Randomly Scatter Players

Spread everyone to random surface spots in an area

✅ Verified for Java 26.2 · Bedrock 26.32 — checked June 2026

Scatters all players to random surface locations across a 2000-block-wide square centered on X=0 Z=0, keeping them at least 200 blocks apart. On Java the 'false' argument is respectTeams (set true to keep teammates together); Bedrock's version has no respectTeams argument, so it is left off. Players always land on the top block and never in lava, water, or fire.
