early game to be a little harder and the first achievements to feel earned.
Key features
Harsh spawn placement
Spawn can land in open ocean, on a barren island or deep underground, depending on what the mod selects.
Adds early-game challenge
The first hours of a world are made more demanding, since the player has to survive and find resources from a poor start.
Shareable with friends
The same placement behavior can be used by a group of friends playing together on one world.
