This would be a server modification. What it would allow a server operator to do is to set a radius from the origin. Within this circle, each player is assigned a unique spawn location (permanent for said player); the location determined is random within this area. The purpose of this plugin idea is to (1) spread players out across the land, (2) force players to fend and build up themselves, (3) encourage exploration, (4) encourage finding each other and (5) creating pathways to each others locations.
Bump. I love the idea of this mod. Would be very interesting when combined with the Stargate mod. Players spawn randomly, must defend and techup to build a stargate, at which point they can teleport to other players.
Omg, that would be awesome! Could anyone develop this, it's simple mod that would be highly use full!
