(bmobonk) Random Nether Surface Location

[old charm]

How can I get a random surface location in the nether that isn't the bedrock roof? I just want the surface below the bedrock roof

Hi I'm AutoThreadBot! Don't mind me, I'll just be adding the helper team to this thread so they can see it. A human will get to you soon.
You can block this bot if you don't want to see these messages, I won't mind.

it's for a /rtp command if anyone has any other ideas

There's no difference between a two surface like spots in the nether, so there's no one line tag for it. That being said, for an rtp command, I'd do something like ```yaml
#Get 0,0,0 in whatever world the player is in

• define location <location[0,0,0,<player.world>]>
  #Find a random location in said world
• define location <[location].random_offset[100000]>
  #Roughly set that new location in the middle Y of the nether
  #(Since the nether is only 128 blocks tall, if they ever change
  #that you'd want to change this number)
• define location <[location].with_y[64]>
  #Find the closest location the player could reasonably be,
  #using the logic of is_spawnable
• define location <[location].find_spawnable_blocks_within[16]>```

Obviously, this could be shortened quite a bit, but I wanted to make it clear what each part of the tag was for.

Also, to avoid using a constructor, you could also do <player.location.with_x[0].with_y[0].with_z[0]>, but it's a little unwieldy. I believe this one of the few legitimate uses for a constructor (although another helper can call me out if they don't think so)

why not start the location at y 64 and then make the offset 10000,0,10000 or whatever

Like I mentioned, there's ways to make this shorter. It's only broken up so I can point to the things to be aware of. Like y should be roughly in the middle of the nether (y64). There's a number of ways that can be handled.
