**Start your Minecraft SMP Faster & Easier!**
\nThis datapack will setup a spawn area in one command, this is an area that no player can escape but can still be in before the server starts for everyone at the same time. The prestart command will set gamerules (like doDaylightCycle and doWeatherCycle) which will undo when starting the server. Use this datapack to start a Minecraft server with your friends, but without having to manually create a bedrock box. You want to download this datapack so you don’t have to go through the manual process of setting everything up for a private SMP server.<\/p>\n
