but I can see one big problem with this - that it would effectively allow a 'teleport to leader' feature (neglecting a short journey of a few hundred blocks) at any time via suicide, no matter where you are in the world. Who would kill themselves and lose all their gear and XP just to teleport to someone? Most servers have a TP to Player feature anyway :P

Ithilion, Discussions Moderator (Auta i lome) 15:23, March 11, 2017 (UTC) Maybe not in any situation... but what if Fred is in his base in the Shire and feels lazy, so he puts away his items and kills himself in order to teleport to Boyd, leader of his fellowship, in Gondor? That's the kind of thing I had in mind.

And it may be true that most servers do have a /tpa command, but that feature is not something enshrined in the design of the vanilla game nor the LOTR mod, so when making decisions I assume that there will not be such a command. Have it only respawn them near the leader if they were within a radius of, say, 2500 blocks when they died. That way, it can't be used for large, game-breaking teleports, except it does help people journey together.
