Better Village Spawn Point

Better Village Spawn Point 3.0 for Minecraft 1.12.2, built for Forge (14.23.5.2860 or newer). Requires Java 8. No other mods are needed, and clients without the mod can join a server that has it.

This is the first release for 1.12.2. It carries the same village search, spawn placement and saved-spawn handling as 3.0 on the newer versions, with these differences that come from the game itself:

Configuration

The config file is config/BetterVillageSpawnPoint-common.cfg, with the same option names as the newer versions.

• villageTags takes structure names as the world generator knows them: Village for vanilla villages, and whatever name a village mod registers (the same names /locate accepts). 1.12.2 has no structure IDs or tags; minecraft:village or #minecraft:village copied from a newer config is read as Village.
• exclusions takes exact names or * wildcard patterns, applied to villageTags and to the vanilla fallback.
• villageSearchRadius is in the same units as on the newer versions.
• The defaults (Village, vanilla fallback on, 2000-block search) are ready to use.

Behaviour

• A brand-new player is placed exactly on the village spawn, facing the village, and so is a player who dies or leaves the End without a usable bed. Players with a bed respawn at the bed as usual.
