Random Spawn

This datapack allows you to set multiple spawn points. After death, the player will randomly respawn at one of these points.

What is this for?

You can use this datapack to play mini-games and PVP with your friends.

How to use

First, you need to set up spawn points. There are two ways to do this:

1. Use the /function random_spawn:give_spawnpoint/me command to give you an armor stand. Place these armor stands on the blocks where players should spawn.
2. Run the /function random_spawn:spawnpoint command to set a spawn point where you are standing.

Armor stands are invisible by default. To see them, you can switch to spectator mode or run the /function random_spawn:visible/enable command.

⚠️ Warning

Spawn points apply to all players on the server simultaneously. Currently, it's not possible to set spawn points individually for each player.

Now when spawns are placed, players will spawn on them after death. There is one condition for a player to spawn at a point: there must not be a single player within a 10 block radius.

Toggle visibility

Enable visibility:

/function random_spawn:visible/enable

Enable visibility and additionally glow armor stands:

/function random_spawn:visible/glow

Disable visibility:

/function random_spawn:visible/disable

Delete spawn points

Delete all spawn points:

/function random_spawn:delete/all

Delete nearest spawn point within a 10 block radius:

/function random_spawn:delete/nearest

You can also enable visibility of armor stands and kill them as usual via left mouse button.
