====== Spawn Spot ======

A **Spawn Spot** (sometimes referred to as "**NewSpawn**") is a safe location randomly selected in the Overworld by server code. All Spawn Spots are within the Border area and the current Spawn Spot is changed regularly: this is the main distinctive mechanic of NewSpawn, and is active almost all of the time, except during [[template:newspawn_truces]], during which the Spawn Spot remains static. Near every Spawn Spot, a settlement known as **Spawn Town** is usually created.

The random election of a Spawn Spot through weekly NewSpawn events is one of the core aspects of NewSpawn gameplay experience, and the one major difference from standard Vanilla Minecraft gameplay. Each time a new Spawn Spot is selected, the world spawn is moved to match the new Spot, hence Compasses point to the new location and players without a bed will spawn there too. An element of randomness in the choice of location makes it so that a Spawn Spot could be either far from or close to the previous one.

Spawn Spots are usually referred to using the notation "NS#XX" where "NS" stands for "NewSpawn" and XX is the number of the Spot. For instance the first official Spawn Spot was [[:ns_0_pueblo_del_rio|NS#00]], the following was [[:ns_1_efrafa|NS#01]] and so on.
