Random Spawn

Table of Contents

Random Spawn is a simple plugin that spawns players at a random location in the world on their first login (configurable) and when they die. Sleeping in a bed disables the random spawn function and players will respawn at their bed when they die.

This is the first plugin I made. The idea for this plugin came from NuclearW's SpawnArea. I've used that for a while on my own server but thought it could use some extra features, so I tried to make one myself.

Thanks to NuclearW and Bretflann for being awesome and letting me use some of their code!

Thanks to WayGroovy and Francis Fenderson for donating!

Features:

Random Spawn will not spawn players in:
- lava
- cacti
- water
- fire

You can set a border where the players will random spawn inside
After a player has lain or slept in a bed he won't be random spawned anymore and he will re-spawn at their bed if he dies
- This can be disabled when setting usebeds: false in the world.yml
You can configure if players will be random spawned on there first join. (if false they will spawn at the map's default spawnpoint)
- you can set the first spawn location with the /setspawn command
You can exclude players from being random spawned using the RandomSpawn.exclude permission node
Random Spawn spawns players in a set area. You can define this area per world in the worlds.yml.
Multiworld compatable
Random Spawn signs. Type: [RandomSpawn] on the first line of a sign. To specify a world, type the world name on the second line. Configurable in config.yml.

I have been looking for this server feature because my server world is becoming very crowded. Since everyone using the random tp sign to get out of spawn, this will allow players to go to another world to build without even thinking about that they're going into a different world!. I would really appreciate you forever if you add this in!

Okay, I need this plugin to work x 20000 z 20000 to -20000 -20000 etc and I'm sometimes suffocating in walls when i do /rs spawn.

I want when people first join the server they are automatically teleported around x -20000 to x 20000 to x -20000 x 20000 without problems such as getting stuck in blocks. ( I also experience a bit of lag when I do this but i think it's just because it's generating the world or something lol)
Edit: Sometimes I'm spawning in caves :/ Is it possible to prevent spawning that far underground and just spawn on surface?
Edit: It's come to nearly always spawning in walls, and the player is not spawning in a random spawn when they first join.
I need players to stick to that spawn until they sleep in a bed.

I had issues with Multiverse before where it was conflicting with the random spawning. I'll check it once again to see if I can do something about it.

What if we could put the name of the world on the 2nd line and have the sign randomtp the player to the defined radius in that world?

You could have the portal have the player automatically perform a command.. or use command blocks..

Can you make it so you can walk through a portal to do a randomspawn?

I am using Craftbukkit Build 2681 with multiverse, it seems that the randomspawn on first join is not working. There are no errors shown in log. Greeting,

Alex

Can you add a feature where you designate the random spawn radius from the sign? I want 2 random spawn areas in one world. Don't want to use a large area

This plugin needs an exact spawn option for the first join spawn my players keep spawning in lava or in areas they aren't supposed to and i have tried setting a blacklist but the blacklist doesn't seem to work on firstspawn.

Hello!

I am trying to get this to work, I even removed all other plugins than PermissionEx and RandomSpawn.

When I die, it doesnt remember where I first spawned, it keeps giving me new locations.. Why is this? I've tried alot of combinations, but I either spawn at spawn, or at a random new location.

Never the same location twice.

This is part of my config world: keeprandomspawns: true randomspawnonfirstjoin: true randomspawnon: - firstjoin - respawn

This is my bukkit version: git-Bukkit-1.4.7-R1.0-b2624jnks (MC: 1.4.7) (Implementing API version 1.4.7-R1.0)

Hello! I'm wondering if there's a way to make sure new players DON'T spawn in a certain region? For example I would like my new players to spawn outside any already established cities, which are protected by WorldGuard regions.

Essentials always take over your plugins, I put it as "lowest" in essentails config files, but still the same problems
