SpawnMan
A lightweight Minecraft Forge 1.20.1 mod for managing custom spawn points and areas with team support.
What it adds
SpawnMan lets you define named spawn sets as point lists or area boxes per world, assign them to teams, and automatically teleport players to safe spawn locations on join or respawn. Includes a position wand for quick area setup and full command block support.
Commands
All /sm commands require operator permission level 2.

smpos2(block is not broken) - Left-click an entity → sets
smpos2at the entity's position
The wand shares markers with /smpos1 and /smpos2 commands.
How Spawning Works
When a player joins or respawns:
- If the player is on a team, they teleport to a random point in the team's spawn set (in the current world)
- Otherwise, they teleport to a random public spawn set (no team) in the current world
- The spawn point is adjusted to a solid block with 2 blocks of headroom to prevent suffocation
