⭐Spawnpoints

Spawnpoints can be considered a special type of warp - they're often the first point that a player is teleported to, whether it is in the server, or after they die. In AdvancedTeleport, they can also be referenced by an ID and be even more flexible than a standard spawn system.

It is enabled by the use-spawn option in the config.yml, and is enabled by default.

use-spawn: true

Commands

The commands that fall under the spawn feature include:

• /mirrorspawn

• /removespawn

• /setmainspawn

• /setspawn

• /spawn

Spawn Selection Algorithm

When a player does /spawn on its own with basic permissions, there is an algorithm that AdvancedTeleport executes to decide where the player is teleported to. It is as follows:

1. If the "nearest spawn" feature is enabled, then the nearest spawnpoint to the player is found. If there are no spawns in the player's world or they do not have permission to the spawns in the world, we go to step 3.

2. If there is a spawn that is named after the world that the player is in, it will fetch that spawn and verify the player can access it.

   • If the spawn being checked cannot be accessed by the player and has a mirroring spawnpoint, then the mirroring spawnpoint is checked too.

   • If the final spawn cannot be accessed, then go to step 3.

3. As a final attempt, if there is a main spawn set, then just return it.

4. If no main spawn is set, then the plugin gets the spawnpoint of the world and returns it.

In step 4, the plugin will return the overworld spawnpoint if the player is in the Nether or End by default, handled by the use-overworld option.

use-overworld: true

Nearest Spawnpoint

The "nearest spawnpoint" feature picks out the nearest spawnpoint to the player when deciding on the /spawn or respawn location. It is enabled by the teleport-to-nearest-spawnpoint option.

teleport-to-nearest-spawnpoint: true

Basic Usage

To set a spawnpoint for the world you're in, you are able to just do /setspawn and it will set the spawnpoint as well as the main spawnpoint. If no ID is specified, it will use the world's name.

If you're looking to have multiple spawnpoints for different players, you can use /setspawn [ID] to set an ID for each distinct spawnpoint.
